Elite Pirates are Phazon-enhanced Space Pirates. They are incredibly strong, armored, and well-armed. They are very potent foes, having a powerful Wave Quake Generator to produce shockwaves, bayonets in their wrists, and an energy siphon system that absorbs beam shots. The shots are then used to fuel their massive Plasma Artillery Cannon. Due to this system, they are vulnerable to concussive weapons. The Plasma Cannon is particularly vulnerable and can be targeted separately by switching to the Thermal Visor. They are very effective at both close combat and at long range. However, their immense size can be a weakness, along with their sluggish speeds, allowing their opponents to easily evade their attacks.

| - Elite Pirates are potent foes. Their energy-siphon system absorbs Beam weapons shots, which they use to fuel a massive Plasma Artillery Cannon. The nature of this system makes them vulnerable to concussion-based weapons. Well armed, the Elite Pirate is effective in close combat and at a distance. Their massive size can be a weakness, and their sluggish speed allows for evasion and quick attacks.

| - Elite Pirates are Phazon-enhanced Space Pirates. They are incredibly strong, armored, and well-armed. They are very potent foes, having a powerful Wave Quake Generator to produce shockwaves, bayonets in their wrists, and an energy siphon system that absorbs beam shots. The shots are then used to fuel their massive Plasma Artillery Cannon. Due to this system, they are vulnerable to concussive weapons. The Plasma Cannon is particularly vulnerable and can be targeted separately by switching to the Thermal Visor. They are very effective at both close combat and at long range. However, their immense size can be a weakness, along with their sluggish speeds, allowing their opponents to easily evade their attacks. Samus encounters three Elite Pirates in the Phazon Mines on Tallon IV. They live in Cryosleep Tanks due to their short lifespans. They are part of Project Helix, a program where Space Pirate embryos are infused with Phazon. Initial results were horrific; most died, and the few that survived their infanthood suffered severe psychotic breakdowns as juveniles, killing anything within their zone of perception. However, the Space Pirates saw how powerful a force of Phazon Elites would be, and hoped that one day they would make an army composed of them. It is unknown whether the Elite Pirates volunteered for their enhancements, were in some way coerced, or if the exact method of recruitment varied from Pirate to Pirate. When Samus encounters them, they break out of their stasis tanks and immediately engage in combat. Their energy siphon systems prevent them from being damaged while the shield is out. The Space Pirates also created a Phazon Elite, a Space Pirate infused with energized Phazon, and the Omega Pirate, a very powerful Elite Pirate. Elite Pirates are found in Elite Research, Elite Control, Omega Research, Quarantine Access A, Metroid Quarantine A and Dynamo Access. After continued Phazon research it is believed that the Elites were replaced by the more advanced Berserker Knights and Berserker Lords.
