RX 338

RX 338 is a planet only shown in the Nintendo Comics System and Captain N: The Game Master. The name was likely derrived from SR388, which was mentioned in the instruction manual for Metroid. RX 338 is also known as the Prisonworld, because the whole planet is literally a giant prison (consisting of 100 individual blocks) that is currently used by the Galactic Federation. Samus Aran, imprisoned in Cell Block 1 for Mother Brain's crimes, is the only person to successfully arrange an escape using her navigation skills in the ducts and mines.

History
"The maximum security prison on Planet RX 338 was originally built generations ago, by an evil emperor named Suimar, to imprison all rebels against his despotic rule. Years later, after Suimar was overthrown, the Galactic Federation began using the world to imprison the most dangerous villains."

Features
"In Suimar's ancient times, prisoners were put to hard labor mining the world's rich mineral deposits. The old tunnels still exist, deep inside the planet. There are over 100 separate prison blocks, each designed to secure villians of every aptitude, from every world. A chain of orbiting Hunter Killer Satellites and Space Mines prevent anyone from getting on or off.

Life
The asteroid field around RX 338 is infested with deadly Spacesharks. These creatures feed on anything, from starship hulls to living flesh.
