Space Pirate starship

The space pirate frigate is a ship in orbit around Tallon IV. Here the space pirates did experiments on creatures in zero gravity, as well as phazon experiments. Metroids were also held her but none are ever seen. Here experiments were done on some parisites creating four parisite queens. Two of them later escaped, one died in its tank and one remained in stasis until the place was about to blow up. When the Queens got out a distress signal was sent bringing samus to the planet to destroy them. Ridley was also given cybernetic abilitys here, turning him into Meta Ridley.
