Description

Generator A contains the first Fedtech Plasma Generator that Samus Aran must activate re-power the planetary defense system, brought down by the Space Pirate attack. When Samus enters the Generator for the first time, two Pirate Aerotroopers are seen departing, but not before detonating several charges placed on the generator, heavily damaging it. Samus goes to activate the manual override, but when she reachs the central platform, several "Jolly Roger" Drones surround her. They engage her in a similar battle to the Hive Mecha that Samus encountered on Tallon IV, although this time it is much easier. Samus then has to activate a manual override to deactivate the security panels and return the generator to a down position. She then has to activate the generator itself.

Once Generator A is back on-line, Samus receives a transmission from Fleet Admiral Castor Dane about the Leviathan. Oddly, Samus can shoot the Aerotroopers, but they are immune to her attacks. After Samus prevents the Leviathan's impact, the area is off limits due to repairs.
