	Near the end of the [[Great Crusade]], the Luna Wolves pacified a planet catalogued as 63-19, known to its inhabitants as Terra. In the final stages of compliance, a Luna Wolves speartip went into the Whisperhead Mountains to eliminate a rogue force loyal to the planet's slain emperor. During the descent, the drop ships picked up a transmission that appeared intended to scare them, a repeating whisper of ''"Samus. That's the only name you'll hear. Samus. It means the end and the death. Samus. I am Samus. Samus is all around you. Samus is the man beside you. Samus will gnaw on your bones. Look out! Samus is here."'' ~~The~~ Legionary Xayver Jubal succumbed to Samus's corruption and it possessed him, using him to attack the speartip. After a concerted effort, Garviel Loken killed the mutated Jubal and had his warped body destroyed. [[Horus]] ordered the suppression of the records of the encounter, especially Jubal's corruption, and denied that "Samus" was anything supernatural. {{BLAM\|Horus is a traitor to mankind, and any reports of the Adeptus Astartes succumbing to Chaos are clearly lies and propaganda. --Commissar Rosethorn}}		Near the end of the [[Great Crusade]], the Luna Wolves pacified a planet catalogued as 63-19, known to its inhabitants as Terra. In the final stages of compliance, a Luna Wolves speartip went into the Whisperhead Mountains to eliminate a rogue force loyal to the planet's slain emperor. During the descent, the drop ships picked up a transmission that appeared intended to scare them, a repeating whisper of the following:

			''"Samus. That's the only name you'll hear. Samus. It means the end and the death. Samus. I am Samus. Samus is all around you. Samus is the man beside you. Samus will gnaw on your bones. Look out! Samus is here."''

			Then the Legionary Xayver Jubal succumbed to Samus's corruption and it possessed him, using him to attack the speartip. After a concerted effort, Garviel Loken killed the mutated Jubal and had his warped body destroyed. [[Horus]] ordered the suppression of the records of the encounter, especially Jubal's corruption, and denied that "Samus" was anything supernatural. {{BLAM\|Horus is a traitor to mankind, and any reports of the Adeptus Astartes succumbing to Chaos are clearly lies and propaganda. --Commissar Rosethorn}}

	Samus becomes a recurring character in the ''Horus Heresy'' series. He is summoned by various traitor forces into various corpses at key battles like [[Battle of Calth\|Calth]] and the [[Siege of Terra]], and proceeds to die in every one of these appearances. Forge World gave him a model called "[https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-US/Samus-Daemon-Prince-of-the-Ruinstorm Samus, Daemon Prince of the Ruinstorm]." Apparently he is a daemon prince of the Ruinstorm and may have killed Dorn had the duel continued any longer. Though the only one to make that claim was Samus himself, so it's hard to take that boast seriously.		Samus becomes a recurring character in the ''Horus Heresy'' series.

	* ''Metroid: Samus Returns''. Revealed in the Nintendo Treehouse portion of E3 2017, The aforementioned Return of Samus remake is 3DS only-with new 2.5 D graphics and added content it is a full reimaging of the series' least played entree. Reviews are coming out pretty positive alongside of fan option so it looks like there may be hope yet that Nintendo as more then a passing interest in the series now. Just like the Prime sub series. Samus Returns was made by a Western Studio with minimal involvement from Sakamoto. This time by a studio in Spain. Reception of the game was much better than both Other M and Federation Force. Proving fan statements that "dark" in the current Japanese entertainment environment means pandering to Otakus with Waifu-bait. While those outside of a tiny island can properly portray a bad ass women from the future. With a very small handful of exceptions. It also introduces a rogue evil faction of Chozo, making them the Dark Mechanicus to the Chozos' Adeptus Mechanicus. Whether if something comes from this remains to be seen. Since Mercury Stream also made Dread this is more or less confirmed. It is also the first time Samus's primary rival Ridley is the final boss. With three phases. Hope you like his theme because you'll be listening to all three variants for a good while.		* ''Metroid: Samus Returns''.

