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. All ground personnel are presumed dead, either killed by the Hunter clad in metal or in the subsequent destruction of the underground facilities. Our research frigates Orpheon, Siriacus and Vol Paragom were in orbit at zero hour and managed to retreat. Frigate Orpheon is now docked at Vortex Outpost. Orpheon's cargo appears to have a 100% survival rate; Metroids are healthy but on restricted feeding schedules due to uncertain supply status.

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. After the final battle with the rebuilt Mother Brain, the base suffers a massive explosion that results in the destruction of the planet. | 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]].

After the final battle with the rebuilt Mother Brain, the base suffers a massive explosion that results in the destruction of the planet. However, many of its lifeforms lived on onboard research stations like the [[Bottle Ship]] and the [[Biologic Space Labs Research Station]], the former of which Samus likened to a "nightmare version" of the planet. | ||

Brinstar is an underground jungle environment | Brinstar is home to both a rocky zone with little plant life, and an underground jungle environment full of vegetation and teeming with wildlife. The lower Brinstar section, bordering the superheated Norfair area, is composed of red soil and less flora than the levels above. In ''Super Metroid'', Brinstar encapsulates the [[Kraid (area)|Kraid area]], where Samus encounters the high-ranking Space Pirate, also called [[Kraid]], and part of the original rocky Brinstar area. | ||

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. | ||
