Docking Bay

This article is about the room in the Celestial Archives. For other uses, see Docking Bay (Disambiguation).

The Docking Bay is a room on the Celestial Archives. It appears in Metroid Prime Hunters. The Docking Bay has three levels, each having ports for a different Alimbic ship. On Level 1, ports for Alimbic heavy-cargo starfreighters are built. On Level 2, ports for Alimbic medium-range transports have been made. On Level 3, ports for Alimbic passenger carriers have been constructed.

The Space Decay theme begins playing in this room.

Description

This room is directly outside the Celestial Archives. Upon entering for the first time, Samus is attacked by a Guardian. Once she kills it, it never returns. Samus can climb up the outside of the station to reach a long plank-like platform. From here there are numerous lifts to take her to five platforms in the middle of space. The platform farthest to the left, and the two to the right contain Portals leading to the Incubation Vaults, while the one in the middle features a Lore entry and the one beside it features a UA Expansion.
