Watch Station

The Watch Station is a room in the Sanctuary Fortress. It appears in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. A large room, it features two rotating platforms in the middle that spin constantly and can be used as platforms. A Spider Ball Track exists on one of the walls and can be used to get to a Kinetic Orb Cannon, and in turn a series of more Spider Ball Tracks and a Morph Ball maze leading to a Beam Ammo Expansion as well as a portal to the Aerial Training Site.

;Luminoth Lore (Sanctuary Falls) (Gamecube version only)
:"Our battered forces gathered in the Sanctuary Fortress to prepare for the inevitable siege there. They didn't wait long. Wave after wave of Ing assaulted the greatest of our fortresses, with one goal in mind: to seize the energy there. The Ing turned the machines of Sanctuary against our warriors, and soon all was lost. The energy of Sanctuary was taken by the Ing. Only one Energy Controller remained on Aether."
;Luminoth Lore (Twilight) (Trilogy version only)
:"What few remained gathered in the Great Temple. There, all but U-Mos, the last sentinel of Aether, entered into life-preserving stasis. There they would remain, to be released once the Ing were destroyed...or to sleep forever. His people safe, U-Mos prepared for the last, terrible assault. In the silence of the Great Temple, he prayed for salvation, for deliverance from the terror of the Ing."
