Battle cruiser Emmons

The battle cruiser Emmons is a vessel mentioned in Metroid Prime. It is not stated to be affiliated with the Galactic Federation, but due to the Space Pirates wanting to avoid being detected by the Emmons, it most likely is. The ship's only mention exists in a computer screen scan, in the Elite Control room of the Phazon Mines.
==Elite Control==
"We have evaded detection by the battle cruiser Emmons. The brief lapse in planetary security caused by the crash of our frigate is over. Now we can concentrate our efforts on the Hunter."
==Etymology==
The Emmons is likely named after the USS Emmons, a World War Two era United States destroyer. It was sunk on April 7, 1945 by the USS Ellyson, after it suffered five hits from a Kamikaze aircraft the previous day.
