'''Phaaze''' is a planet that appears in ''[[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]]''. It is a sentient planet composed of [[Phazon]], and the origin of all Phazon.

For an unknown length of time, Phaaze had been creating [[Leviathan|Leviathan seeds]], massive organisms that could withstand the environment in outer space, and had the ability to generate artificial wormholes. These would travel to distant planets and impact their surfaces. There they would begin to generate Phazon, destroying the planet's natural ecosystem and replacing it with one based on Phazon. If allowed to progress to completion, the final result of this process would be another sentient planet, like Phaaze. [[Tallon IV]], [[Aether]], The [[Space Pirate Homeworld]], [[Elysia]] and [[Bryyo]] were planets impacted by leviathans.

Phaaze is first discovered by the [[Chozo]] living on Elysia. They are unable to study it in depth before leaving that planet, and task the [[Elysian]] with further research into Phaaze.

[[File:Dark Samus Is Reborn.png|thumb|left|Dark Samus reemerges from the Phazon tanks.]]After her defeat on [[Aether]], [[Dark Samus]] is reduced to raw Phazon. In this state, she is collected by the [[Space Pirate]]s in their attempts to recover as much Phazon as possible from the planet. Because the pirates store her with a large quantity of Phazon, Dark Samus is able to recreate her physical body en route to the Space Pirate Homeworld. Upon arrival, she is able to corrupt a number of Space Pirates, escaping with them to Phaaze.

Dark Samus then stages an attack on the [[G.F.S. Valhalla]], a [[Galactic Federation]] [[Spacecraft Classifications|Olympus-Class Battleship]] that is being used for training. Because a majority of the crew on board are ill prepared to repulse this attack, the Space Pirates successfully take over the ship. They extract its central computer, [[Aurora Unit 313]]. Returning to Phaaze, they are able to implant the Aurora Unit into the planet, gaining control over its biological functions.

At the control room, they are confronted by Dark Samus, who, using an unknown weapon, disables all four hunters. Thinking her work done, Dark Samus leaves to escape the impact. However, Samus manages to activate the energy cannon before falling unconscious.

After destroying the seeds that are corrupting Bryyo, Elysia, and the Space Pirate Homeworld, Samus is informed that their origin had been discovered. Phaaze was located by [[Aurora Unit 217]], who had triangulated its location based on the trajectories of the Leviathan attacks. Because it is extremely remote, it is not possible to reach Phaaze using conventional space travel. Therefore, Samus is forced to take control of the [[Space Pirate]]s' [[Leviathan Battleship]], using its ability to generate wormholes to reach Phaaze.

Upon her arrival at Phaaze, the atmospheric Phazon begins to overwhelm Samus. To prevent her own death, Samus vents all the Phazon in her suit. While this protects Samus from the environment, it causes her to enter [[Hypermode]] permanently. Additionally, as the Phazon in the atmosphere slowly fills her energy tanks, Samus becomes more corrupted. She is unable to reverse this corruption by firing her weapons as she previously could. She now collects units of [[Anti-Phazon]] to reduce her corruption level, as opposed to earlier Phazon units. She can also use the [[Hyper Grapple]] to vent excess Phazon into certain creatures, killing them.
