The '''GFMC Compound''' is a room in the [[Temple Grounds]]. The room connects the [[Trooper Security Station]], the [[Sacred Bridge]], the [[Windchamber Tunnel]], and the [[Fortress Transport Access]]. [[Samus Aran|Samus]] first enters the room from the Trooper Security Station, which is connected to a side hallway. The hallway opens into the main room. The main room is quite open, with the [[GFS Tyr]] being in the center. A large gate can be found to the right of the Tyr. It can only be lowered with the emerald [[Translator Module]], and the door to the Fortress Transport Access. Many corpses of the Task Force are scattered throughout the room, many of them containing a [[Trooper Log]]. When Samus enters this area, a higher ledge forces Samus to go right. When she passes the ledge, a cut scene will show Samus accessing a [[Galactic Federation data terminal]]. This cut scene will show the fate of the [[GFMC Task Force Herakles]]. A number of crates can be found throughout the room. One large yellow crate in particular rests in front of the Tyr, and contains the [[Missile Launcher]]. Once the Launcher has been obtained, four [[Dark Splinter]]s will appear from [[Portal]]s and attack. A [[Map Station]] can be accessed inside the Tyr by [[Scan Visor|scanning]] an interior door. From the Tyr, Samus can access a side walkway which leads to a disabled [[Kinetic Orb Cannon]]. The Cannon can be reactivated by scanning a nearby terminal. The cannon will shoot Samus over to a high ledge on the other side of the room. From here, she can jump down to the ledge encountered when she first entered. This ledge leads to the door to the Sacred Bridge, blocked by a [[Missile|Missile Shield]]. A small [[Morph Ball]] tunnel can be found on the right, which leads to an alcove. This alcove has the door to the Windchamber Tunnel, blocked by a [[Yellow Door]]. A [[Missile Expansion]] can be found on the top of the Tyr, but can only be collected using the [[Screw Attack]]. Three [[Pirate Trooper]]s will appear on the second visit, and three [[War Wasp Hive]]s on all later visits. The Hives will spawn infinite amounts of [[War Wasp]]s until they are destroyed.

The GFMC Compound is a room in the Temple Grounds. The room connects the Trooper Security Station, the Sacred Bridge, the Windchamber Tunnel, and the Fortress Transport Access. It served as an emergency landing site for Squad Bravo of the GFMC Task Force Herakles when their ship, the G.F.S. Tyr, was damaged by magnetic storms.[1]

Samus first enters the room from the Trooper Security Station, which is connected by a hallway that opens into the main chamber. The G.F.S. Tyr rests in the center. A large gate of Luminoth origin lays to the right of the Tyr and can only be lowered once Samus updates her Translator Module to read Emerald holograms, and behind it is the door to the Fortress Transport Access.

Several corpses of the members of Squad Bravo are scattered throughout the room, including Lance Corporal J. Brode, Private First Class I. Crany, Captain A. Exeter, Private First Class G. Haley, Private First Class S. Milligan, and Specialist F. Triplette, many of them containing intact Trooper Logs.

When Samus enters this area, a higher ledge forces her to go right. When she passes the ledge, a cutscene shows her accessing a Galactic Federation Data Terminal containing a final message from Captain Exeter regarding the fate of his crew.

A number of Galactic Federation Crates can be found throughout the room. One Galactic Federation Ordnance Crate rests in front of the Tyr and contains the Missile Launcher.[2] Once the Launcher has been obtained, four Dark Splinters will appear from Portals and attack.

A Map Station can be accessed inside the Tyr by scanning an interior door. From the Tyr, Samus can access a walkway which leads to a disabled Kinetic Orb Cannon. The Cannon can be reactivated by scanning a nearby terminal. The cannon will shoot Samus over to a high ledge on the other side of the room. From here, she can jump down to the ledge encountered when she first entered. This ledge leads to the door to the Sacred Bridge, blocked by a Missile Shield. A small Morph Ball tunnel can be found on the right, which leads to an alcove. This alcove has the door to the Windchamber Tunnel, blocked by a Yellow Door. A Missile Expansion can be found on the top of the Tyr, but can only be collected using the Screw Attack.

Three Pirate Troopers will appear on the second visit, and three War Wasp Hives on all later visits. The Hives will spawn infinite amounts of War Wasps until they are destroyed.

Inhabitants of the Room

Creature Number Encountered
Dark Splinters 4  Only after collecting the Missile Launcher  
Pirate Troopers 3  Second visit
