The Skiffs attack the Spire Pod with their cannons, causing considerable damage to its structure. If the Spire is destroyed, Samus will die. They appear alongside Pirate Troopers, who will distract Samus from concentrating her fire on the Skiffs. They are very powerful, but share the weakness of the ATC; the front vent is vulnerable to weapons fire."@en . . . . "The fast moving Space Pirate Assault Skiff is used to support troops in combat. The skiff is mounted with a tribeam cannon, which is capable of firing powerful charged shots. However, the cannon itself is unprotected and can be easily overloaded. This modified version of the ATC has sacrificed durability for speed, and often employs hit-and-run tactics."@en . . . . . . "Lightly armored assault craft. Cannon appears vulnerable."@en .

One can be briefly seen in the sky over the Bryyo Thorn Jungle's Field Access when Samus enters the room for the first time. It will pass overhead and will not attack. It can be scanned for a brief period. A crashed Assault Skiff (presumably the one seen earlier) can be found in the Jousting Field (the room where the Korakk boss is fought), after the Leviathan's Western Shield Generator is destroyed. Scanning the \"downed spacecraft\" reveals it was caught in the shield generator's explosion. It is found alongside a confused Advanced Pirate Trooper and a Pirate Militia, presumably survivors from the crash. The downed spacecraft will stay there for the remainder of the game."@en . .
