Entry	First Location	Entry Text	Limited Scan?	Notes
Ingsmasher	Sanctuary Fortress - Hall of Combat Mastery	Designed to fight alongside the Luminoth, the Ingsmasher now seeks to destroy them. In close combat, it smashes its energized fists into the earth to send out powerful shock waves, then pulverizes any immobile prey. It will fire salvos of missiles at long-distance quarry. It uses an energy shield in battle that can be adjusted to protect against a variety of beam weapons. The shield can be overloaded by opposite-polarity beams, however, damaging the Ingsmasher in the process.	Yes	Only five Ingsmashers can be scanned for a Logbook entry, three in the Hall of Combat Mastery and two in the Reactor Access
Mekenobite	Sanctuary Fortress - Sanctuary Temple	The Luminoth created the Mekenobite to help patrol the corridors and shafts of Sanctuary Fortress. It uses magnetism to keep itself attached to the walls and ceilings. In combat, it will fire projectiles toward its target with a magnetic accelerator. It can only be dislodged by simultaneous explosive blasts. Mekenobites self-destruct once they are heavily damaged.	No	Can also be found in the Sentinel's Path
Quad CM	Sanctuary Fortress - Reactor Core	A Quad is formed of two components: the quadruped Main Body and the flying Command Module. These units can function independently, or linked together, as the need arises. The Command Module relies on ranged beam weapon attacks. It can generate a powerful beam shield to protect itself. Opposite-polarity beams can penetrate this shield, however.	No	Found in multiple areas throughout Sanctuary Fortress
Quad MB	Sanctuary Fortress - Reactor Core	A Quad is formed of two components: the quadruped Main Body and the flying Command Module. These units can function independently, or linked together, as the need arises. The Main Body uses melee attacks in battle. Though durable, it needs to vent excess heat from its body. When this happens, it exposes a venting system vulnerable to concussive attacks.	No	Found in multiple areas throughout Sanctuary Fortress
Watchdrone	Dark Torvus Bog - Dungeon	Watchdrones were built by the Luminoth to guard key areas and hinder Ing armies. Most of these units have betrayed their masters, and now serve the Ing. Watchdrones are indestructible and reluctant to move, but can be forced into quitting their posts by exposing them to bright, pure light. Once the light fades, the mechanoid will return to its original resting site.	No	None

Small

Entry	First Location	Entry Text	Limited Scan?	Notes
Diligence Class Drone	Sanctuary Fortress - Dynamo Access	The Diligence drones were the first cleaning units designed by the Luminoth. They were modified for combat duty once the war began, but were outshined by the newer Harmony-class units. A Diligence uses focused energy beams to perform its duty. Their energy construct nature makes them invulnerable to most attacks, though dark energy can disrupt them.	No	None
Harmony Class Drone	Great Temple - Transport C Access	The Luminoth designed the Harmony units to be free-roaming, independent cleaning units. They use focused energy beams and kinetic pulses to perform their duties. Unfortunately, they now consider all living things as filth that must be cleansed from the world.	No	None
Mechlops	Sanctuary Fortress - Dynamo Access	The Luminoth tried to domesticate and train a number of Triclops for use in war, but failed. Undaunted, they created mechanical versions of the hardy creatures to use in battle. The few Mechlops that remain now serve other mechanoids, turning their potent jaws and earthmoving power against their former masters.	No	None
Octopede	Sanctuary Fortress - Power Junction	The Octopedes were created to deliver data to Luminoth citizens. They now follow their routes in the service of other rogue mechanoids. The units were designed to self-destruct if attacked, and will explode with enough force to cause damage.	No	Can also be found in Torvus Temple Access
Rezbit	Sanctuary Fortress - Reactor Access	The Rezbit, though small, is a tough opponent. Its weapon system is potent, capable of firing bursts or beams at targets. A barrier shield blocks incoming attacks. It can also shift into an energy state to evade enemies: while in this state it can transmit a powerful virus into mechanoids and armor systems. The virus can cripple your systems for a time, leaving you vulnerable.	No	Found throughout Sanctuary Fortress
Serenity Class Drone	Sanctuary Fortress - Temple Transport Access	The Serenity drones have not gone rogue. The units are defenseless, have no weapons, and cannot be eaten. These qualities make them useless to the Ing. The small drones are assigned simple maintenance tasks upon creation and perform them without hesitation until reassigned or destroyed.	No	None

