The frigates from Zebes had scattered, moving what remaining Metroids there were to safe havens. One of the primary frigates was Orpheon, which contained several batches of Metroids and a recovering Ridley, who was being transplanted into a robotic exoskeleton. They arrived on the abandoned Chozo world of Tallon IV, hoping to resupply on their way back to Urtraghus. The pirates were first ambushed by strange apparitions known as Chozo Ghosts before discovering a ruin built around a large crater, which seemed to contain a powerful liquid-like ore. This ore was [[Phazon]], and was taken back to the frigate to be experimented on.

			The ore, the pirates discovered, was a very powerful mutagen able to strengthen various creatures if used correctly. Initial tests were failure and resulted in insanity, increased aggression, brain tissue deterioration, and, eventually, death. Undeterred, the Space Pirates contacted Urtraghus with their discovery and set up a base on the surface. The first successful tests were on the planets local insect parasites, which grew to a massive size with increased physical and mental characteristics. These were known as Parasite Queens, and from their corpses a weaker Phazon was extracted that allowed for use on Space Pirates. Project Helix began, which was the mutation of Space Pirates. Despite the many failures, a team of Elite Pirates came from this program, including the highly mutated Omega Pirate.

			Tests also began on the Metroids in the ship's stock. These produced strains known as Hunter Metroids, which had higher energy absorbing capability but lost their immunity to most weapons. The team also began using Chozo technology from the ruins to replicate Samus Aran's weapons and arsenal. Some success was given, creating the Power, Wave, Ice, and Plasma Pirate divisions. A large creature was discovered in the core of the Chozo Ruin around the impact crater that leaked Phazon, and the Space Pirates attempted to break in through the walls of the ruin to reach it, but with little success. Accidental spilling of Phazon lead to the animation of a rock creature known as Thardus, which was quickly contained.

			All was going well until a Parasite Queen got loose on the Orpheon and broke through most of the systems. Lab experiments began to run rampant and overcame the pirate crew. Part of the team evacuated to the surface, and an SOS was sent out to Urtraghus. However the signal was intercepted by the Galactic Federation, who sent Samus in to investigate. Samus arrived and destroyed the Orpheon, accidentally releasing Ridley in the process. She then pursued him to the surface of the planet, and investigated the Pirate operation there. Upon discovering Phazon, she sought to destroy the substance.

			Samus destroyed all of the Space Pirate's Elite Pirate corps, and recovered the keys left by the Chozo to the Impact Crater. Ridley attempted to intercept her, but failed. Samus entered the primary crater, which was revealed to be a Leviathan Seed with a Metroid-based Guardian known as [[Metroid Prime]].

The destruction of the guardian, who had absorbed the Phazon core, caused the crater to collapse and the Phazon on the planet to quickly die off.

	===The Metroid Crisis===		===The Metroid Crisis===

			After the first Zebes invasion, the Space Pirates reformed at Urtraghus. Space Pirate Central Command was reformed, with Mother Brain now the driving intelligence behind the Space Pirates, and Ridley and Kraid (a highly mutated Space Pirate) as lieutenants. The Space Pirates now focused on finding a weapon that could give them an edge against the Federation, with seventeen Frigate Fleets now being formed with the express purpose of uncovering some new form of superweapon.

			This did not take long, as Frigate Spiral intercepted a Federation dispatch regarding the recently scouted planet [[SR388]]. On the surface 80% of recorded biological life had been reduced to a stone-like state, the cause being a jellyfish-like species of creature known as the [[Metroid\|Metroids]]. These creatures were resistant to nearly all known forms of weaponry, could absorb energy from whatever it latched onto, and multiplied in a manner very similar to cellular reproduction when exposed to beta waves. Mother Brain ordered that these creatures be taken and researched for their utilities as a bioweapon and the possibility of splicing their genetic stock with that of the Space Pirate forces.

			Mother Brain moved ordered an attack on the research team's vessel, which had taken a Metroid in suspended animation. This attack was a success. In order to prevent chase by the Federation, Mother Brain and Kraid took the Metroid to Zebes with a very small research team. The purpose of this was twofold: Mother Brain hoped the Federation would not suspect that the Space Pirates would operate out of the planet they were forced out of, and she had hoped that the Chozo databanks would uncover more information on the Metroids. More information was, but it was never shared outside of Mother Brain. Cloning had begun on the Metroids, and by 1998 there were ten Metroid bioforms on Zebes.

			From here there was a three-way attack on the Federation done by the Space Pirates, hitting three human colonies with a single Metroid. All colonies were raided and destroyed with no pirate casualties. The Space pirates then sent a Mimic (a creature able to imitate the forms of others) to assassinate Chairman Keaton, who had recently been elected to his post. This was foiled by Samus Aran, who linked the attack to the Space Pirates and discovered they had operated out of Zebes. The Federation Police launched a land invasion of the planet, but were repelled by the bioengineered wildlife.

			The Police Force then hired Samus Aran to infiltrate Zebes. In response Mother Brain sent a distress signal to Urtraghus, which Ridley and a Pirate force responded to. Kraid was first killed by Samus, though part of his remains were recovered in the aftermath. Ridley then faced Samus, but was too repelled. Samus then raided the lair of Mother Brain, killing all planetbound Metroids on the way. Here she discovered that they had a strong weakness to extreme cold, something the Space Pirates would try to engineer out. Mother Brain's body was destroyed, but not before she attempted to activate the self-destruct sequence for the top layer of Zebes. Samus escaped, but was shot down by the Space Pirate Mothership that Ridley had arrived in. She then infiltrated the ship, destroying it and the Pirates inside.

			A force was sent to Zebes soon afterwords, which recovered Ridley, barely alive after her encounter, as well as several surviving Space Pirates, most famously the future bounty hunter [[Weavel]]. Kraid's remains were also recovered. Mother Brain had set up a backup for her consciousness deep in a Chozo supercomputer deep inside the planet, but was forced to remain dormant and assumed dead by the Space Pirates.

			==History==

			==Beginnings===

			The core Space Pirate species evolved on the world of Urtraghus, a harsh wasteland constantly bombarded with acid rain. In the early years, the Space Pirates were immune to the acid rain and grew strong armored husks that prevented them from harm, though much of the husk has vanished with time. Space Pirates were very militant and scientifically curious, going from baseline to space travel in little less than 450 years.

			Space Pirates met the Salanos Galaxy with hostility, using their technological superiority to plunder the weaker civilizations of the nearby systems. Meanwhile, they continued to evolve themselves using their limited knowledge of genetics. Many of these tests resulted in grotesque mutations of the Pirates involved, but many more resulted in advanced organic weapons, improved physical shape and sharper mental power.

			These early years were a golden age for the Space Pirate civilization. At this point they had supremacy over a galaxy and a small empire at their command. Art began to flourish, with medical advances rapidly advancing. A small population boom on Urtraghus, which allowed them to settle on outer systems.

			Later the Galactic Federation would explore the Salanos Galaxy. At first the Space Pirates met them little resistance, but after forming alliances with the systems that were raided by the Space Pirates they mounted a defense in an attempt to drive them out of the galaxy. This attempt failed when the Federation sent a force to pacify all rebelling civilizations of the Salanos, the Space Pirates included.
