Tallon IV used to be a biological paradise prior to the impact of a Leviathan from Phaaze. What remains of the planet's once rich biosphere is slowly fading due to exposure to Phazon radiation. The ecosystem will eventually be completely obliterated by the radiation. Upon arrival on the planet, Samus Aran estimated that in approximately 25 years Tallon IV would be a barren Class XIII wasteland, because of the effects of Phazon radiation. The planet was once colonized by the Chozo.[1] The events of Metroid Prime take place entirely on Tallon IV, with the exception of Aran's raid of the planet's orbiting Space Pirate Frigate at the beginning of the game.
The planet is in the same system with Oormine II, Twin Tabula, Bilium and Zebes and has a mass of 5.1 trillion teratons.
Chozo colonization
The Chozo that colonized Tallon IV made a conscious choice to eschew a civilisation of advanced technology. They chose to abandon the technological advancements of their culture and build their colony out of unprocessed natural materials, so that it would be harmonious with its surroundings. The Chozo believed that through harmonious coexistance with their surroundings, and ultimately with the universe, they would gain a better understanding of their existance and the nature of the universe. They also claim that as they grew more connected with the universe, they gained the power to see into the future.
The Chozo Lore left behind by the colonizers tells of premonitions of a great disaster in the form of a worm. It may have been a misinterpreted vision of the coming of the Leviathan or Metroid Prime. In the PAL version of the game, the lore contains speculation about the nature of the Leviathan. Some texts consider the possibility that it was crafted by alien hands or that it was infact a part of a planet. The Chozo go as far as suggesting that somewhere in the universe there may be or may have been a planet covered in Phazon. Phaaze is that planet, although it wasn't revealed until in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption.
As time passed the Chozo understood the seriousness of the disaster. They chose to build a temple to contain the Phazon and stop it from poisoning more of the planet. Even though they had given up hope to see the day the Phazon was eradicated themselves, they believed that a savior would come to aid their world one day. They left behind tools and weapons for their savior to find so that their work could be completed. They foresaw the coming of Samus Aran in a vision prior to their destruction.[2] According to Elysian lore a few survivors fled to an unkown location.[3]
