Asteroid



Asteroids are recurring objects within the Metroid series of games. One asteroid was constructed into a lair for Mother Brain and named Metroid, during the events of the Nintendo Comics System and Captain N: The Game Master. SR388 has a nearby asteroid belt that claimed Samus Aran's Gunship and nearly killed its owner. A space station in the same system, the Biologic Space Laboratories research station, appears to have been a hollowed out asteroid, and it was set by Samus to collide with SR388, decimating all life on the planet. The Ceres Space Colony also has a nearby asteroid belt, and some asteroids can be seen in Metroid: Other M cutscenes.
