Editing Galactic Federation Data

'''Galactic Federation Data''' is stored on monitors throughout Planet [[Norion]] and [[Galactic Federation]] vessels. They present information regarding subjects pertinent to the plot. They are only found only in ''[[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]]'', although some [[Galactic Federation Marines]] held their own logs, known as [[Trooper Logs]], in ''[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]]''.

| style="{{border}} {{background}}" | [[Phazon]] is a substance of extragalactic origin. It is a highly radioactive ore with extreme mutagenic properties. It has certain biological qualities, including the ability to reproduce itself. Exposure to Phazon often affects the brains of sentient beings, causing erratic, destructive behavior. It is also a potent source of energy, surpassing even [[Fuel Gel]] in pure output potential. It must be handled carefully, as it can cause “[[Phazon Corruption|Phazon Sickness]]” if used incorrectly.<ref>{{cite|[[Phazon]] is a substance of extragalactic origin.

| style="{{border}} {{background}}" | The [[Phazon Enhancement Device Suit|Phazon Enhancement Device]] is designed to harness the energy of Phazon minerals, originally discovered on [[Aether]], for a new Federation weapon system. It is being tested on GF Marine battalion stationed in the Norion system. Marines can initiate an energy siphon from a supply of Phazon carried in a backpack into their armorsuits. This allows them to temporarily enhance the exoskeleton and weapon systems to their armorsuits. To date, no marines have displayed signs of “Phazon sickness.”<ref>{{cite|The [[Phazon Enhancement Device Suit|Phazon Enhancement Device]] is designed to harness the energy of Phazon minerals, originally discovered on [[Aether]], for a new Federation weapon system.

| style="{{border}} {{roundbr}} {{background}}" | Planet [[Aether]], home of the [[Luminoth]], was struck by a “[[Leviathan|Phazon Meteor]]” five decades ago. The impact had catastrophic effects on the already unstable planet, creating a “[[Dark Aether|dark twin]]” of the planet and a fierce race known as the Ing. A brutal war between the twin planets took place, with the [[Ing]] gaining the upper hand. The ''[[G.F.S. Tyr]]'' went to the sector to investigate pirate activity, but were forced to make an emergency landing on Aether. Shortly after, the entire crew of ''Tyr'' was attacked and annihilated by the Ing. Hunter Samus Aran was sent to investigate, and wound up entangled in the local conflict. Aran fought against both Space Pirates and Ing, and arose victorious. Aether’s “dark twin” vanished, taking with it the Ing horde, and the planet’s peace was finally restored.<br>After the Aether incident, the Federation sent the ''[[G.F.S.
