The Bottle Ship is referred to as "a decommissioned space facility" in Metroid: Other M. This "derelict space station" is the abandoned ship seen in the original trailer's asteroid field. It is one of the main areas of the game.

Samus enters the station after her gunship recieves a distress signal from it. She explores the ship and encounters her former comrades from the Galactic Federation, including Adam Malkovich, Anthony Higgs and Lyle. The group defeats a purple beast composed of smaller insects and then splits up to explore the rest of the space station. Due to an unknown event possibly involving ULF 46, the Bottle Ship later explodes, possibly after a Countdown.

The Bottle Ship appears to be surrounded by space gas, with some debris surrounding it, making the station look as if it is destroyed.
