Alinos

Alinos was once a very lush and thriving planet full of life, albeit a volcanic one with a very high temperature that was used for geothermal energy. Sometime in Alinos' history it was inhabited by the race known as the Alimbics who built structures throughout the planet. Sometime during their time on Alinos, the Alimbics began construction of a mighty weapon known as the Alimbic Cannon. Eventually, the planet's core exploded which devistated the structures and features of the Alimbic world. It is unknown how such an incident occurred.

During Samus' mission here, she came upon the Crash Site of what is thought to be Gorea.

Features
Alinos is intertwined with cracks and fissures from its shattered crust. Each crack reveals canyons filled with lava and heat that further penetrate into the planet's core. Various ruins of the ancient Alimbic civilization have also surprisingly survived the planet's violent past.

Life
Most of the planet's original inhabitants may have become extinct due to the explosion of the planet's core. What life that did survive the catastrophe may be different from its original form. The creatures that now inhabit the new Alinos have adapted to survive the planet's new environment. Constant spewing of lava has caused many creatures to seek refuge within the many intertwining canyons of the planet, as well as within the ancient ruins themselves.
