| This article is about the species and organization of Space Pirates. For the standard Space Pirate infantry unit, see Pirate Trooper. |
Space Pirates are a species of warring bipedal organisms found throughout the Metroid series. They have been present in galactic affairs since as far back as the formation of the Galactic Federation.
Background
Space Pirates are notorious for their use of unyielding force and merciless tactics, in combat or otherwise. Since the foundation of the Galactic Federation, the Space Pirates have, more or less, existed in complete and all out war with their opposition, the Galactic Federation, most notably by the hands of the Federation-employed bounty hunter, Samus Aran. As for military prowess, the Pirates are unmatched in strength, numbers, and ability.
Technology
Space Pirates are surprisingly intelligent, but they usually use altered, stolen technology. In the Prime series, a Space Pirate usually has a Plasma Rifle and a Scythe. The higher the rank, the more numerous and powerful weapons they wield. Other known Space Pirate weapons are a altered version of the Wave Beam, Power Beam, Ice Beam, and the Plasma Beam. Some Space Pirates also have a Missile Launcher, Jetpack, and different versions of Armor. In the 2D games, Space Pirates usually have armor, and some sort of twin lasers that shoot out of their claw-like appendages.
Trophy Info
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
- Space Pirate:
- An enemy of Samus. They land on Tallon IV and use the energy they find there—called Phazon—for brutal experiments on the planet's life-forms. Samus makes for Tallon IV to destroy the experiment facilities. In Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, the pirates go to Aether to find Phazon. A war is being waged there, and a race of dark beasts, the Ing, make research difficult.
Notable Members
