Celestial Archives

"This space station, in orbit directly above ALINOS, is the primary repository of the combined knowledge of ALIMBIC scholars, scientists, and historians." -Metroid Prime: Hunters Logbook Entry''

The Celestial Archives is the first area explored in the Alimbic Cluster. Soon after landing here, Samus encounters her first rival bounty hunter, Kanden, and battles him for an Alimbic Artifact. After defeating Kanden, Samus collects two more artifacts and battles the Cretaphid and obtains the first Octolith.

Later, after retrieving the Battlehammer from the Vesper Defense Outpost, Samus returns for a second Octolith, this time facing the Slench.

According to a scan, the Celestial Archives was the source of the message that led the hunters to the Alimbic Cluster. Acording to the log book an "unknown mass", presumably Gorea, hit the station. This is most likely because before crashing on Alinos, Gorea could have hit the archives which are in orbit around Alinos. Due to the crash the Celestial Archives is severly damaged near the docking bays, with a corridor leading to the second Octolith appearing completely open to space.

The Volt Driver and Shock Coil are found here, suggesting that Sylux could have visited the Celestial Archives.

This station has no morphball mazes, only a few tunnels in the data-shrines
