rdfs:comment

Year 20X5, in the Cosmic Calendar, was the year in which the Space Research Vessel Marina was attacked by the Space Pirates. The ship had been returning to Galactic Federation with samples of a newly discovered life-form before it was attacked. This life-form was called the Metroid, and it was discovered to have parasitic traits, including the ability to siphon the life energy of any living organism, leaving nothing but a brittle husk. The Space Pirates, desiring to use the Metroids as bioweapons, seized the creatures and made haste for their stronghold on planet Zebes, where they began to clone the Metroids by exposing them to beta rays.

Year 20X5, in the Cosmic Calendar, was the year in which the Space Research Vessel Marina was attacked by the Space Pirates. The ship had been returning to Galactic Federation with samples of a newly discovered life-form before it was attacked. This life-form was called the Metroid, and it was discovered to have parasitic traits, including the ability to siphon the life energy of any living organism, leaving nothing but a brittle husk. The Space Pirates, desiring to use the Metroids as bioweapons, seized the creatures and made haste for their stronghold on planet Zebes, where they began to clone the Metroids by exposing them to beta rays. The Galactic Federation located the base, Tourian, but was unable to seize it. They sent in legendary Bounty Hunter Samus Aran to Zebes to destroy the Metroids, in what would be called her Zero Mission. Metroid and Metroid: Zero Mission are set in 20X5. From there, the official in-universe timeline of the Metroid series is unknown. It is known that Metroid Prime takes place three years after Metroid: Zero Mission, but the placement of most of the following games is not clear. Metroid Prime: Federation Force has a contradictory placement in the timeline; while it takes place after Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, it is also said to occur in Year 20X6, which would be a year after Metroid: Zero Mission. Also compounding the timeline is the introduction of cycles in the Prime Series as an alternative method of measuring time.
