Emergency Evacuation Pods, also known as Evacuation Pods, Escape Pods or Emergency Escape Pods, are devices used to evacuate objects such as ships or floating platforms. In Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Samus uses one after destroying the Elysian Leviathan's shield, though she had to repair it first. Steamspiders were encountered in the Elysian one, indicating that they may be used to keep them repaired. Why the pod required repair is unknown; while old age could be a factor, Ghor or the Space Pirate assault on the Spire may also have damaged the pod.
