[[File:MP2 Gunship.png|thumb|Samus' Gunship as it appears in ''Metroid Prime 2: Echoes''.]]

The '''Gunship''' ({{ja|スターシップ}}, ''Starship'') is [[Samus Aran]]'s spacecraft that appears throughout the ''{{uv|Metroid}}'' series, first appearing in ''Metroid II: Return of Samus''. Her trusty starship is there when Samus needs to ride around the galaxy. She uses it as a resting place to regain health and ammunition; it also functions as a save point for players to save game data. The front of it also appears to be based on the design of the front of her helmet.

The ship appears in the the game's opening movie, as well as a trophy.

:''This compact ship is used by [[Samus]] as her base of operations. Of course, Samus can't fly it into the catacombs of every planet she visits, so she leaves it on the surface as her sanctuary. Samus can recharge her Power Suit inside the ship, so it tends to be the only safe and secure spot on inhospitable alien terrain.''

Samus's gunship appears as a trophy and as three stickers in ''Brawl''. It is also seen in [[Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary]].

After the [[Halberd]] is torn asunder, Samus' starship emerges, along with the [[Falcon Flyer]], {{SSBB|Falco}}'s [[Arwing]] and {{SSBB|Olimar}}'s [[Hocotate Ship]]. Engaging the [[Subspace Gunship]], {{SSBB|Samus}} and the other pilots kept the huge ship busy while {{SSBB|Kirby}} destroyed it with the [[Dragoon]]. Samus then followed Kirby's Dragoon into [[Subspace]].

:''The ship that Samus pilots. Entering the gunship allows Samus to restore energy and save. Samus has been on numerous voyages in the gunship, but after being attacked by an X parasite in Metroid Fusion, she crashes into an asteroid belt and destroys the craft. After that, the Galactic Federation provides her with a new starship.''

:{{Flag|ntsc}} ''The one partner Samus can rely on in almost all of her missions. In the wide unknown of outer space, she can always return to the Gunship for a safe haven. It allows her to replenish all of her energy and ammunition and even serves as a resting spot for the player. It sounds just like a save point, doesn't it?''

The Gunship appears in both {{SSBU|Zero Suit Samus}} and {{SSBU|Ridley}}'s [[Final Smash]]es.

In Zero Suit Samus' Final Smash, she now stands on the Gunship in the background and dons her Power Suit to aim and fire a shot reminiscent of the [[Zero Laser]].

In Ridley's Final Smash, he throws victims against the Gunship and unleashes a plasma attack that blows the ship up. The ship is then seen crashing in the background.
