'''Plasma Troopers''' are [[Space Pirate|Space Pirates]] featured in [[Metroid Prime (game)|Metroid Prime]]. Unlike standard Pirates, Plasma Troopers are equipped with a weaker variant version of the [[Plasma Beam]] that was reverse engineered to use against [[Samus Aran|Samus]] along with the [[Power Beam]], [[Wave Beam]], and [[Ice Beam]].<ref>{{cite|Science Team is attempting to reverse-engineer Samus Aran's arsenal, based off data acquired from here assaults on our forces. Progress is slow, but steady. Command would dearly enjoy turning Aran's weapons against her. We believe we can implement Beam weapon prototypes in three cycles. Aran's Power Suit technology remains a mystery, especially the curious Morph Ball function.
