Frigate Crash Site

The Frigate Crash Site is a room in the Tallon Overworld in Metroid Prime.

Description
The Frigate Crash Site is where the Frigate Orpheon crashed. There is a large pond in the middle of the room. Part of the crashed frigate can be seen. This room provides access into the crashed frigate itself. It is where you first go to the Phazon Mines. It is also possible to climb up the frigate to get to the Save Room and see a door blocked by a Blast Shield from the wrong side. When you first enter the room you see Flying Pirates who, upon spotting you, flee. There is also a damaged crate directly in front of you as you enter the room. The crate is oozing Phazon. This may be the first time the player encounters Phazon in the game. The crate may be the reason the Flying Pirates were in the room, as they might have been trying to retrieve the Phazon.
