===Mission File 79109===

The [[Galactic Federation]], with the help of [[Federation Empath]]s, intercepted and translated a repeating [[Neural Thread]] from an uncharted sector of the [[Tetra Galaxy]] known as the [[Alimbic Cluster]].<ref>{{cite|---MISSION FILE 79109---<br/>"The secret to ULTIMATE POWER lies in the ALIMBIC CLUSTER."<br/>---DATA CONFIRMATION---<br/>This repeating neural thread, originating from an uncharted region of the TETRA GALAXY known as the ALIMBIC CLUSTER, was recently intercepted and translated by federation empaths.|Introduction|Metroid Prime Hunters}}</ref> The message read only, "The secret to ULTIMATE POWER lies in the ALIMBIC CLUSTER."

She uses their abandoned technology to gather strange artifacts called [[Octolith]]s. After examining the messages left by the Alimbics, she learns of how their civilization was destroyed by the creature [[Gorea]], who also must have sent the false message. Despite the warnings, Samus uses the Octoliths to open the way to Gorea's prison, and the other Hunters get there first, thinking to destroy the threat.  

They instead destroy the Seal Sphere containing Gorea, and he ascends, ripping their energy out of them and using it on Samus. Samus manages to weaken Gorea, and an Alimbic device activates. Samus gains the [[Omega Cannon]], which she uses to kill Gorea once and for all. Samus and the other hunters manage to escape, with the "Ultimate Power" destroyed.

''Metroid Prime Hunters'' was the first game to introduce other bounty hunters besides Samus to the series. More bounty hunters were introduced later in ''[[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]]''. The following bounty hunters appear in the game.

*[[Kanden]] is a result of a failed experiment to create a super-soldier. He is insane and unpredictable, first encountered on Celestial Archives.

*[[Noxus]] is a bounty hunter originating from [[Vhozon]] he believes in and fights for justice.  

*[[Samus Aran]] is a bounty hunter working under the [[Galactic Federation]]. She is the main protagonist of the game.  

*[[Spire]] is the only survivor of the [[Diamont]] race. He is searching for the truth of what happened to his race.  

*In some sources, such as ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', there is often a colon inserted after "Prime" in ''Metroid Prime Hunters''. However, more official sources, such as [http://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/06538594-faae-4099-9b2d-c18a91353902 Nintendo's website], do not have the colon.

*''Metroid Prime Hunters'' is the only ''Metroid'' game to not actually involve any [[Metroid (species)|Metroids]].
