'''Elite Pirates''' are [[Space Pirate|Space Pirates]] that have had Phazon infused with their DNA as part of a Space Pirate program called [[Project Helix]].<ref>{{cite|Confidence is high regarding Phazon applications. We know enough about Phazon now to begin combining it with Space Pirate DNA. The code name for this venture will be 'Project Helix'. Preliminary studies indicate that Phazon infusion could produce radical new Pirate genomes. Benevolent mutation levels are high in current test subjects. Phazon madness is a concern, but refinements in the infusion process should reduce or neutralize the odds of mental degeneration.|[[Space Pirate Data]]|Metroid Prime}}</ref> [[Samus Aran|Samus]] battles three in the [[Phazon Mines]], though there were several in stasis that did not attack Samus. There are two, even more powerful, Elite Pirates present as well: the [[Phazon Elite]] and the [[Omega Pirate]].


Elite Pirates attack by using Wave Quake Generators to create shock waves that spread out in a sizable radius and by siphoning the energy from beam weapons to fuel the plasma cannons kept on their shoulders.

After Samus enters Elite Control, the exits will become blocked with shields. The first Elite Pirate will break out of its stasis pod and attack. While dodging its shock waves Samus may use her [[Thermal Visor]] to target its plasma cannon allowing her to destroy it. This enables her to stay outside of the range of all of its attacks.
==Properties==
Elite Pirates attack by using Wave Quake Generators to create shock waves that spread out in a sizable radius and by siphoning the energy from beam weapons to fuel the plasma cannons kept on their shoulders.<ref>{{cite|Recommended battle systems for Elite Pirates are as follows: shoulder-mounted Plasma Artillery Cannon, Repulsion Shield, Wave Quake projector, energy-siphon system, and retractable Wrist Bayonets.|Scan Data|Metroid Prime}}</ref>


A second Elite Pirate is fought shortly after Samus collects the [[Power Bomb|Power Bombs]]. Then a third shortly after Samus returns to the Phazon Mines after collecting several upgrades, this one does not have a plasma cannon.
===Specimens===
After Samus enters [[Elite Control]], the exits will become blocked with shields. The first Elite Pirate will break out of its [[Cryosleep Tank|stasis pod]] and attack. While dodging its shock waves, Samus may use her [[Thermal Visor]] to target its plasma cannon, allowing her to destroy it. This enables her to stay outside of the range of all of its attacks.
 
A second Elite Pirate is fought in the [[Omega Research]] shortly after Samus collects the [[Power Bomb]]s.
 
A third Elite, this one without a plasma cannon, attacks in the [[Dynamo Access]] shortly after Samus returns to the Phazon Mines after collecting several upgrades. Its stasis tank is laced with Phazon, unlike the others, and its face has a distinct red color, further distinguishing it.
