[[File:BRC.jpg|thumb|260px|right|Samus in the Bioweapon Research Center]]
A complex accessed from an elevator in the Biosphere, the Bioweapon Research Center is where Samus learns the details of the Federation plot to create bioweapons as well as the plot to propagate Metroids. Ridley is killed here by a [[Queen Metroid]]. The body of [[James Pierce]] is discovered here, presumably killed by MB or a [[Desbrachian]], and MB herself dies here. Madeline Bergman is found in one of the holding cells in Room MW, which also contains six specimen tanks and houses the Queen Metroid. Room MW is also preceded by several corridors populated by sentry drones and [[Rinka]]s.

*Many similarities exist between the Bottle Ship and the [[Biologic Space Laboratories Research Station]]. Both stations consist of specialized sectors Samus must venture through, both also sport discreet Metroid testing, and both hold the entirety of their respective games.
