G.F.S. Tyr

The GFS Tyr is an Anhur-class gunship used by the Galactic Federation. It made its first appearance in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes and was commanded by Captain A. Exeter.

Exeter landed the GFS Tyr on Aether while pursuing a Space Pirate frigate that crash-landed on the planet. He and his crew used pieces of the ship to create their own compound on Aether. Exeter and his crew were eventually killed by many Dark Splinters, leaving the remains of the GFS Tyr a burning, smoking wreck. Why they were overrun in a single attack is unknown but one of trooper logs suggests that they dark splinters had attacked from a unexpected direction.

Samus eventually discovered the crash site and learned of its fate by accessing a computer terminal. Many of its dead crew members were possessed by the Ing, creating the Dark Troopers that Samus is forced to fight.

There is a Missile Expansion on top of the crashed ship.
