Luminoth Technology
In preparation
This article is in its preparation stages and is currently in "beta" mode. The page will be finished eventually.
It has been requested that images, better images, or more images be added to this page or section.
The Luminoth, as a species, are a warrior race, but are also extremely technologically advanced.
After their world was split, many of their finest achievements fell into the hands of their fierce enemy, the Ing. Samus acquires some of these devices and bonds them to her Varia Suit.
