After the Federation is created to maintain the galaxy, the Space Pirates interfere and create war with the Federation, seeing them as a threat to their power. The Federation was unsuccessful in many battles with the Pirates. Years later, the Federation discovered the Metroid organism, which would be a threat to the galaxy after close examination. The Pirates heard of this and stole the Metroid in an attempt to make it a biological weapon. They created their base in Planet Zebeth (later known as Zebes), a planet which was extremely difficult to navigate in. The Federation failed in an attempt to raid Zebes so they came up with a new plan. Find the most powerful Space Hunters to infiltrate Zebes, destroy the Metroid, and defeat the mechanical life-form that controlled Zebes, Mother Brain. That Hunter was Samus Aran and this is where the story begins…