Stationary

Entry	First Location	Entry Text	Limited Scan?	Notes
Caretaker Class Drone	Sanctuary Fortress - Main Research	The Caretaker drone was designed to protect and maintain an experimental energy chamber. It uses electrically charged limbs to perform its duties. The drone requires sensor updates to fight: a vulnerable detection unit will extend periodically to search for targets. Destroying this unit would weaken its combat ability.	Yes	Can only be scanned from outside its chamber
Growler Class Turret	Temple Grounds - Trooper Security Station	The GM-42 "Growler" Class Turret is a dated design, though still quite effective as a point-defense system. It is lightly armored, and fast-moving targets can evade its tracking system. Several copies of the system exist, including the Space Pirate "Humility" Class automated turret.	Yes	The turret cannot be scanned again once it is destroyed
"Humility" Class Turret	Agon Wastes - Biostorage Access	The Space Pirates copied captured Federation "Growler" turrets, but found the cannon unit inadequate. The replaced the Growler's weapon with a powerful galvanic accelerator cannon. The "Humility" turret packs a strong punch, but retains the Growler system's weaknesses. Fast targets can evade the crude targeting system, and the armor can't take much punishment.	No	None
Luminoth Turret	Temple Grounds - Fortress Transport Access	As the number of Luminoth warriors dwindled, they turned to machines to protect key areas. Automated gun turrets were often the first line of defense against Ing attacks. Though powerful, they weren't nimble enough to deal with agile enemy targets.	No	Can also be scanned in Temple Transport Access and in the Transit Station
"Vigilance" Class Turret	Agon Wastes - Central Mining Station	The "Vigilance" Class Turret is found in many Space Pirate bases. Built to support the "Humility" Class Turret, it is as accurate as the gunner operating it. Many young Space Pirates begin their careers as sentries: a tour as a Vigilance gunner is considered a mark of distinction.	Yes	Only two turrets can be scanned for a logbook entry

Dark Aether

Emperor Ing

Entry	First Location	Entry Text	Limited Scan?	Notes
Emperor Ing Body	Sky Temple - Sanctum	Bioscans indicate that this is the eldest, strongest Ing in the Horde, the alpha and the omega. It has absorbed enormous amounts of Phazon energy into its body, mutating itself in the process. Apparently this power is not enough for the creature, as it is now siphoning energy from the final Energy Controller.	Yes	Entry is not permanently stored in the Logbook due to the lack of Save Stations after the Emperor Ing
Emperor Ing Head	Sky Temple - Sanctum	Like its brethren, the Emperor Ing is a metamorph. It has molded itself around the precious Energy Controller, and will defend it to the death, using its own body as a shield and weapon. Destroy the tentacles it generates to weaken the creature and its defenses.	Yes	Entry is not permanently stored in the Logbook due to the lack of Save Stations after the Emperor Ing
Emperor Ing Eye	Sky Temple - Sanctum	The Emperor Ing has exposed its main eye, from which it can fire powerful energy beams. It is protected by an energy shield, although not completely. The eye can be locked onto, but only direct shots will get past the shield.	Yes	Entry is not permanently stored in the Logbook due to the lack of Save Stations after the Emperor Ing
Emperor Ing Chrysalis	Sky Temple - Sanctum	The heavily damaged Emperor Ing has entered a regenerative state inside a durable healing shell. Tactical scans have detected eleven weak points on the magnetically charged shell: Spider Ball travel is possible on the shell surface. Damage the weak spots with explosives to crack the shell and expose the enemy within.	Yes	Entry is not permanently stored in the Logbook due to the lack of Save Stations after the Emperor Ing
Mutated Emperor Ing	Sky Temple - Sanctum	Further exposure to Phazon has mutated the Emperor Ing. It is now capable of shielding its vulnerable areas with energy barriers. Beams of opposite polarity can damage these barriers, however. Heavy damage to these barriers will cause them to drop, exposing the creatures weak spots. Target the weak spots to immobilize and damage the enemy.	Yes	Entry is not permanently stored in the Logbook due to the lack of Save Stations after the Emperor Ing

