The '''Gunship''' ({{ja|スターシップ|Sutāshippu}}, ''Starship''), also referred to as the '''Starship''', is [[Samus Aran]]'s spacecraft.
The '''Gunship''' (also known as the '''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 Gunship 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.
 
Samus's most iconic Gunship has appeared frequently in both the ''Metroid'' and ''Smash'' series, with minor design alterations between ''Super Metroid'', ''Metroid Prime 2: Echoes'', and ''Metroid: Other M'' reflected by its appearances throughout the ''Smash'' series. However, other ships have been used by Samus over the years, two of which have been the basis of [[sticker]]s in ''Brawl''. Her original ship in ''Metroid: Zero Mission'' is shot down by Space Pirate vessels after the defeat of [[Mother Brain]]. She replaces her lost ship with a new Starship, seen in ''Metroid Prime'' and ''Metroid Prime Hunters''. In ''Metroid Prime 3: Corruption'' and ''Metroid Prime: Federation Force'', Samus has yet another ship of a different design, that she can control remotely via the Command Visor to fire missiles at targets. Finally, after her iconic ship crashes into an asteroid belt in ''Metroid Fusion'', Samus receives a new Galactic Federation Starship with the A.I. of Adam Malkovich as an onboard computer. Samus continues to use this particular gunship as her mode of transport in ''Metroid Dread'', and part of the plot is Samus attempting to make her way back to it from the depths of planet ZDR.
