Aurora Unit 313



"Darkness...coming..." - Aurora Unit 313

Aurora Unit 313 is a Galactic Federation Aurora Unit that was stolen by Space Pirates from the G.F.S. Valhalla, under the orders of Dark Samus. As it was being removed from the Valhalla, it left behind a final message to the Federation, detailing what was occurring. It was taken to Phaaze, where it was implanted into the planet and corrupted by Phazon. As a result, Dark Samus was able to control the planet and all of its powers - including the Leviathans. During this time, however, Aurora Unit 313 became symbiotically linked with the planet.

After Samus Aran travels to Phaaze and defeats Dark Samus, she merges with the Aurora Unit, forcing Samus to battle it. To destroy it, Samus must first attack the open holes from which its tentacles emerge in order to stun it, then open the hatch on its head with the Grapple Beam to reach its core and overload it with Phazon energy. Once this is done, the cable connecting it to the ground will break and reveal its weak point. It will fly around the arena during this part of the fight. At this point, Samus must attack the weak point where the cord once was.



Once Samus destroys it, Dark Samus is finally defeated. The destruction of the Aurora Unit begins a chain reaction that ultimately culminates in Phaaze exploding, bringing an end to all Phazon.
