An '''Aurora Unit''', often abbreviated as '''AU''', is a {{wp|Biocomputers|biological supercomputer}} created by the [[Galactic Federation]]. Aurora Units were introduced in ''[[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]]'' and are, so far, only found in that game. There are only four Aurora Units mentioned throughout the game, but their names are followed by a three-digit number, suggesting that there are numerous amounts of Aurora Units. Even though there are four, [[Aurora Unit 486|one of them]] is mentioned and never seen throughout ''Corruption''. Aurora Units are large creatures best described as "mechanical brains." They live inside of presumed life-supporting chambers, with the exception of the [[Dark Samus|Dark Samus's]] [[Phazon Corruption|corrupted]] [[Aurora Unit 313]]. It is interesting to note that both Aurora Units that Samus speaks to (Aurora Units [[Aurora Unit 242|242]] and [[Aurora Unit 217|217]]) use "we" instead of "I." Also, these Aurora units are able to convey messages at each other, this may imply that all Aurora Units are linked somehow. | An '''Aurora Unit''', often abbreviated as '''AU''', is a {{wp|Biocomputers|biological supercomputer}} created by the [[Galactic Federation]].

*The Aurora Units resemble [[Mother Brain]] in appearance. | [[File:AUchamber.png|250px|right|thumb|An image that appears briefly in the ''Corruption'' trailer.]] | ||
*The Aurora Units resemble [[Mother Brain]] in appearance, and it is hinted in an image from one of the trailers of ''Metroid Prime 3: Corruption'' that a future Aurora Unit complex would be the basis for her base on Planet [[Zebes]] in ''[[Super Metroid]]''. The area in the trailer appears nearly identical to the base in architecture. This hints that the [[Space Pirate|Space Pirates]] may have taken over the future complex of Aurora Unit 242 and implanted in Mother Brain, or could have possibly reverted 242 into their own new version of her after her defeat on Zebes in the original ''[[Metroid (game)|Metroid]]''. | |||
*The Aurora Units, in both appearance and function, resemble the Huragok from the Halo video game series. Whether this can be taken to imply that the Engineers are in turn inspired by Mother Brain's form and function is debatable. | |||
