Of course it isn't written by the Federation. It is a combination of any and all databases she can access on something and what... well... scans indicate. I mean, obviously the Federation doesn't have any info on the Emperor Ing of all things, or the Chozo either for that matter.

But how could Samus have information on a society that nobody but the Chozo who were in isolation knew about. And that would cause the information on the logs to be quite out of date.
