This article is about the classification. For the specific ship from Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, see Gunship (Corruption).

Samus' Hunter-class gunship from Metroid Prime. This particular model is also used by Samus in Metroid Prime: Hunters.

The Hunter-class gunship is a type of craft employed by Samus Aran. Her Gunships in the Metroid Prime series comprise the extent of known examples of this class; however, her Starships in Metroid: Zero Mission and Metroid Fusion are not referred to by this classification. The designation is only used in Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, Metroid Prime Hunters, and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption.

The Hunter-class title presumably refers to Samus's occupation as a Bounty Hunter. Similarly, the early Captain N: The Game Master comics in the Nintendo Comics System likewise named her starship Hunter IV.

Although her Gunship in Corruption is Hunter-class in the final game, the prototype instead designates it as Tallon-Class.
