Samus discovers that Tallon IV was formerly a [[Chozo]] civilization. Based on carvings in the ruins of the Chozo city, a cataclysmic meteor strike and the resulting environmental damage wiped out the Chozo living there. The meteor, which would later be discovered to be a [[Leviathan]], brought Phazon to Tallon IV. As the poisonous Phazon brought by the meteor spread over the planet, it caused damage to the biosphere. At the time of Samus's arrival, it had already caused widespread mutations in the local organisms, and rendered some areas lifeless. Samus discovers the space pirates' estimate that in approximately 25 years, no life will remain on Tallon IV. | Samus discovers that Tallon IV was formerly a [[Chozo]] civilization.

The various carvings scattered around the Chozo Ruins document the Chozo's struggle to destroy the Phazon emanating from the meteor and return the planet to its original state. The Chozo, who were themselves being eroded by the Phazon, were unsuccessful in their attempts to right the planet's ecosystem. Eventually, they resolved to seal the meteor and [[Impact Crater]] from which the Phazon emanates. They left behind a series of twelve artifacts that are capable of breaking the seal, in the hope that someday an individual would arrive and succeed where they failed. | |||
This seal is an inconvenience for the Space Pirates, who want to extract all the planet's Phazon for use as an energy source and in continued biological experiments. With the goal of breaking the seal in mind, they have captured several of the artifacts. | |||
