'''Space Pirate Troopers''' are the main form of military in the [[Space Pirate|Space Pirate Organization]]. They were commissioned as the first members of the Organization and the basic form of military. In ''[[Super Metroid]]'', they resemble insectoid creatures, and in the ''[[Metroid Prime (series)|Prime]]'' series, they retained a more humanoid statue. The insect-like physique was brought back in ''[[Metroid: Other M]]''. Pirate Troopers are the most common infantry of the Space Pirates, and rank higher than [[Pirate Militia]].

==2-D Appearances==

The Pirate Troopers of ''Super Metroid'' and ''[[Metroid Fusion]]'' are depicted as crustacean-like beings with a humanoid physique called [[Zebesian]]s.

===Variants===

===''Metroid Prime''===

The simple Trooper from ''[[Metroid Prime (game)|Metroid Prime]]'' is simply known as a Space Pirate, although their [[Logbook]] scan indicates that they are the basic troopers. They are trained very well in weapon and melee combat. They take their work very seriously and do not give much care for cost-effectiveness of their units. They are very intelligent and spend most of their time in battle, hindering [[Galactic Federation]] forces. While they are found throughout the land of [[Tallon IV]], most of them abode in [[Glacier One]] of [[Phendrana Drifts]] and the [[Phazon Mines]]. Different variants of the ''Prime'' pirates exist, such as [[Shadow Pirate|Shadow Pirates]] and [[Flying Pirate|Flying Pirates]]. A special group of Pirate Troopers, called [[Trooper Pirate|Trooper Pirates]], appear and are only vulnerable to the same beam technology that their armorsuits are from. They are only found in the Phazon Mines. Pirate Troopers are sometimes used as bait for [[Metroid (species)|Metroids]] in their Quarantines.

===''Metroid Prime 2: Echoes''===

The standard Space Pirate's name changed to Pirate Trooper in ''[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]]'' for unknown reasons, and remained this way for the rest of the Space Pirate's reign. Their weapon system was altered to a Quantum Assault Cannon and a Photonic Power Scythe. They are commissioned in the [[Agon Wastes]], but evidence shows of their camps in [[Torvus Bog]]. The Pirates were commonly possessed by the [[Ing]], and [[Dark Pirate Commando|Dark Pirate Commandos]] appear in all regions of [[Aether]]. Since the incident on Tallon IV, their weaponry has improved greatly, for they suffered the defeat harshly. When possessed by the Ing, they convert their weapons to those of [[Dark Aether]], strengthening the Ing horde.

===''Metroid Prime 3: Corruption''===

After the initial [[Phazon Corruption]] of the Space Pirates prior to the events of ''[[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]]'', Pirate Troopers were heavily upgraded in weaponry and infantry, each one equipped with [[Phazon Enhancement Device Suit|Phazon Enhancement Devices]] to overpower their forms of battle. The Pirate Troopers were also widespread in varieties at this time. Their weapons were enhanced to Assault Rifles, EMP Grenades, a Dash System, and an energy scythe. A majority of the Troopers were equipped with a temporary hovering system that is similar to that of the [[Aerotrooper]]. Most of the Pirate Troopers were commissioned at the [[Pirate Homeworld]], although many were assigned to [[Bryyo]] and [[Elysia]], as well as the attack on [[Norion]].
