Metroid Wiki is in need of filling in various stubs!
Frigate Orpheon is a Space Pirate vessel that stores much data from many creatures native to Planet Zebes. It appears in Metroid Prime. Samus is sent there after she recieves a distress signal from its remaining crew. The Parasites escaped from their cells, killing much of the crew. Samus infiltrated the disaster, only to confront a Parasite Queen that fell into the ship's reactor and caused it to crash, Samus barely escaping. She lost all of her upgrades in an explosion in one of the elevators.
The Second Visit
After Samus obtains the Gravity Suit in Phendrana Drifts, she is able to explore the now downed Orpheon. Aqua Reapers have infested the frigate. A few pirates have stayed behind, most likely searching for survivors. The ship's power is ultimately down, 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 route to enter Phazon Mines without Power Bombs, which are found in the area anyway.
Other Appearances
"Frigate Orpheon" is a stage in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. A Parasite Queen is seen hanging in the background. The only real feature in this stage is the fact that it flips upside-down, which really has nothing to do with the actual frigate whatsoever.
