Vortex Outpost is a Space Pirate controlled outpost in an unknown sector of space.

After the fall of Zebes, the research frigate Orpheon retreated with its Metroid cargo and eventually docked at Vortex Outpost, at which time the Pirate Data entry entitled Fall of Zebes was recorded.[1] Though its exact location is not revealed, the fact that Vortex Outpost was Orpheon's last recorded position between Zebes and orbit around Tallon IV may indicate that it is somewhere in, or nearby, the FS-176 system, or the Spiral Sector.[2]

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" —Pirate Data "Fall of Zebes" (Metroid Prime)
