. . . "The Mother Ship was recognizable for its purple, enormous and bulky appearance, coupled with relatively short, sturdy wings. Along with areas built into the ruins of Chozodia, a docking bay was constructed containing Space Pirate Fighters. When ships entered or left the Mother Ship, a door in the front would open, resembling a mouth or beak. The Mother Ship housed the incomplete Ridley Robot, a safeguard created in Ridley's image in order to protect the ship in his absence. This Robot was connected to the Mother Ship and its destruction caused the triggering of a three, five or seven minute (depending on difficulty level) countdown to the destruction of the Mother Ship as well. After Samus' escape, the ship's interior started to glow red (which could be seen through the ship door) and the ship fell apart with an explosion, leaving it a scorched wreck. Scan images aboard the Frigate Orpheon in Metroid Prime feature the ship as being shaped similarly to the Mother Ship, implying that they are of the same model. The ship replaced the Space Pirate Flagship depicted in the Metroid Manga."@en . . . . . . . . "Space Pirate Mother Ship"@en . "Enscripture"@en . . . . . . .
