Escape Pod

Evacuation Pods, also known as Escape Pods, are devices used to evacuate objects such as ships or floating platforms. In Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Samus uses one after destroying the Elysian Leviathan's shield, though she had to repair it first.

Steamspiders were encountered in the Elysian one, indicating that they may be used to keep them repaired. It is possible that either Ghor damaged the circuitry or that the Space Pirates assault may have done it.