	* ''Metroid Dread''. My god, after nearly 20 years the timeline advances! Nintendo pulled back the curtain on this title after briefly mentioning the continued yet clandestine development of Metroid Prime 4 at E3 2021, having been developed by the same studio that handled Metroid: Samus Returns. Its title also betrays that it's the original sequel planned for Fusion (though obviously altered from what it started out as due to the passage of time, both the series and the industry as a whole have grown and changed), released from over a decade and a half of development hell by Sakamoto getting MercurySteam to finally ~~realize~~ it. Set at an indeterminate time following Metroid Fusion, this entry seems to be doubling down on the survival segments Fusion had by having seven nigh-indestructible Federation robots named E.M.M.I.s relentlessly pursue Samus as she explores the environment. An E.M.M.I is completely impervious to all of Samus's weaponry and can instantly kill her if it manages to catch her, unless she manages one of the two borderline-unhittable counters to break their hold; to take them down, Samus has to find the Control AI (a kind of discount Mother Brain) and kill it, which temporarily powers up her arm cannon into the Omega Cannon. Metroid Dread is stated to be the last game of the story arc between Samus and the Metroids, chronologically at least. Samus investigates a planet suffering an outbreak of the X-Parasites which leads her to battle with an evil Chozo named Raven Beak who betrayed the other Chozo who created the Metroids, wanting to use them as weapons to conquer the galaxy. The Metroid DNA infused with Samus means she is in fact the last Metroid. Most shocking ~~off~~ all is that Samus actually talks in one scene in this game.		* ''Metroid Dread''.

The Metroid DNA infused with Samus means she is in fact the last Metroid. Most shocking of all is that Samus actually talks in one scene in this game.

			:Later updates added a one-hit death mode so you can have [[Rage\|fun times]] (or have your no-hit run enforced by the game), among other things. The smallest, most pathetic of enemies become just as deadly as an E.M.M.I. bot in this mode, so spatial awareness is a must. Around the same time as this was added the game defied the odds and won something at the notoriously Western IP-biased Game Awards, meaning Dread may have singlehandedly made Nintendo pay more attention to the black sheep of its big properties.

Samus investigates a planet suffering an outbreak of the X-Parasites which leads her to battle with an evil Chozo named Raven Beak who betrayed the other Chozo who created the Metroids, wanting to use them as weapons to conquer the galaxy. The Metroid DNA infused with Samus means she is in fact the last Metroid. Most shocking off all is that Samus actually talks in one scene in this game.

	** Was given two remakes. The first was the fanmade ''Another Metroid 2 Remake'' (AM2R) which is amazing in every way. Too bad Nintendo brought the hammer down a day or two after it was released, but its on the internet now, ha ha ha. Got an ''official'' remake not long after in the form of ''Metroid: Samus Returns'' (below) for the 3DS, which probably explains why Nintendo came down so hard on AM2R.		** Was given two remakes.

	* ''Super Metroid'', released in '94. This one is easily the best and most influential of the bunch. The reasons why it's awesome are too long to list here, so let's just say it's [[Awesome\|really fucking badass]] and leave it at that. It's notable for formally introducing the notion of "sequence breaking", where the ostensibly linear game is only made so through the implementation of obstacles that can, with practice, be surmounted prematurely. This is very much by design; the game even features tutorials to teach you some basic sequence breaking techniques (the wall jump and the super jump/shinespark), neither of which is required to complete the game.		* ''Super Metroid'', released in '94.

	* ''Metroid Fusion'', released in '02. This one is a lot [[Tl;dr\|wordier]] than previous games, [[Railroading\|and also a lot more linear]], sort of running in the face of the "free-form exploration platformer" design principles the series had demonstrated up to that point. [[Skub\|This, naturally, caused flame wars]], though it speaks volumes for the series as a whole that you can ''still'' get genuinely lost while searching for hidden powerups. It was the latest chronologically in the timeline for 15 fucking years until Dread was finally brought out of development hell.

