- They have since gone rogue, and now run wild in SkyTown.
- Vaporwings were created by the Steamlords as pets.
- They are named for the wake of energized gas they leave behind in flight.
- Data moved to Logbook for review.

- As the newest GF fighter, the Stiletto is used in the entire fleet, and replaces the outdated Cestus-class predecessor. Compared with the Cestus, Stilettos have twice the cargo capacity and armor strength, made possible by a revolutionary new propulsion system. Only the Fang-class, a superior fighter recently developed by the Space Pirates, can compete with the Stiletto.
- GFDF PS-023
- The Anhur-class is the perfect example of a warship, designed for control and defense of planetary systems. Ships of this class, added successively, will replace the obsolete Aries class as the primary troop transport of the Federation. The Anhur is faster and uses shield systems instead of the separate protective armor of the Aries type. The armament, however, is comparable to the older vessels. Some crews have complained about unreliable circuitry systems in the Anhur ships, but the GF Research and Development Division assures the Admiralty that these problems will be resolved soon.

- GFDF BB-202
- Only a few pirate clans have the means to produce a ship the size of the Marauder from their shipyards; in fact, most of them were overwhelmed with the construction, and fell into bankruptcy. Those clans that possess a Marauder can establish their dominance in the Pirate hierarchy. In addition to heavy armament and armor, this ship also features fighters which assist in operations. A more recent development makes the Marauder even more powerful; it now burns Phazon instead of Fuel Gel, and the entire weapon technology is based on Phazon. These improvements give the Marauder a serious advantage in combat, even against Olympus-class battleships.
- GFDF AN-001
- The first ship of its class, the Anhur, looks back on an illustrious career in the fleet of Federation. Her crew has transported Marines into 23 combat zones. Recently, the Anhur was sent to Aether to neutralize a Space Pirate base. Her sister ship, the Tyr, crashed on Aether due to atmospheric anomalies. This meant that Samus Aran was summoned, leading to the Aether Incident.
- GFDF ES-212
- GFDF TR-077
- The Aries-class is considered to be outdated, and is to be replaced fleet-wide with the Anhur class. Until then, the GF is still dependent on the so-called "Rams" to transport Marines into action. The stable, old ships have powerful armament and armor, which is why they are appreciated by the crew and Marines in combat. The pilots, who are often referred to as "Aries shepherds", are generally seen as slightly insane. After all, they regularly fly into dangerous combat areas, often even without an escort.
- Entry 07.004.8
- The situation seems dire. The Federation and its rabid beast Aran have turned Urtraghus into a flaming field of debris. Our troops were driven out, and there is no message from Mistress Gandrayda. We fear she shares the fate of her comrades... struck down by the hands of the hunter.
- However, secure bliptrans transmissions reveal worse. The Federation has taken possession of the flagship of our leader. They have the Leviathan. With its power, they can open a wormhole at any point in space... even the origin of all Phazon. Our spies tell us that they are preparing for the invasion. And yet we will not fear, for the great leader is with us!
- GFDF AU-313
- Before its abduction from the G.F.S Valhalla, Aurora Unit 313 was in service for twelve years. Available data indicates that the unit is out of order, and was possibly involved in the corruption of the Aurora network.

- The Fangs represent the best fighters of the pirate fleet. Only recently, they were retrofitted to use a Phazon supply. Conventional weapon systems were replaced with Phazon cannons, and missiles were replaced with Phazon warheads. It has high speed and agility in combat, as well as stronger attacks. Only the Stiletto-class fighters of the Federation can match it in battle. A squadron of Fangs can put ships of all sizes out of combat. Fortunately, the pirates have only a few of these superior fighters.
- GFDF FT-029
- The fury of our leader is great. Many disciples have experienced her wrath since Urtraghus fell. However, despite our defeat, her confidence is unbroken. Soon the next phase of her campaign shall take effect against the Federation.

