'''Tallon IV''' | '''Tallon IV''' was a biological paradise colonized by the [[Chozo]] prior to the impact of a [[Leviathan]] from [[Phaaze]]. What remains of the planet's once rich biosphere began slowly fading due to exposure to [[Phazon]] radiation. The ecosystem would eventually have been completely obliterated by the radiation. When she arrived on the planet, [[Samus Aran]] estimated that in approximately 25 years the contamination would turn Tallon IV into a barren [[Planetary Classifications#Class XIII|Class XIII]] wasteland. | ||
The planet | The events of [[Metroid Prime (game)|Metroid Prime]] take place entirely on Tallon IV, with the exception of Aran's raid of the planet's orbiting [[Space Pirate]] [[Space Pirate Frigate Orpheon|Frigate]] at the beginning of the game. | ||
The planet is in the same system with Oormine II, Twin Tabula, Bilium, and [[Zebes]], and has a mass of 5.1 trillion teratons. | |||

The Chozo that colonized Tallon IV made a conscious choice to eschew a civilization of advanced technology and build their colony out of unprocessed natural materials, so that it would be harmonious with its surroundings.<ref>{{Cite|The history of the Chozo stretches back into ancient times, so far into the fog of the past that we know not where our ancestors came from. One thing is clear, however: the Chozo who colonized Tallon IV made a conscious choice to eschew a civilization of advanced technology. They chose to live in harmony with nature, guided by the providence of the universe. As this city grows, we plan to honor them with written tributes, carvings etched in stone to remind us always of their legacy.|Chozo Lore "Beginnings" - PAL version|Metroid Prime}}</ref> The Chozo believed that through harmonious coexistence with their surroundings, and ultimately with the universe, they would gain a better understanding of their existence and the nature of the universe. They also claim that as they grew more connected with the universe, they gained the power to see into the future. | |||
The [[Chozo Lore]] left behind by the Chozo tells of premonitions of a great disaster in the form of a worm. It may have been a misinterpreted vision of the coming of the Leviathan or [[Metroid Prime (specimen)|Metroid Prime]]. In the PAL version of the game, the lore contains speculation about the nature of the Leviathan. Some texts consider the possibility that it was crafted by alien hands or that it was in fact a part of a planet. The Chozo go as far as suggesting that somewhere in the universe there may be or may have been a planet covered in Phazon. [[Phaaze]] is that planet, although it wasn't revealed until in ''[[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]]''. | The [[Chozo Lore]] left behind by the Chozo tells of premonitions of a great disaster in the form of a worm.
