A Biologic Space Lab ship
This article is about the B.S.L organization. For the area, see Biologic Space Labs Research Station.

Biologic Space Labs, abbreviated B.S.L and often referred to as simply Biologic, is an organization contracted by the Galactic Federation with research of SR388 after the Metroid species was exterminated on the planet.[1] Motivated by the Galactic Federation, Biologic applies their research of the specimens on the planet to practical uses, even military ones. Their only known base is the Biologic Space Labs research station, a newly built research facility that was devastated by the X brought from SR388.

B.S.L Research[edit | edit source]

Samus escorting B.S.L researchers to collect samples from SR388

Though Biologic was tasked with research of SR388 and its ecosystem, the researchers have brought in specimens from other planets, such as Rippers and Dessgeega from Zebes for research. Samus was hired to escort B.S.L researchers on planet SR388 to collect biological samples.

The true nature of their research, however, is revealed to be the militarization and warfare applications of these organisms, most obviously displayed through Nightmare. Nightmare is a creature outfitted with a gravity manipulator researched by Biologic for the purpose of warfare.[2] Biologic is also revealed to have studied Metroids in the Restricted Laboratory, using SRX's SR388-like atmosphere to nurture juvenile Metroids to more powerful ones. A secret message, the Federation's wish to salvage the X and the research station, and a conversation between Adam and a Federation official reveals that the Galactic Federation (or at least some members of it) are well aware of Biologic's research.[3]

Considering that the research station is new, Biologic's main directive may have been military application and Metroid research.
