The Cargo Hub is a very large room on Norion in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. It connects to a few different rooms, one of them being Control Tower Access. It has several dead Galactic Federation Marines in it. A small hatch can be opened by a Hand Scanner, which leads into a maze underneath the floor.

Connecting roomsEdit

Hub Access (via Blue Door)
Tower Elevator (via Blue Door blocked by blast door)
Substation West (via sealed door)

Federation Marine corpse (2): "Subject has flatlined. Cause of death: heart failure due to extreme cranial trauma."

Federation Marine corpse (3): "Target is deceased. Appears to have suffered fatal wounds from friendly fire."

Federation Marine corpse (4): "Scan indicates target has suffered severe blast trauma. Source: energy grenade."

Circuit board (damaged): "Circuit board damaged. Welding repairs necessary to restore door operations."

* B has this scan only during the Leviathan invasion, when Rundas activates it- afterwards, the Generator cannot be energized due to the Metroid Hatcher.

TriviaEdit

After getting the Missile Expansion and leaving the ventilation shafts, Samus can become stuck in the opposite wall if she un-morphs at the correct time. Samus will be unable to move from the position and will be dealt continuous damage.
In the 2006 prototype of Corruption, the enemy composition in this room is radically different. Instead of facing Aeromines, Samus encounters Space Pirates.
The sequence where Ghor battles and kills a Berserker Knight was animated by Sonny Santa Maria.
The Tower Elevator will be blocked off by a Federation Marine if Samus were to revisit Norion, saying it is "blocked off due to repairs," similar to what the Marine in the path leading to Generator C says.
