G.F.S. Olympus

From Wikitroid, the Metroid wiki

(Redirected from GFS Olympus)
Samus' Gunship enters the G.F.S. Olympus.

The G.F.S. Olympus is a Galactic Federation Olympus-class battleship that appears in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. It is the first area Samus Aran explores in the game. The Olympus is home to three main varieties of crew members, including Troopers, and tech specialists, as well as engineers. The docking bay Samus lands in has a small area for using the Training Drones, which are used by the soldiers aboard for training and entertainment. At the time of Metroid Prime 3, the G.F.S. Olympus is 18 years old and is stated as being the first ship of its size to receive an Aurora Unit. The Aurora Unit 242, is a female personality whose integration into the Olympus' systems means the ship needs less crew than other kinds of ships of similar size, leaving more space over to weapons systems.

The Olympus is captained by Fleet Admiral Castor Dane, and is based around Norion. When Admiral Dane is talking to Samus about the mission, a Space Pirate laser destroys a Griffin-class frigate but hits another ship similar to the Olympus-class twice without any visible damage. However, if Samus remains long enough on the bridge, a space pirate battleship will fire directly at the Olympus's bridge, causing no visible damage.

It is attacked soon after Samus meets with Admiral Dane by Space Pirates. After the attack on Norion, Samus wakes up on the Olympus in the PED Suit, where she tests Hypermode.

After Samus acquires the command codes for the Leviathan orbiting the Pirate Homeworld, The Olympus takes control of it and uses it to create a wormhole to Phaaze. The Olympus leads the assault on the Space Pirate force above the planet while Samus lands on Phaaze and searches for Dark Samus.

[edit] Trivia

In Greek mythology, Mount Olympus was regarded as the "home of the gods", specifically of the Twelve Olympians, the twelve principal gods of the ancient Hellenistic world. Any climb to Mount Olympus starts from the town of Litochoro, which took the name City of Gods because of its location on the roots of the mountain. Mount Olympus was the home of the 12 Olympian gods. Mount Olympus was the most worshiped mountain of Greece. Olympus was surrounded by Uranus, the heaven. It never rained on Mount Olympus nor was it ever windy, only some clouds were appearing from time to time to bless the world with water.

Mount Olymp is a popular mountain name. Apart from the Greek Olympus, there was a mountain of the same name in ancient Phrygia and also currently one in Cyprus, one in Utah, one in Washington, one in San Francisco, CA, one on Mars, and many others.