Offworld

Dark Samus

Entry	First Location	Entry Text	Limited Scan?	Notes
Dark Samus 1	Agon Wastes - Main Reactor	Scans indicate the presence of Phazon and your genetic material within this entity. She wears a version of the Varia Suit, altered and augmented by the Phazon within her. Primary weapons include the Missile Launcher and a scattershot variant of the Power Beam. Boost and Jump abilities are superior to yours. The ability to generate Phazon energy shields is also present.	Yes	Can only scanned before she is defeated
Dark Samus 2	Sanctuary Fortress - Aerie Access	Tactical scans have identified several new battle systems in the armor of Dark Samus. She now wields a potent variant of your Charge Beam. Her Boost attack has been augmented, and the ability to render herself invisible is present as well. Bioscans suggest that Dark Samus can reform her body short of total atomic disruption. Extreme caution recommended.	Yes	Can be scanned in both Aerie Access and Aerie, can only be scanned before she is defeated
Dark Samus 3	Sky Temple Grounds - Sky Temple Gateway	Scans indicate that Dark Samus has absorbed tremendous levels of Phazon into her body: too much, perhaps. She can vent Phazon energy in the form of destructive blasts and protective shields: doing so will help her maintain stability. Exposure to Phazon has rendered her invisible to the Dark Visor. These new abilities, combined with her already formidable arsenal, place Dark Samus at the highest threat level.	Yes	Can only be scanned before Dark Samus raises her Phazon based shield for the first time, the entry is not permanently entered into the logbook due to a lack of Save Stations after Dark Samus is defeated
Dark Samus 4	Sky Temple Grounds - Sky Temple Gateway	Dark Samus has temporarily become a being of pure yet unstable Phazon energy. She can generate a shield that is invulnerable to all attacks, save one - blasts of Phazon energy itself. Use your Charge Beam to collect Phazon energy that she expels, then fire it back at her. Direct hits will overload and disrupt her essence.	Yes	Can only be scanned after Dark Samus raises her Phazon based shield for the first time, the entry is not permanently entered into the logbook due to a lack of Save Stations after Dark Samus is defeated

Metroids

Entry	First Location	Entry Text	Limited Scan?	Notes
Tallon Metroid	Agon Wastes - Biostorage Station	The Space Pirates harvest and enslave Metroids for use in their operations. The Tallon Metroid will latch onto prey with powerful pincers, then proceed to drain its life energy. This causes the creature to grow in size and mass. The creatures are vulnerable to the chilling effect of dark energy, and can be detached by entering Morph Ball mode and deploying a Bomb.	No	Can later be found in Bioenergy Production
Infant Tallon Metroid	Agon Wastes - Biostorage Station	The Space Pirates use infant Tallon Metroids as a portable energy source. Small in size, they are easy to transport in large quantities. They are docile, efficient organic batteries...until they are exposed to Phazon. At that point, they grow rapidly and acquire their full array of powers.	No	None

Pirates

Entry	First Location	Entry Text	Limited Scan?	Notes
Pirate Aerotrooper	Agon Wastes - Biostorage Station	Pirate Aerotroopers are known for their cold precision and utter cruelty. Armed with both beam and missile systems, the Aerotroopers can be a difficult foe to engage, especially at range. Their jet packs can be overloaded with heat-based attacks, however. These units prefer death before dishonor: an injured Aerotrooper will make a suicide strike before allowing himself to be captured.	No	Can later be found in the Central Mining Station and in the Watch Station
Pirate Commando	Torvus Bog - Torvus Grove	Dedicated to "hunting the Hunter," Space Pirate Commando units have been equipped with the latest weapons, including a variable pulse cannon, e-grenade launcher, and energy scythe. Powerful thrusters carry them at high speed over any terrain. A portable barrier shield repels most attacks, but can only be deployed for limited periods.	Yes	Can later be scanned in the Sanctuary Entrance and a final time in the Phazon Grounds
Pirate Grenadier	Agon Wastes - Command Center	The Space Pirates have begun to use an experimental energy grenade launcher in the field. The weapon is viewed as a mixed blessing to the Grenadier units: while the grenade launchers are powerful weapons, Grenadiers must leave their rifles behind to carry them. Fast-moving targets can close range on Grenadiers, rendering their main weapons somewhat ineffective.	No	Can also be scanned in the first visit to the Path of Eyes
Pirate Trooper	Mining Station A	The Space Pirates suffered a serious defeat at Tallon IV, yet they remain a powerful force for crime and disorder in the galaxy. Their technology continues to advance: even the lowly trooper has received numerous upgrades to his arsenal. A photonic power scythe and quantum assault cannon are now standard-issue weapons for all troopers.	Yes	Can later be scanned in the Command Center, the Portal Terminal, and a final time in the Path of Eyes
Preed	Torvus Bog - Hydrodynamo Station	The cybernetic Preeds are aggressive hunters used as patrol animals by the Space Pirates. They carry lethal Nohadin gas for use as a defense mechanism. If a Preed is ruptured, the gas within it is violently released. This toxic cloud often proves fatal to the Preed's killer.	No	Only found in the Hydrodynamo Station of Torvus Bog
