In time, two [[Parasite Queen]]s escaped from their containment and killed much of the crew. The survivors managed to terminate one of the Queens and activate the distress beacon Samus received before abandoning ship. Others were gravely injured and still aboard when she arrived. When Samus infiltrates the frigate, she discovers the remaining Parasite Queen in the [[Reactor Core (Frigate Orpheon)|Reactor Core]] and engages it in battle. Upon its defeat, it falls into the ship's reactor and triggers a self-destruct sequence. Samus manages to escape, and what remains of the frigate crashes onto nearby [[Tallon IV]].

After Samus obtains the [[Gravity Suit]] in [[Phendrana Drifts]], she is able to explore the now-downed Orpheon, as it is flooded with water. [[Aqua Reaper]]s have infested the frigate, and a few pirates have stayed behind, most likely searching for survivors. The ship's power is not functional, causing Samus to have to activate power conduits with her [[Wave Beam]] and [[Thermal Visor]]. The vessel only has one [[Missile Expansion]] and two [[Energy Tank]]s. It is the only means of entering the [[Phazon Mines]] without [[Power Bomb]]s, which are found in the area anyway.
After Samus obtains the [[Gravity Suit]] in [[Phendrana Drifts]], she is able to explore the downed ''Orpheon'', resting at the [[Frigate Crash Site]], now flooded with water. [[Aqua Reaper]]s, [[Tallon Crab]]s, and [[Aqua Sac]]s have infested the frigate, and a few [[Aqua Pirate]]s have entered it, most likely searching for survivors.
 
As the ship's main power is offline, Samus must activate [[Power Conduit]]s with her [[Wave Beam (Metroid Prime)|Wave Beam]] and [[Thermal Visor]] to progress through much of the area. The vessel only has one [[Missile Expansion]] and two [[Energy Tank]]s.
 
Traveling through the crashed frigate is the only means of entering the [[Phazon Mines]] without [[Power Bomb]]s.

"Frigate Orpheon" is a stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. A Parasite Queen is seen hanging in the background. The stage is unique in that it occasionally flips one hundred eighty degrees, slightly changing the terrain. This feature, however, does not reflect any abilities of the actual frigate. There is also a stage in [[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes#Multiplayer|''Echoes''' multiplayer mode]] called [[Sidehopper Station]] that greatly resembles the Frigate Orpheon.

*The large doors found throughout Frigate ''Orpheon'' are the same model as the hatches above the elevators in the various transports between regions in ''Prime'', as seen [[:File:Elevator_Hatch_mp1_Screenshot_01.png|here]].
