== The Battle ==
==History==
Shortly after [[Samus Aran|Samus]] enters its quarters, the Omega Pirate will shatter its stasis pod. Samus has to destroy the Phazon plates on its knees and shoulders, causing it to collapse. After collapsing the Omega Pirate will become invisible while two to three Pirate Troopers arrive to assist it. Eventually the Omega Pirate will appear in one of three veins of Phazon in the chamber to regenerate the plates, but it is completely vulnerable during this time. Samus must use the [[X-Ray Visor]] to target it, after blasting it enough the Omega Pirate will disappear again only to reappear at another vein of Phazon. If Samus damages it enough before it has finished regenerating, it will call for more reinforcements. Once defeated, it will collapse directly on top of Samus before disintegrating. The Phazon inside the Omega Pirate corrupts Samus's suit giving her the [[Phazon Suit]].
The Omega Pirate was designed to be the most powerful of the [[Project Helix]] endeavors. Samus encounters only one Omega Pirate, but the Space Pirates intended to make more, though this undertaking was not without its challenges: simulations revealed that rapid cellular degeneration from intense [[Phazon]] exposure was resulting in unacceptably short life spans in test subjects, which was not cost-effective for the project,<ref>{{cite|Data suggests that Omega Pirate life spans are critically low.

When [[Samus Aran|Samus]] approaches the stasis tank in the Elite Quarters, the Omega Pirate awakens and shatters its stasis pod.

If Samus damages it enough before it has finished regenerating, it will call for more reinforcements. Otherwise, it will disengage the cloak and return to combat with a renewed set of Phazon plates, and the cycle repeats.

The Omega Pirate, also known as Elite Pirate Upsilon, is the most powerful of the Elite Pirate forces and the pinnacle of Project Helix. Its body is more resilient than that of an Elite Pirate and it is capable of absorbing Phazon to regenerate, becoming invisible when it does.[1] Due to a design flaw in its energy absorption system not present in its Elite Pirate counterparts, it remains vulnerable to Missiles while attempting to siphon energy from beam weapons.[2]

History[edit | edit source]

The Omega Pirate was designed to be the most powerful of the Project Helix endeavors. Samus encounters only one Omega Pirate, but the Space Pirates intended to make more, though this undertaking was not without its challenges: simulations revealed that rapid cellular degeneration from intense Phazon exposure was resulting in unacceptably short life spans in test subjects, which was not cost-effective for the project,[3] and Omega Pirate weaponry still had critical design flaws.[2] Since test subject life span predictions were available in simulations only, it seems that specimen was the first experiment with the Omega Pirate design.

The Space Pirates constructed an especially large Cryosleep Tank to house their creation in the Elite Quarters and stationed it beneath an unusual Phazon formation, around which they erected a series of catwalks. Phazon bubbles up from a pool under the tank, perhaps coming in direct contact with the subject and acting as a source of sustenance.

Battle[edit | edit source]

When Samus approaches the stasis tank in the Elite Quarters, the Omega Pirate awakens and shatters its stasis pod. To defeat it, Samus must destroy the Phazon plates on its knees and shoulders, which weakens it to the point of collapse. When weakened, the Omega Pirate summons reinforcements while it engages the Chameleon Manta technology, rendering it invisible as it attempts to heal.

Eventually the Omega Pirate will appear in one of three veins of Phazon in the chamber to regenerate the plates, and it is completely vulnerable during this time. To combat the cloaking technology, however, Samus must use the X-Ray Visor to target it. After causing sufficient damage to it, the Omega Pirate will disappear again and reappear at another vein of Phazon. If Samus damages it enough before it has finished regenerating, it will call for more reinforcements. Otherwise, it will disengage the cloak and return to combat with a renewed set of Phazon plates, and the cycle repeats.

Once defeated, it will collapse directly on top of Samus before disintegrating. The Phazon inside the Omega Pirate corrupts Samus's suit, resulting in the Phazon Suit and endowing Phazon Beam capabilities.
