Project Titan is the Space Pirates' project of infusing Phazon into inorganic matter, possibly to observe whether or not Phazon affected it in a similar manner to organic matter.
The codename for the creature created from the project is Thardus, which has become too powerful and is transferred to a Quarantine Cave.
If Samus scans around in the Pirates' base in Phendrana, it is revealed that the Pirates have further plans for Thardus, and possibly, Project Titan. However, it also says that the project has been postponed indefinitely, due to an inabilty to control Thardus.
Trivia[]
- In Greek mythology, the Titans (Greek: Τιτάν - Ti-tan; plural: Τιτᾶνες - Ti-tânes); were a race of powerful deities that ruled during the legendary Golden Age. Their role as Elder Gods was overthrown by a race of younger gods, the Olympians.
- Project Titan may have continued at a later time and yielded some significant results for the reason that some of the Pirate ships in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption appear and are stated (in Space Pirate Data) to have organic Phazon on their structures.
- Project Titan is also a project in Batman: Arkham Asylum where the injection of a drug known as Titan into a host manipulates their body, increasing strength and deforming their body structure, similar to the effects of Phazon Fever.
