Samus started out as a young girl on the mining colony of [[K-2L]] with her parents [[Rodney Aran]] and [[Virginia Aran]].

When she was three years old, her hometown was visited by the [[Chozo]], a bird-like race. They came in peace, and Samus immediately found a spark of interest with one of the Chozo elders, [[Old Bird]]. The two became close and built up a deep and warm friendship. | ||
Much to Samus's dismay, a [[Space Pirate]] flagship | Much to Samus's dismay, a [[Space Pirate]] flagship landed on the innocent colony and a raid ensued, led by none other than the dragon-like bioform [[Ridley]]. Samus's three-year old mind could not comprehend the nature of violence, and assumed Ridley was a visitor, and asked him if they could become friends. Feeling humiliated and embarrassed in front of his unit, Ridley made a strike to ultimately kill Samus. Just as any mother would protect her kin, Virginia got in the way of the strike and suffered a fatal blow. Rodney also sacrificed himself to destroy the Space Pirate flagship. Ridley deserted the scene, but one mistake was left under all the dust of the battle; the mistake was indeed Samus Aran, the only survivor of the attack. After her mourning sorrows, she vowed to have her revenge on Ridley. | ||
When all hope for a young Samus seemed to be lost, Old Bird and the rest of the Chozo came to her aid. The Chozo voyagers brought Samus to their home planet, [[Zebes]]. Unfortunately, [[Mother Brain]] predicted that Samus's frail body could not withstand harsh life in Zebes.

Unfortunately, [[Mother Brain]] predicted that Samus's frail body could not withstand harsh life in Zebes. The Chozo hoped to evade this problem by infusing her with Chozo blood and giving her the [[Power Suit]], a bio-mechanical suit with many weapons and functions, thus giving birth to the powerful bounty hunter popularly known in today's [[Metroid (series)|Metroid franchise]]. For several years in grueling training, Samus was taught by the Chozo their culture and their ways of battle. As a teenager, her physical attributes far surpassed those of a regular humans. However, when the time came, Samus left the Chozo to join the [[Galactic Federation]], a organization created to bring justice in the regions of space. | ||

When Samus arrived at the Federation | When Samus arrived at the Federation Academy, her abilities exceeded the Federation's expectations. She was given even greater superhuman strength, and was issued into the [[Star Trackers]], an organization in which one in a million officers reaches its requirements. She was placed under the order of Commander [[Adam Malkovich]], who found great trust and faith in Samus. He always finished an order by stating "Any objections, lady?" as a symbol of trust. A few years later, however, Samus mysteriously disappeared. The period of absence is shrouded in mystery. | ||
