The Gunnery Station is a room aboard the G.F.S. Olympus. It appears in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption.
Description[]
The station serves as a place to monitor two Mk XIII "Twin Hydra" Multiturret rail cannons. However, this corridor also serves two other purposes: the first of which is to provide access to Command Lift B from MedLab Delta. The second is to provide a room in which those who have a PED installed to test out their Hypermode weapons on the five mounted Phazon Targets first seen by Samus Aran in MedLab Delta, the room from which the station is entered. When destroyed, these plates will leave behind pickups for Samus to replenish her energy after using it in Hypermode. There are also 3 Galactic Federation Crates which always leave behind Ultra Phazon Units. As such, Samus is often encouraged to use Hypermode here. After she wakes up from her coma, Samus will also find a Federation PED Marine who thanks her and the Bounty Hunters for their efforts.
