Exterior Docking Hangar (外観ドッキングハンガー, Gaikan Dokkingu Hangā) is an area in the Frigate Orpheon in Metroid Prime. It is the first room explored in the game, the first in the Prime series, and the first Metroid room in 3-D. The Exterior Docking Hangar is where Samus lands her Gunship. To proceed into the frigate, Samus must deactivate two force fields by shooting a number of switches. The second set must first be activated by scanning an Interface Module. The hall that the door leads to is still part of the hangar.

At the end of the escape sequence caused by the destruction of the Parasite Queen, Meta Ridley is seen at the hangar; Samus attempts to follow him in her gunship but loses track of him and lands on the nearby planet, Tallon IV.

The room is not encountered while exploring the Orpheon after the vessel crashed into the Tallon Overworld, and was possibly destroyed.

ScansEdit

Samus' Gunship: "Energy Force Field in place. You cannot reach your gunship."

Force Field: "This Force Field blocks the entrance. Something nearby must be able to deactivate it."
Switch: "This switch is directly connected to the Force Field barrier."

Force Field (2): This Force Field blocks the entrance. You cannot deactivate the Force Field unless the switches are red."

Switch (2): "This switch does not seem to be operational. The Control Panel on the pillar in this room can turn it on."

Interface Module: "Force Field activation switches are now online."

Outer Door: "Entrance to Main Docking Bay"

HallEdit

Outer Door: "Entrance to Exterior Docking Hangar"

Wall: "DECK GAMMA >>; Reactor Core and Propulsion; CURRENT STATUS> >; Environment normal."

Wall: "DECK BETA >>; Biohazard Research; CURRENT STATUS >>; Environment normal."

Wall: "DECK ALPHA >>; Emergency Evacuation Area; CURRENT STATUS >>; Environment unstable."

Inner Door: "Entrance to Air Lock"

TriviaEdit

The Exterior Docking Hangar is similar to the Hangar Bay in that they both have connecting hallways from the Landing Site that seem to be part of the bay. Both have force fields blocking access to these hallways, and have "hangar" in their names.
