When Samus retrieved the last surviving [[Metroid Hatchling]] from [[SR388]], she took it to Ceres Station, so that the scientists could study its energy producing qualities. The scientists concluded that the powers of the Metroid could be harnessed for the good of galactic civilization. Before they could study the Metroid further, the station was attacked by [[Ridley (specimen)|Ridley]]. The distress call to Samus came too late. Upon arrival at the station, she found everyone dead and the Metroid in Ridley's possession. After fighting Samus for a brief time, Ridley triggered the station's self destruct sequence and fled, leaving Samus no choice but to retreat. The station self destructed and nothing remains of it now. | ||

Ceres is a dwarf planet in the same solar system as Earth. The tiny planet is located in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. In ''[[Super Metroid]]'', we see the Ceres Space Colony surrounded by asteroids, suggesting that it too is located in or near an asteroid belt, or an asteroid field. This would suggest that the colony is in fact situated in our solar system. The only contradicting evidence for this placement is the nebula we see in the background as Samus is leaving the station. | Ceres is a dwarf planet in the same solar system as Earth.

Nebulae this large can not be seen with the naked eye from our solar system. That said, our solar system remains the most likely location for the colony. | ||
