Griffin-class frigate

A Griffin-class frigate is a fairly large ship used by the Federation Fleet designed to escort larger starships, such as an Olympus-class battleship. The Griffin-class ships G.F.S. Enkidu and G.F.S. Theseus can be seen in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. Based on the naming convention of Galactic Federation vessels, a "G.F.S. Griffin" was likely the first model of this series.
==Development Data==
One of the computer screens in MedLab Delta displays diagnostics information concerning a Griffin-class frigate. On it, the name Captain Ramirez is displayed. This may relate to Luis Ramirez, who was most likely a Captain of one of these vessels.
==Trivia==
*If the battle between the Space Pirates and the Galactic Federation is watched from the windows of the Olympus after Samus is finished in the Briefing Room, a Griffin-class vessel is destroyed by a Space Pirate battleship, and eventually breaks into several pieces.

==Etymology==
The griffin is a fantasy creature with the body of a lion and the head, and often wings, of an eagle (other physiological variations were known in different folklore). Griffins are normally known for guarding treasure. In antiquity it was a symbol of divine power and a guardian of the divine.
