[[Samus Aran]] detects a distress signal from the [[Space Pirate|Space Pirates']] [[Frigate Orpheon]]. She boards the frigate and finds it in disrepair, and largely devoid of life. Data found on computer terminals within the frigate suggest that it had been recently used to research the material [[Phazon]], which the Space Pirates discovered on [[Tallon IV]], the planet the Orpheon orbited. When Samus reaches the ship's [[Reactor Core]], she discovers the most successful biological experiment of the Space Pirates, the [[Parasite Queen]]. Samus is forced to battle the creature. Its corpse falls onto the reactor, causing it to become critical. As Samus begins to evacuate the ship she is confronted by [[Ridley (specimen)|Ridley]]. Ridley causes an explosion that greatly damages Samus's [[Power Suit]], reducing it to basic functionality. Samus quickly returns to [[Samus Aran's Gunship|her gunship]]. Ridley flies away to the planet and Samus pursues him. The frigate eventually falls to the planet.

Samus discovers that Tallon IV was formerly inhabited by the [[Chozo]]. Thanks to the [[Chozo Lore|Lore]] the Chozo left on the ruins and temples of Tallon IV, Samus discovers that the planet had been struck by a meteor many years ago. The meteor, which would later be discovered to be a [[Leviathan]], carried with it a strange substance, known to the [[Chozo]] as [[Phazon|"The Great Poison"]]. As the poisonous substance brought by the meteor spread over the planet, it caused great damage to the biosphere. At the time of Samus's arrival, it had already caused widespread mutations in the local organisms, and rendered some areas lifeless. Samus also discovers that the Space Pirates estimated that life in Tallon IV would perish in a span of 25 years.
