Samus, after destroying Mother Brain, crash-landed back on Zebes after being attacked by Space Pirate fighters, and lost her Gunship and Power Suit. She was forced to infiltrate the Space Pirate Mother Ship in search of an escape vessel, and came across the escape-ship bay. However, she was unable to access it while suitless. What becomes of the Escape Ship is unknown. Samus has not been seen reusing this ship. In subsequent games, she uses her own Gunship, which is believed to have been her original ship, recovered from Zebes and refitted.
