Elite soldiers of the Federation Police
The Galactic Federation Police (銀河連邦警察 Ginga Renpō Keisatsu), also called Federation Police Force, Galaxy Federal Police, Galactic Police, Federation Police and Federal Police is a military organization founded by the Federation Bureau created specifically as a response to the Space Pirates' attacks on vessels. Despite being a powerful force, the vastness of space has made locating the Pirates extremely difficult; as such, they and the Federation Bureau pay high prices to powerful Bounty Hunters to assist them.
Samus, along with Mauk and Kreatz, is once a member of the Federation Police and has Adam Malkovich as her CO. Eventually, Samus leaves the police force to become a Bounty Hunter. Chief Hardy is the chief of the Federation Police.
The Federation Police decide to send Samus when they fail to take Zebes, and she succeeds on her own during her Zero Mission. At some point after these events, it is determined that the Metroids need to be destroyed once and for all. According to the manual to Metroid II, a research team is sent to check on SR388. When contact with this team is lost, the Federation Police then proceed to send a rescue party and then a platoon of heavily armed soldiers to the planet, both of which are lost. However, the manual for Super Metroid and the introductory cutscene to Samus Returns states that, following Samus's attack on Zebes, there is only a single expedition to SR388. This Galactic Federation Special Squadron is assigned the task of exterminating the Metroids. However, they soon go missing. In both cases, the Galactic Federation Council then gives Samus Aran the order to go to SR388 and exterminate the Metroid population.
The Federation Marines and the Galactic Federation Army mentioned in Metroid: Zero Mission and seen in the Prime series and Metroid: Other M effectively replaced the police for a time. However, in Metroid: Samus Returns, the Galactic Federation Special Squadron sent to SR388 is said to be a part of the police force.
