Sector 5 (ARC) is one of the six sectors onboard the B.S.L Research Station. It maintains an arctic climate and and is used for research on many creatures that reside in that environment. Some X Parasites make their way into this sector and are mutated by the cold, enabling them to freeze Samus on contact if she is without the Varia Suit. Sector 5 is also where Nightmare is kept.

At first, Samus is unable to enter the frigid areas of Sector 5 without taking damage due to the effects of the Metroid vaccine.[1] Once she acquires the Varia Suit in Sector 6, Samus is free to explore most of ARC. During her first visit, Samus acquires the Ice Missiles. On a later visit, she acquires the Power Bombs and has a brief encounter with the SA-X.

After Samus acquires the Plasma Beam, Adam discovers a massive amount of damage caused by Nightmare, who had become an X host.[2] Some parts had become flooded with water from Sector 4 (AQA)
