'''Frigate Orpheon''' is a [[Space Pirate]] vessel that stores | '''Frigate Orpheon''' is a [[Space Pirate]] vessel that stores data from many creatures native to Planet [[Zebes]]. It appears in ''[[Metroid Prime (game)|Metroid Prime]]''. [[Samus Aran]] is sent there after she receives a distress signal from its remaining crew. The [[Parasite]]s escaped from their cells, killing much of the crew. Samus infiltrates the frigate only to confront a [[Parasite Queen]] that falls into the ship's reactor upon its defeat, activating a self-destruct sequence. Samus barely escapes, and what remains of the frigate crashes onto nearby [[Tallon IV]]. Whilst escaping, Samus comes across the rebuilt [[Meta Ridley]], who breaks free of his restraints and escapes the doomed vessel, fleeing to the planet below to oversee Space Pirate activity. Samus loses most of her upgrades during her escape, as commonly happens in early stages of ''Metroid'' games, from impact with an elevator caused by an explosion. | ||

[[Aqua Reaper | After Samus obtains the [[Gravity Suit]] in [[Phendrana Drifts]], she is able to explore the now downed Orpheon, as it is 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 one [[Energy Tank]] and is the only means of entering the [[Phazon Mines]] without [[Power Bomb]]s, which are found in the area anyway. | ||

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 resembles the Frigate Orpheon. | ||