[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXqyCamxx-Q\| A very good game, all said an done, look at it.]],
	* [[Monty Python\|And now for something completely different]]: ''Metroid Prime'' and its sequels. These games keep the exploration premise, but change the skin from that of an action platformer to a first-person-shooter. These were actually made by American developers, which makes sense, given Japan's general distaste for the camera angle - and Metroid was never particularly popular in Japan anyway, which is why Nintendo was more willing to let someone else handle it, which is something they very rarely do with their big franchises. They were generally pretty well-liked in the West, but not so much in Japan. While nowhere near as linear as Fusion, the Prime Trilogy is quite a bit stricter than most Metroid games in terms of exploration. The devs even removed exploits in updated versions to remove sequence breaking opportunities. One thing that is inarguable is that the Metroid Prime trilogy has some of the best music ever composed for video games. The soundtrack is incredibly unique, with very little else like it in video game history, and is one of the only soundtracks that can pull off unironic/100% serious Theremin usage and make it sound amazing. Rock/Metal, Industrial, Electronica, Chiptunes, and Orchestral music are everywhere in games, but the trilogy's soundtrack not only stands out with uniqueness, it's just really beautiful and its great for setting the atmosphere for your games.		* [[Monty Python\|And now for something completely different]]: ''Metroid Prime'' and its sequels.

	** ''Metroid Prime 1'': Plays a lot like ''Super Metroid'' in 3D, right down to having the intro be on a spaceship that explodes followed by running around Pirate-infested Chozo ruins. Introduces Phazon, a living poison that mutates people, and the titular Prime Metroid is the final boss.		** ''Metroid Prime 1'': Plays a lot like ''Super Metroid'' in 3D, right down to having the intro be on a spaceship that explodes followed by running around Pirate-infested Chozo ruins.

	===Allies===		===Allies===
	'''Galactic Federation''': Basically the UN in SPESS, the Federation is a relatively benevolent government that governs over its subject worlds in a relatively fair and just manner. Samus often works for or with Federation forces in dealing with Space Pirate incursions and other potential threats to galactic peace. In more recent times however, a darker side seems to be more and more prevalent, with not just one, but two attempts to breed and weaponize Metroids (after they ordered them to be wiped out, mind you) as well as the intention to do the same with the X Parasites. This last endeavor was thwarted by Samus. ~~Evidently, they forgave this transgression and/or are willing to overlook it to retain~~ her ~~services~~, ~~as they still employ her to investigate ZDR regarding a potential X-Parasite sighting~~.		'''Galactic Federation''': Basically the UN in SPESS, (most of) the Federation is a relatively benevolent government that governs over its subject worlds in a relatively fair and just manner. However, it is noted to be extremely sectionalized, with different groups having different approaches to governance and military tactics. Samus often works for or with groups of Federation forces in dealing with Space Pirate incursions and other potential threats to galactic peace (including the very rare inter-service conflict). In more recent times however, a darker side seems to be more and more prevalent, with not just one, but two attempts to breed and weaponize Metroids (after they ordered them to be wiped out, mind you) as well as the intention to do the same with the X Parasites. This last endeavor was thwarted by Samus. This has made her an enemy of one particular subsection of the Federation (which is officially unnamed, but has been given the nickname. see below)

	*'''The "Ringleaders"''': A collection of military and ex-military bureaucrats, ~~these~~ war hawks are the ones trying to clone Metroids and later X Parasites for use as bioweapons. Due to a botched translation job, the English version of Other M doesn't make it clear they are a distinct political party in the Federation, and the English version of Fusion leaves them out entirely. In the Japanese Other M they are politically defeated, turning the Federation as a whole back into Samus's allies and employers once more.		*'''The "Ringleaders"''': A collection of military and ex-military bureaucrats, amoral scientists, and war profiteers. this particular group of war hawks are the ones trying to clone Metroids and later X Parasites for use as bioweapons. Due to a botched translation job, the English version of Other M doesn't make it clear they are a distinct political party in the Federation, and the English version of Fusion leaves them out entirely. In the Japanese Other M they are politically defeated, turning the Federation as a whole back into Samus's allies and employers once more. Though apparently, some still remain, time will tell if they become antagonists in the future game.(Metroid gear solid.)

