The History Behind Samus
Samus Aran, our herorine of the Metroid Series, was not born with her super-natural abilities
and eye-catching skills, infact: Samus Aran was born quite normal. Her home planet was
Earth (Colony K-2L) and lived there for several years with her parents. However, the balance
of the galaxy's peace was soon to become unstable as the defenses of the Chozo Civilization
deterierated. The Chozo race are highly intelligent creatures who developed an advanced
civilization that understood that war was not the key to peace and prosperity.
Naturally, since they had no defenses against invading threats, they were vulnerable
to enemy attack.
This is exactly what happened. The Space Pirates not only attacked the Chozo Civilization,
but also the colony in which Samus was living. The remaining Chozo voyaged to K-2L in
search of survivors, but only found one: Samus Aran, their future heroine. Her parents were killed when
the Space Pirates attacked and she was left stranded on her planet. The Chozo took Samus
and adopted her as one of their own. Samus had the instincts of a warrior and was easy to
train, which was exactly what the Chozo needed to defend their civilization from
future threats from Space Pirates. To improve her abilites, she was taught the strategies
of battle, given Chozo blood to obtain their natural powers, and given the infamous
Power Suit to keep her skin tough, like that of the Chozo.
"Thus, the protector of the galaxy was born!"
