Like Samus, the other bounty hunters, and the Galactic Federation, they sent their own “representative” in Weavel, a bounty hunter and an elite but unknown individual defeated by Samus at some point during her onslaught on Zebes. Suffering heavy losses due to security breaches by both local and experimental lifeforms, Samus caused immense destruction to all their bases and outposts, and the lack of sufficient reinforcements led to the end of their Tallon IV operations.Īt some point between the events of the first Metroid Crisis on Zebes, and the Dark Conflict on Aether, the Prime Pirates also received a telepathic message from the Alimbic Cluster. Unfortunately for them, the Chozo language and codes were too difficult for the pirates to decipher, and thus could only come up with the theory that in order to gain access to the crater, one had to find Chozo Artifacts that functioned as keys. Identifying an unknown creature inside the Impact Crater, also dubbed Metroid Prime, was another reason to continue further research on the Chozo Ruins. The freezing temperatures of Phendrana’s climate aided the pirates in controlling the Metroids held there while drastic security measures were implemented at the mines due to Metroids mutating into more dangerous forms such as the Hunter and Fission Metroids.
Two bases of operations were established at Phendrana Drifts and the Phazon Mines. Science teams on the planet’s surface were researching the radioactive substance, primarily found inside a crater that was sealed off by Chozo energy fields. Sometime later, they lost control over the orbiting ship, and the pirates were left to their demise as the bioweapons escaped, including the Parasite Queen, which then started wreaking havoc onboard. This was the beginning of their mutation programs regarding Phazon and the completion of Meta Ridley. When the returning scouts came back with samples, and information about what came to be known as Phazon on the planet Tallon IV, they decided to settle a base there. A short time thereafter, a powerful energy source was detected by the Prime Pirates aboard the Frigate Orpheon. Right off the bat, it was established that they had a direct link with their Zebesian comrades, since they acknowledged their failure on Zebes based on logs found on the Frigate Orpheon. The Space Pirates that conquered Zebes will be called the Zebesians and will be handled in another feature, and the Prime Pirates as we will call them here, hail from the Pirate Homeworld located in an unknown solar system. We look into their history, and dive deep into what makes them so interesting. These creatures are well known to conquer planets and claim them as their own. It is now time for us to focus on the Space Pirates, a foe that has been a thorn in the side of the Galactic Federation and Samus Aran across the majority of the series.
