Aries-class transport

The Aries-class transports were used by the Galactic Federation’s Fleet to quickly transport Marines into and out of battles. A few of these transports could be seen docked with the G.F.S. Olympus right before the Space Pirate assault on Norion in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. A month later, Aries-class transports were used during the Federation’s assault on the Pirate Homeworld to destroy turret emplacements and deploy ground troops onto the planet.

==Etymology==
Aries, the ram, is the first astrological sign in the Zodiac, originating from the constellation of Aries. In western astrology, this sign is no longer aligned with the constellation as a result of the precession of the equinoxes. In astrology, Aries is considered a masculine, positive (extrovert) sign. It is also considered a fire sign and is one of four cardinal signs. Aries is ruled by the planet Mars. Being the first sign in the zodiac, Aries is associated with the astrological 1st house.
In mythology, Aries is often associated with the Greek myth of the ram which carried Athamus' son Phrixus and daughter Helle to Colchis to escape their stepmother Ino, as well as the mythological figure of Theseus, from the Greek myth of the Minotaur.