	*'''Adam (Ship AI)''': The first NPC introduced in a Metroid game, heck the first interactable character other than Samus at all at the time, the AI came with the ship the Federation gave Samus after she survived getting space AIDS as part of the deal. Acts like every other stereotypical AI command center in gaming with a go here, kill this, fix that type deal it till Samus decides to go suicide run the BSL station when she finds out about the hidden program they had running there. After calling out her stupidity and hearing her rant about Adam it apparently uploaded his memories and personality then proposes a better solution and repeats his catchphrase to convince Samus it was him. Whether he was uploaded when she got the ship or the AI uploaded the personality on the fly is unknown. As of Metroid Dread, he is still serves as Samus' mission advisor.		*'''Adam (Ship AI)''': The first NPC introduced in a Metroid game, heck the first interactable character other than Samus at all at the time, the AI came with the ship the Federation gave Samus after she survived getting space AIDS as part of the deal.

	*'''Adam Malkovich (Human)''': Currently the only relevant GF character, Adam Malkovich served as a commander for GF forces and often as Samus' commanding officer during joint missions together. His relationship with Samus was [[skub \| intended to be like that of a surrogate father-figure, though the main source material he's involved tends to cause a lot of debate regarding how well that was portrayed]]. He's also an alleged military genius, though between forcing Samus to shut down most of her gear, splitting up his team (who all together couldn't handle the threats they were fighting initially, much less divided) and [[wat \| freezing Samus with an ice beam right in front of a live Metroid]] [[Derp \| despite admitting that he didn't know if cold weapons even worked on them]], this also is a hotly debated claim. He later sacrificed himself to blow up said Metroids, though a copy of his personality was uploaded as an AI that acted as a liaison between Samus and the Federation while she was aboard the BSL.		*'''Adam Malkovich (Human)''': Currently the only relevant GF character, Adam Malkovich served as a commander for GF forces and often as Samus' commanding officer during joint missions together.

He later sacrificed himself to blow up said Metroids, though a copy of his personality was uploaded as an AI that acted as a liaison between Samus and the Federation while she was aboard the BSL. (a running theory is that he faked his own death, and that he is in fact sylux)

	'''Chozo''': Samus' foster parents aren't really around anymore, but they were [[Tau \| originally a militant warrior people who prided in scientific progression and enlightening the lesser races]]. However, as they mellowed out in their old age, many of them sought to explore their more spiritual aspects, with many [[Exodite \| forsaking their technology to live in harmony with the natural world]]. The Thoha, one of the major Chozo tribes, were such a group. Between dying out from old age, getting slaughtered by Space Pirates/Ridley, getting nuked by Meteors filled with Phazon and generally fucking off to parts unknown, their ruins and technology are currently the only known remnants of their civilization.

A far more militant group are known as the mawkin Who decided to stick with the militant warrior traditions, and were led by a psychotic tyrant with galactic domination ambitions. (as usual Samus ended him)
	*'''Grey Voice''': One of the only two named Chozo, Grey Voice was a curmudgeon who initially objected to adopting Samus before relenting with the knowledge that she literally had nowhere and no one else to go to. To help her adapt to Zebes, it was Grey Voice's DNA that was used to genetically enhance Samus into what she is today. While he feigned servitude to Ridley and Mother Brain to avoid getting his people wiped out, he eventually dusted off his old power armor and tried to kill the two of them despite having been genetically engineered to be incapable of violent acts. Ultimately Ridley slaughtered him and most of the remaining Chozo in response.		*'''Grey Voice''': One of the only two named Chozo, Grey Voice was a curmudgeon who initially objected to adopting Samus before relenting with the knowledge that she literally had nowhere and no one else to go to.

Ultimately Ridley slaughtered him and most of the remaining Chozo in response. Is highly likely to be a thoha.
	*'''Old Bird''': The other named Chozo, Old Bird was friendlier than Grey Voice and actually played with toddler Samus a little bit before the Space Pirates raided her colony. He also tried to teach her the lesson that just because someone looks different, you can always find good in them and become friends in the end. [[not as planned \| Suffice to say, this advice backfired spectacularly when 3-year old Samus told Ridley this and he responded by incinerating her mother]]. When they returned to investigate the carnage, Old Bird was the one who found her amidst the ruins and basically strong armed Grey Voice into adopting her. After the events on Zebes that decimated the Chozo population and killed Grey Voice, Old Bird led the precious few Chozo who survived into hiding, leaving their ultimate fate unknown.		*'''Old Bird''': The other named Chozo, Old Bird was friendlier than Grey Voice and actually played with toddler Samus a little bit before the Space Pirates raided her colony.

