Frigate ''Orpheon'' was one of three Space Pirate frigates that managed to retreat from orbit around Zebes after the [[Metroid (game)|destruction]] of the underground Space Pirate facilities.<ref>{{cite|Zebes has fallen.

All ground personnel are presumed dead, either killed by the Hunter clad in metal or in the subsequent destruction of the underground facilities. Our research frigates Orpheon, Siriacus and Vol Paragom were in orbit at zero hour and managed to retreat. Frigate Orpheon is now docked at Vortex Outpost. Orpheon's cargo appears to have a 100% survival rate; Metroids are healthy but on restricted feeding schedules due to uncertain supply status. We are ready to begin research on the Metroids and other promising life-forms. Security status remains at Code Blue; no signs of pursuit from the Hunter.|[[Metroid Prime Logbook]] "Fall of Zebes"|[[Metroid Prime (game)|Metroid Prime]]}}</ref> ''Orpheon'' docked at [[Vortex Outpost]] with its load of [[Metroid (species)|Metroid]] cargo and later entered orbit around [[Tallon IV]] in search of promising life-forms upon which to perform mutagenic experiments with [[Phazon]]. Among the species procured from the planet for these experiments were [[Parasite]]s, [[Plated Parasite]]s, [[Shriekbat]]s, [[Ice Shriekbat]]s, [[Plazmite]]s, [[War Wasp]]s, and [[Zoomer]]s. Of these, mutations of [[Parasite Queen]]s were the most successful. | ||
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]]. | In time, two [[Parasite Queen]]s escaped from their containment and killed much of the crew.
