'''Elite Pirates''' are [[Space Pirate]]s that have had [[Phazon]] infused into their DNA as part of a Space Pirate program called [[Project Helix]].<ref>{{cite|Confidence is high regarding Phazon applications.

Preliminary studies indicate that Phazon infusion could produce radical new Pirate genomes. Benevolent mutation levels are high in current test subjects.

Elite Pirates attack by using Wave Quake Generators to create shock waves that spread out in a sizable radius and by siphoning the energy from beam weapons to fuel the plasma cannons kept on their shoulders. | Elite Pirates attack by using Wave Quake Generators to create shock waves that spread out in a sizable radius and by siphoning the energy from beam weapons to fuel the plasma cannons kept on their shoulders. | ||
After Samus enters Elite Control, the exits will become blocked with shields. The first Elite Pirate will break out of its stasis pod and attack. While dodging its shock waves Samus may use her [[Thermal Visor]] to target its plasma cannon allowing her to destroy it. This enables her to stay outside of the range of all of its attacks. | ===Specimens=== | ||

A second Elite Pirate is fought in the [[Omega Research]] shortly after Samus collects the [[Power Bomb]]s. A third Elite, this one without a plasma cannon, attacks in the [[Dynamo Access]] shortly after Samus returns to the Phazon Mines after collecting several upgrades. | A second Elite Pirate is fought in the [[Omega Research]] shortly after Samus collects the [[Power Bomb]]s. | ||
A third Elite, this one without a plasma cannon, attacks in the [[Dynamo Access]] shortly after Samus returns to the Phazon Mines after collecting several upgrades. Its stasis tank is laced with Phazon, unlike the others, and its face has a distinct red color, further distinguishing it. | |||