	*'''Quiet Robe''': The first living, breathing, unmasked Chozo to ever be portrayed in the flesh in a Metroid game. Quiet Robe rescued Samus from the clutches of an E.M.M.I. during her mission on ZDR and informed her as to the identity of her true enemy on the planet, Raven Beak. Quiet Robe revealed to Samus that the Thoha Tribe, to which he was the sole survivor of, were the Chozo who were responsible for the creation of the Metroids and the only ones with the genetic code capable of controlling them. After informing Samus of what the E.M.M.I were programmed to steal, Quiet Robe was assassinated by a robotic Chozo Warrior. Later, his body was infected and controlled by an X-Parasite who used his knowledge to re-activate all the remaining E.M.M.I and send them after Samus.		*'''Quiet Robe''': The first living, breathing, unmasked Chozo to ever be portrayed in the flesh in a Metroid game.

	'''Luminoth''': Giant bipedal moth people, the Luminoth are an elder race much like their Chozo buddies. Unlike the Chozo, the Luminoth are still around and kicking (if only barely. With only a few dozen of them left, they are all but extinct thanks to their war with the Ing). They are known to have met and collaborated with the Chozo on a few projects, as well as assisting the Galactic Federation with cleaning up residual Phazon on their planet, but they have not done much since.

They are known to have met and collaborated with the Chozo on a few projects, as well as assisting the Galactic Federation with cleaning up residual Phazon on their planet, but they have not done much since.
	*'''U-Mos''': The last sentinel of the Luminoth, U-Mos was charged with watching over the remainder of his race (who were in stasis at this point) and defending the final remnants of planetary energy remaining on the original Aether. While initially wary of Samus (and despite her initial distrust of him), his heartfelt pleas for her to save his people and planet, as well as the threat the Ing would possess should they escape to the galaxy at large/the universe as a whole (Metroid is inconsistent on whether it's intergalactic or not) gained Samus' cooperation. To aid in her one-woman war, he eventually gifted her the slick-as-hell Light Suit. Notably considered to be a pretty young man; especially for someone entrusted with the duties of chief guardian and head of state; by the standards of his species at 250 years of age though he mostly got the job because nearly everyone with more experience was dead by the time he was elected. Kind of like a twenty five year old ending up as head of the administratum or Captain General of the Custodes.		*'''U-Mos''': The last sentinel of the Luminoth, U-Mos was charged with watching over the remainder of his race (who were in stasis at this point) and defending the final remnants of planetary energy remaining on the original Aether.

	'''Alimbics''': Yet another elder race, the Alimbics were insectoid-like beings who, like the other elder races, had a thing for science and technologies of borderline magic. Originally from another galaxy altogether, the Alimbics engaged in some minor trading of tech with a variety of races such as the Chozo, Vhozon, Kriken, etc. Ultimately, a love-craftian horror named Gorea came to their civilization and began assimilating their race to grow stronger. The leaders of their race sacrificed themselves in a process to seal Gorea away in an alternate dimension. The fate of any remaining Alimbics (who weren't assimilated) isn't entirely clear, but they're presumed to be either extinct or in the same plane of existence their leaders went into upon sealing Gorea.

	'''Baby Metroid''': The last "natural" Metroid in existence, this infant Metroid hatched right in front of Samus just after she had slain the last Queen Metroid. It immediately imprinted on Samus, who couldn't bring herself to kill a defenseless baby. She quickly took it to a Galactic Federation research lab for safe keeping, only for Ridley to show up, kill everybody on the station and steal the metroid. Samus eventually found the Metroid on Zebes, who had grown to massive proportions of its original size and nearly killed her before recognizing her as her "mother". It slinked off in shame before intervening in Samus' fight against Mother Brain, draining the later's energy and feeding it to Samus. Turns out MB didn't really appreciate this, and so she killed the Metroid before it could attack again. This would have been the end of the story if not for the fact that the Federation would later use what genetic samples they had of this metroid to later save it's mother's life from that X infection.