- The collected data suggests that the "Phazon Seed" is an organism, a living container for a Phazon core. The entity is capable of interstellar travel by creating wormholes. It approaches its target planet instinctively. After the impact the lifeform perishes. The armored hull is left to protect the Phazon core. Yet, before that, the organism will often attract predators of the local ecosystem and entrance them. Compelled by this mutation through massive Phazon radiation, they defend the core. The core itself oozes into the planet and finally replaces the local ecosystem with a Phazon-based one.
- The Aurora has performed the last calculations. Our leader is ready to strike. Soon, Phaaze will sow a large number of Phazon Seeds. They will feel hundreds of Federation worlds. This blow may be the end of Phaaze, but our leader is without worry. For hundreds of live Phazon worlds will replace it.
- Phaaze is an organism of gigantic proportions, which consists entirely of Phazon. Phaaze orbits a small star 361 lightyears away from Federation space. Intelligence suggests that Phaaze itself is intelligent to a degree; the so-called "Phazon Seeds" are created and fired by it as part of its reproductive cycle. Many life forms are located on Phaaze, including several species of mutated Metroid. Dark Samus has a base of operations on Phaaze, and is apparently capable of causing the planet to discharge Phazon Seeds according to her own will.
- Morphology: Phazon Tentacle
- A Phazon-based life-form that only grows from a concentrated source of Phazon. The tentacle appears to possess a rudimentary sentience and, as a defense measure, will retract momentarily when attacked. Like Phazon itself, it attacks and contaminates anything that it comes into contact with. A barbed hook at the end of the tentacle provides a means to assault any creature that wanders by. Victims are corrupted and absorbed into the nearby Phazon mass.
- Attacks any nearby organisms. Retracts when attacked.
- GFDF UT-009
- The Federation’s decision to establish a military presence on Bryyo is recent. The valuable deposits of fuel gel required protection against the Pirate troops of the sector. It was also necessary to examine the ancient ruin complexes and relics of the planet. Overall, Federation troops keep operations on Bryyo rather subdued, to avoid confrontation with the anti-technology Reptilicus.
- "Reptilicus" is the codename that the GF has given to natives of the planet Bryyo. They define themselves as Bryyo'mak, which is synonymous with 'the people of the land'. Their society is in a pre-technological stage, however, there is evidence that this was not always so. We suspect that the Bryyo'mak were once an advanced civilization, until a serious conflict occurred several centuries ago. The associated revolution nearly wiped out the population of Bryyo, which caused a profound hostility to technology in the Bryyo'mak. For this reason, the Federation avoids contact with these people if possible.
- Elysia was discovered eighteen years ago by Federation scouts. The planet itself is essentially an ordinary gas giant. The network of floating bases is what makes Elysia exceptional. The GF made contractual agreements with the intelligent Elysian mechanoids of the base; accordingly, in exchange for fuel and supplies, the GF is entitled to use the base - which is now called "SkyTown". An Aurora unit controls the operation locally, since local conditions are inhospitable for most forms of life.
- For the last two years, the space pirates were mainly driven by their greed for Phazon. Two Phazon mines have been neutralized to this day, but the Pirates are obsessed with obtaining the rare substance. Intelligence suggests that three Pirate cartels have already exhausted their resources as a result of Phazon programs. Many Pirates lost their lives, sometimes in the battle for the substance, but also in barbaric experiments to improve performance by Phazon. Recent data suggests that the pirates have encountered more Phazon deposits, possibly the largest of all to date.

