The Pirate Warship is a spacecraft belonging to Space Pirates and boss in Metroid Prime: Federation Force.
Description[]
In M16: Slipstream, the Federation Force is assigned with going to Bion to investigate the activation of an ancient skiff, but they find themselves in a trap and come under fire from the Pirate Warship, forcing them to destroy it. The soldiers utilize catapults that fire spheres at the ship to damage it. The spheres must be pushed into the catapults using weapons fire, much like balls in Blast Ball.
The Pirate Warship will summon Dropships to defend itself, and launch bombardments of several purple projectiles at regular intervals. These projectiles resemble the spheres fired by the Berserker Lord, although the Pirate Warship's projectiles cannot be fired back at it. The projectiles will impact the Ancient Skiff and create holes. While this will not cause immediate problems with maintaining flight, the holes may cause the Force to forfeit the bonus objective of not losing any spheres. Destroying the projectiles before they impact will prevent any damage to the skiff.
Soldiers need to hit the Pirate Warship eight times within ten minutes until it explodes; otherwise, the mission fails.
Trivia[]
- In prerelease footage, General Alex Miles refers to the Pirate Warship as a Space Pirate heavy-assault ship.[1]
- Multiple Pirate Warships are used against the G.F.S. Aegis and multiple Federation Starfighters at the start of M22: Convergence.
