![]() The Space Pirates encountered by the Federation Force in the Bermuda System vaguely resembled the variations encountered on Aether but with far more insect-like traits. This makes it particularly difficult to identify an example of a 'standard' member of any race that comprises the Space Pirates, or to even verify that there are more than one. Scans in Metroid Prime confirm that Space Pirates are perfectly willing to undergo any process, be it physical or even genetic, that makes them more powerful as a species. Metroid: Volume 2 shows Zebesians undergoing genetic experimentation with the Body Adaptation Machine to adapt to the environment of Zebes. In designing the various Space Pirates for the first Metroid Prime game, Andrew Jones sought to create a diverse set of designs that still appeared to be part of the same reptilian race however, it is not confirmed if this extends to the more insectoid Space Pirates seen in the sequels. However, it has been suggested that there is only one Pirate race, whose ever-changing appearance is attributed to their obsession with self-experimentation, as well as stolen Chozo technology that optimizes their bodies for the environments of the planets they conquer. This is supported by the fact that members of other species, such as Evirs and Kihunters, are associated with the Space Pirates. This has led many to believe that the Space Pirates are less a single species and more a loosely connected organization comprised of multiple different species across the galaxy. However, beyond this their physiology has changed dramatically with almost every encounter, sometimes resembling crustaceans, insects, reptiles and even avians. In general, the average Pirate soldier is tall and bipedal, though they favor a more hunched posture. The Pirates have been responsible for some of the most disastrous events in Galactic history, such as the Phazon Crisis, and have been responsible for the raids of numerous planets, including Zebes, Bryyo, Norion, Elysia, Tallon IV, Aether, Naishii, Jigrad, and K-2L. They were known to be zealous of their right to rule that they would not only refer to the conquered planet as their own "homeworld", they would also take the name of the previously dominant race, referring to themselves as the rightful inhabitants. The Pirates would also lay claim to planets, establish the now-captured planet as their territory and any surviving natives as their slaves. The Pirates were notorious for attacking and raiding vessels in one moment, and disappearing the next. They quickly established themselves as a fearsome force, necessitating the formation of the Galactic Federation Police. Space Pirates have been present since the early days of the Galactic Federation. Main article: History of the Space Pirates
