Mk XIII "Twin Hydra" Multiturret

The Mk XIII "Twin Hydra" Multiturret is a turret equipped with four rail cannons. It operates via a targeting system, and is primarily used against enemy starships. Several can be found defending the Galactic Federation ship G.F.S. Olympus, and other Olympus-class battleships in the Federation Fleet.

Although the Twin Hydra only has a temporary scan in English, the game's German text contains a full logbook entry, which is translated here. This entry was removed in the Metroid Prime Trilogy version of the game.
==Trivia==
*In Greek mythology, the Lernaean Hydra (Greek: [Λερναία Ὕδρα] ) was an ancient nameless serpent-like chthonic water beast (as its name evinces) that possessed 9 heads— the poets mention more heads than the vase-painters could paint— and poisonous breath so virulent even her tracks were deadly. The Hydra of Lerna was killed by Heracles as one of his Twelve Labours. Its lair was the lake of Lerna in the Argolid, though archaeology has borne out the myth that the sacred site was older even than the Mycenaean city of Argos, for Lerna was the site of the myth of the Danaids. Beneath the waters was an entrance to the Underworld, and the Hydra was its guardian.
**"Twin" may refer to the second labor, which was the one that involved the Hydra.
