The ringleaders



A ringleader is Samus Aran's term for the "small group" within the Galactic Federation that headed the Bottle Ship's special-forces unit and Project Metroid Warriors.

Quotes
"Even the ringleaders of the operation wanted to avoid that, but they still wanted the Metroids."

"But before the ringleaders could act, Adam appeared."

"Regardless, since the ringleaders were members of the Galactic Federation, they could no longer act recklessly."
