G.F.S. Valhalla



The G.F.S. Valhalla is a Galactic Federation Olympus-class battleship that was attacked by Space Pirates during a training mission in the Klar Nebula four months before the events of Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. A GF reconnaissance drone was sent to the station which revealed footage of the ship with a very large amount of damage dealt to the ship. The savagery of the attack was remarkable, even for Space Pirates. Equally unusual is that they left behind valuable components frequently stolen in prior Space Pirate raids. A ship as formidable as the Valhalla has never before been attacked by the Space Pirates, suggesting mobilization and organization never before experienced. The bodies of the crew often cover consoles and may be destroyed by Beam weaponry. All they stole was an Aurora Unit — Aurora Unit 313. The ship itself seems to be corrupted with Phazon, suggesting that Dark Samus herself was present in the attack.

The wreck of the G.F.S. Valhalla can be visited in Metroid Prime 3, where it is found in the Gaflar System. It is inhabited by Phazon creatures such as Miniroids and Phaz-Ing. Although the location of this ship is accesible since a mid point of the game (short after retrieving the Screw Attack), it cannot be fully explored until a certain amount of Energy Cells are collected; in fact, G.F.S. Valhalla is ultimately one of the final levels of the game.

Trivia

 * In Norse mythology, Valhalla (from Old Norse Valhöll "hall of the slain") is a majestic, enormous hall located in Asgard, ruled over by the god Odin. Chosen by Odin, half of those that die in combat travel to Valhalla upon death, led by Valkyries, while the other half go to the goddess Freyja's field Fólkvangr. In Valhalla, the dead join the masses of those who have died in combat known as Einherjar, as well as various legendary Germanic heroes and kings, as they prepare to aid Odin during the events of Ragnarök. Before the hall stands the golden tree Glasir, and the hall's ceiling is thatched with golden shields. Various creatures live around Valhalla, such as the stag Eikþyrnir and the goat Heiðrún, both described as standing atop Valhalla and consuming the foliage of the tree Læraðr.
 * The dead Trooper's names are the names of some of the staff at Retro Studios.
