After Samus successfully defeated the Space Pirates on Zebes and their leader, [[Mother Brain]], she encounters the Pirates again in the same star system while responding to a distress signal emanating from one of their [[Frigate Orpheon|research frigates]], which managed to escape the destruction.<ref>{{cite|Zebes has fallen.

Some time later, Samus eradicates the Metroid infestation on SR-388, save for one specimen that she entrusted to the scientists on the [[Ceres Space Colony]]. That specimen was stolen by [[Ridley]] and taken back to Zebes, where the Space Pirates had reestablished much of their subterranean network.

Tourian was the Space Pirate headquarters constructed beneath the planet's surface. Originally, it was situated just under Crateria, but after its initial destruction by Samus Aran, it was reestablished deeper inside Zebes's underground network. The environment is completely synthetic, constructed of artificial materials and composed primarily of laboratories where the Space Pirates experimented with Metroids. It was also the central location from which Mother Brain commanded her forces in both incarnations of the area. | Tourian was the Space Pirate headquarters constructed beneath the planet's surface.
