Samus Aran used to live with her parents, two celebrated scientific researchers in a human research colony, before they were killed in a violent ambush attack by space pirates. Orphaned, Samus would grow up trained by the peaceful but wise and war-torn bird-like alien race known as the Chozo people. One day, Samus, who now lives a lone life as a bounty hunter for-hire finds herself arrested and hired by the Galactic Federal Police. Her mission? Retrieve an alien parasite known as the Metroid from the remote planet Zebes… where a whole underground world of surreal horrors await, including a link to her dark past.
