Pirate Militia: Difference between revisions

|habitats=[[Space Pirate Homeworld]]

'''Space Pirate Militia''' are basic, expendable units of the [[Space Pirate|Space Pirate Organization]]. They were first commissioned around the events of ''[[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]]'', before the [[Leviathan]] impact on the [[Space Pirate Homeworld]] and the Pirates' takeover by [[Dark Samus]]. Pirate Militia are based off of slaves and criminals from the Pirate Homeworld and are forced to participate in battle. Being among the lowest of the Space Pirate caste system, they obey their superiors with ease, and in return, gain survival and trust. If any disloyalty is sensed by a member of a higher Pirate rank, the Militia will either be killed or consumed by the other Pirates. The Militia are not equipped with [[Phazon Enhancement Device Suit|Phazon Enhancement Devices]] like their superiors, however they have the ability to enter [[Hypermode]]. This is most likely caused by the initial [[Phazon]] takeover of the [[Space Pirate|Space Pirates]]. Pirate Militia are equipped with a weaker [[Arm Cannon]] than regular [[Pirate Trooper|Pirate Troopers]], but carry a retractable Scythe that is very similar to the higher-ranked Pirates. When battled by [[Samus Aran]], a [[Charge Beam|charged shot]] from the [[Power Beam]] or a [[Missile]] will easily kill a lightly-armored member of the Militia.
