MOM Drive Unit Concept Art

Concept art of the drive unit and Lusitania

The drive unit (ドライブユニット?) is a Galactic Federation technology used as an engine for starships.

Description[]

The drive unit is a large booster ring attached to civilian shuttles for interplanetary voyages.[1]

In a Metroid: Other M cutscene revealing the incident that led Samus Aran to defect from Adam Malkovich's command, the civilian spaceship Lusitania is seen being towed by the Galactic Federation Battleship VIXIV, with the drive unit attached to the former ship. Ian Malkovich was repairing it before it went critical. Adam ordered the drive unit to be detached, but the VIXIV's operators were reluctant, as was Samus, who insisted to save Ian. As she puts it, "if [they] had waited any longer, it would have meant the end of those [they'd] come to rescue, and the end of [them] as well." The drive unit was detached, and it was last seen exploding over a planet, killing Ian.
