Frigate ''Orpheon'' was one of three Space Pirate frigates that managed to retreat from orbit around Zebes after the [[Metroid (game)|destruction]] of the underground Space Pirate facilities.<ref>{{cite|Zebes has fallen.

All ground personnel are presumed dead, either killed by the Hunter clad in metal or in the subsequent destruction of the underground facilities. Our research frigates Orpheon, Siriacus and Vol Paragon were in orbit at zero hour and managed to retreat. Frigate Orpheon is now docked at Vortex Outpost. Orpheon's cargo appears to have a 100% survival rate; Metroids are healthy but on restricted feeding schedules due to uncertain supply status. We are ready to begin research on the Metroids and other promising life-forms.

Among the species procured from the planet for these experiments were [[Parasite]]s, [[Plated Parasite]]s, [[Shriekbat]]s, [[Ice Shriekbat]]s, [[Plazmite]]s, [[War Wasp]]s, and [[Zoomer]]s. Of these, mutations of [[Parasite Queen]]s were the most successful. | ||
In time, two [[Parasite Queen]]s escaped from their containment and killed much of the crew. The survivors managed to terminate one of the Queens and activate the distress beacon Samus received before abandoning ship. Others were gravely injured and still aboard when she arrived. When Samus infiltrates the frigate, she discovers the remaining Parasite Queen in the [[Reactor Core (Frigate Orpheon)|Reactor Core]] and engages it in battle. Upon its defeat, it falls into the ship's reactor and triggers a self-destruct sequence. Samus manages to escape, and what remains of the frigate crashes onto nearby [[Tallon IV]]. | In time, two [[Parasite Queen]]s escaped from their containment and killed much of the crew.

After Samus obtains the [[Gravity Suit]] in [[Phendrana Drifts]], she is able to explore the downed Orpheon, resting at the [[Frigate Crash Site]], now flooded with water. [[Aqua Reaper]]s have infested the frigate, and a few pirates have stayed behind, most likely searching for survivors. The ship's power is not functional, causing Samus to have to activate power conduits with her [[Wave Beam]] and [[Thermal Visor]]. The vessel only has one [[Missile Expansion]] and two [[Energy Tank]]s. It is the only means of entering the [[Phazon Mines]] without [[Power Bomb]]s, which are found there. | |||

"Frigate | "Frigate Orpheon" is a stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. A Parasite Queen is seen hanging in the background. The stage is unique in that it occasionally flips one hundred eighty degrees, slightly changing the terrain. This feature, however, does not reflect any abilities of the actual frigate. There is also a stage in [[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes#Multiplayer|''Echoes''' multiplayer mode]] called [[Sidehopper Station]] that greatly resembles the Frigate Orpheon. | ||
