Encrypted Space Pirate messages

The encrypted Space Pirate messages, or encrypted messages were communications from the Space Pirates that were intercepted by Samus Aran during Metroid Prime: Federation Force. Shortly before her capture at the hands of the Pirates, Samus was able to recover Pirate messages and transmit them to the Galactic Federation for decryption. In the post-mission briefing for M14: Tremor, General Alex Miles reveals that the intelligence team is working overtime to decrypt the messages, while hoping that Samus is not in danger. Before M19: Incursion, Miles reports that the intelligence team has partially decrypted the messages, and they reveal that the Pirates' Doomseye "strategic weapon" is concealed by camouflage. The camouflage is powered by a Transfer Device on the planet Excelcion, which the Federation Force immediately sets out to destroy. However, the Doomseye does not appear. The full message, which is further decrypted prior to M20: Insurrection, and completely decrypted prior to M21: The Core, reveals that there are a total of three Transfer Devices across all three planets in the Bermuda System: Excelcion, Bion and Talvania. Upon the destruction of all three Transfer Devices, the Doomseye is exposed, commencing the final mission of the game: M22: Convergence.
