'''Samus Aran''' is an intergalactic [[Bounty Hunter]] and the main protagonist of the ''[[Metroid (series)|Metroid]]'' series. Her first appearance was in the original ''[[Metroid (game)|Metroid]]'', released in 1986. Her birth planet is [[K-2L]], an earth colony. Samus Aran is a bounty hunter of prestige fame, often employed by the [[Galactic Federation]]. Samus's history is somewhat mysterious and is often left with wide gaps. Her past is best described in the [[Metroid Manga]], although [[Nintendo]] has never directly confirmed whether the manga is canon or non-canon; some images from the Manga appear in the Japanese ''[[Metroid: Zero Mission]]'' Gallery. Other than the Metroid Manga, primary sources for her history are ''[[Metroid Fusion]]'' | '''Samus Aran''' is an intergalactic [[Bounty Hunter]] and the main protagonist of the ''[[Metroid (series)|Metroid]]'' series.

Before she reaches the Control Room, Samus is confronted by the SA-X. She manages to reduce it to its base X form, though it flees before she can absorb it. She reaches the docking bay, only to find her ship missing and an [[Omega Metroid]] waiting in its place. It attacks her, leaving her at the brink of death. Before it can kill her, however, the SA-X appears, assumes its Samus form, and attacks the Omega Metroid with its Ice Beam. The Omega Metroid damages it and permanently reduces it to its base form. Samus absorbs the SA-X, regains the Ice Beam, and brutally assaults the Omega Metroid with shots to its chest. It dies, Samus's ship returns, and she escapes the station just before it collides with SR388, obliterating both. | Before she reaches the Control Room, Samus is confronted by the SA-X.