- The backbone of the Pirate Armada, the Plunderer-class cruisers, have been a thorn in the Federation’s side for several years. Until a short while ago the Plunderers were regarded as under-armed and weakly armored, complemented by an unwieldy weapon system which made the ships slow and cumbersome in combat. But this has changed. The pirates have replaced the outdated combat systems with new Phazon-based weapons. In addition, a highly efficient Phazon drive is now found in all Plunderers. These upgrades make these ships more than evenly matched opponents for the Federation’s counterparts.
- Subject is a “bounty hunter", who enjoys a considerable reputation throughout the galaxy. She was instrumental in many incidents with Space Pirates and the parasitic life forms known as Metroids. Suit systems and weaponry of this subject are based on modified Chozo technology; the exact link to the Chozo requires further investigation. It is known that Samus Aran harbors extreme hostility to the Pirates, which is definitely mutual.
- Intelligence suggests that the one known as "Dark Samus" is a heavily mutated clone of the hunter Samus Aran. The subject is driven by a lust for Phazon, the alleged source of its powerful abilities. After the Aether incident it was presumed dead, but the subject was recently spotted again. Intelligence indicates that the subject commanded the Pirate armada which recently attacked the G.F.S. Valhalla.
- Until recently, Urtraghus was listed as planet SN-883, an inconspicuous world far from the boundaries of Federation space. We now know that a large armed force of Space Pirates is stationed there. The Pirates call this planet Urtraghus, meaning "Large Booty". First scans were blocked by sophisticated jamming technology. We are currently awaiting a report from GF agents who were deployed in this sector.
- A month ago, problems occurred with the Aurora network. Preliminary studies indicated a Phazon presence in the biosystems of different Auroras. The investigations led to the Space Pirates, who seem to have captured an Aurora Unit. The loading of this unit with Phazon led to the corruption of the entire Aurora network. In order to prevent another Phazon corruption, the entire Aurora network was shut down. Unfortunately, there has already been considerable damage. We need to administer an antidote to corrupted Aurora units immediately.
- Intelligence indicates that this colossal organism is the flagship of the pirate armada, and stands under the command of Dark Samus. So far, only one of these ships has been seen in use.
- The pirates have converted a "Phazon Seed" into an enormous capital ship, the dimensions of which even surpass a battleship. This capital ship is abundantly armed and has an outer shell that defies most weapons systems. It is a living organism; the weapons systems are anchored cybernetically. Like all Phazon Seeds, it has the ability to open wormholes. This makes the entire cosmos open to the ship; it can strike anytime, anywhere. No other vehicle in the entire universe is able to do so.
- G.F.S. Valhalla is the flagship of the 13th Fleet; her home port is planet Tivus. While on a recent training mission, the Valhalla was attacked by Space Pirates. Her final fate is unknown, though she is currently considered lost in action. Data indicates that Aurora Unit 313 was taken from the Valhalla as well.

- One of many Galactic Federation organic supercomputers.
- Space Pirate defense system.

- Assault Pirate Militia
- Assault Shield Militia
- Battle shield deflects attacks, but can be pulled with Grapple Beam.
- Manthas are practically indestructible. Only low-temperature weapons have any effect on them, and then only to stun. The creatures use sonic bursts to attack potential meals.
- Our fleets are to be retrofitted with the new Phazon weapons and drive technology, which have been designed by our leader and the Aurora Unit. The pitiful weapons and armor once used by our troops are now being replaced, and all of them benefit from the blessed ore.
- The arrogance of the Federation has done us a great service. They sent a single patrol ship to Aether! Surely they consider us weaklings, but they will soon regret this error. Quite by chance we stumbled across this measly Federation ship; in no time we smashed them, and they whimpered for mercy. Then we discovered that they had already collected the rest of the Phazon. How very prudent to save us this toil! And so we returned victorious to Urtraghus. This time the Hunter will come too late!

- The wisdom of Aurora is profound. It cleverly devised machines and processes with which we can extract the Phazon produced from the seed of Urtraghus. While our home world becomes more and more like a new Phaaze, we have put the broad masses to work in order to reap the spoils of Phazon.
- The inhabitants of Urtraghus, once a minor, quarrelsome band, are now a united force in service of our great leader. The legions of Dark Samus arm for war in the beneficent splendor of Phazon. Each day, hundreds of new disciples are added for the fight.
- The Federation fleet has arrived. Like a swarm of puny insects they throw themselves desperately against our mighty armada. Fear drives them, because the Seed will meet many of their beloved home planets. Soon they will all be worlds of Phazon, and their peoples faithful servants of Dark Samus.
- Soon we will also send Phazon Seeds to other planets. The blessed Seeds are protected by impenetrable barriers of Phazon energy until the time is ripe for harvest. We, the loyal legions of Dark Samus, along with the Seeds, will know how to defend against all enemies. With the power of Phazon at our disposal, we are unstoppable... and the Galactic Federation will certainly fall.
- Soon, all who were once called "Space Pirates" will have the strength of Phazon. And then they shall call us masters.
- There was much work to do. At her behest, we began to build a proper citadel on Phaaze. Thanks to our newfound strength, we could do in weeks what would have otherwise required years. If our enemies should find us, they will find us ready within our citadel.
- This time, Samus will not see us fail. Her former brethren lie in wait for her. The spirit of the great Dark Samus has captured these great hunters, wiped out the lies of the Federation, and shown them the glory of her reign. Blessed Phazon flows through their veins, and increases their strength many times. Now, certainly, this is the end of Samus Aran!
