"In the year 20X5 of the Cosmic Calendar, the [[Space Pirates]] attacked a deep-space research vessel and seized capsules containing samples of an unknown species that had been discovered on planet [[SR388]]. The Space Pirates' objective was to acquire these life-forms: known simply as [[Metroid_(species)|Metroids]], these floating organisms were incredibly dangerous, as they could latch onto any other organism and drain its life-energy. Furthermore, it was possible to replicate Metroids in vast numbers by exposing them to beta rays. The hypotheses that the Metroids were responsible for one of the greatest mysteries in the entire galaxy — the extinction of all life on planet SR388 — was generally accepted as fact.

If the Space Pirates were able to breed the Metroids and use the creatures as biological weapons, the destruction of all galactic civilization would be inevitable. After a desperate search, the [[Federation]] Police discovered the Space Pirates' base of operations on the planet Zebes. They launched a full assault on the planet, though pirate resistance was strong, causing the Federation Police to retreat. Meanwhile, in a room hidden deep within the center of the pirate fortress, the preparations for multiplying the Metroids were steadily progressing.

As a last resort, the Federation Police decided to send a lone space hunter to penetrate the pirate base and destroy Mother Brain, the mechanical life-form that controlled the fortress and its defenses. [[Samus Aran]] was chosen for the mission, considered the greatest of all bounty hunters. Samus had successfully completed numerous missions that others had thought impossible before, making her an excellent candidate. However, despite her accomplishments, much of Samus's true identity remained wrapped in mystery.

Alone, Samus Aran successfully landed on the surface of [[Zebes]], which was, in fact, the planet where Samus had been raised as a child by the [[Chozo]]. Her mission is a huge success. She defeats Space Pirate commanders [[Kraid]] and [[Ridley]] as well other monstrosities before confronting [[Mother Brain]], the organic supercomputer that controls everything on Zebes. However, as she is leaving the planet, Space Pirate fighters attack her [[gunship]], causing Samus to crashland back on the planet's surface, near the Space Pirate Mothership.

The crash has left Samus' [[Power Suit]] in need of repair. She decides to pursue without the suit and explore the Mothership Samus. There she confronts a mechanized form of Ridley, possibly an early attempt at creating [[Meta Ridley]]. Setting off a self-destruct sequence Samus is able to escape in a Space Pirate Escape pod. The blast destroys the Mothership and puts an end to the Space Pirates' plans on utilizing the Metroids.
