Space Pirates

From the Nintendo Wiki, your gateway to information on everything Nintendo

The Space Pirates are an organization in the Metroid series of games, and have been seen or mentioned in every Metroid game to date, where they play the role as the main antagonists to both Samus Aran and, considerably more so the Galactic Federation. The organization consists of aliens that have a lust for power over the galaxy that the games are featured in, and seek to destroy the ones currently in power - the Federation.

On multiple occasions the pirates have attacked their enemies, though as of yet the federation seems to be victorious, though not without paying a price - Seemingly thousands of Galactic Federation marines, scientists, and so on have died at the hands of the Space Pirates.

[edit] Goal

Their goal is to take over the galaxy, or at least be the imperious authority over it, and as stated, the only ones in their way is the Federation and Samus Aran, who have foiled their plans on multiple occasions.

[edit] Important members

The Space Pirates have some of the most powerful warriors in any organization, consisting of fearsome beasts and mighty knights who will stop at nothing to bring their enemies down. Important members include Ridley, Weavel, Mother Brain, and so on.
