In the year 2003 C.C. (Cosmic Calendar), the leaders of various planets united in order to form a congress known as the Galactic Federation to construct a fair and structured universe that would enable society to grow and prosper. Earth came into contact with individuals from these other worlds, and the advanced technology that these people possessed was shared with the humans of Earth. This led to great advances in technology, such as interstellar starships. However, devious groups known as "Space Pirates" began to attack the spaceships in the hopes of looting valuable goods, striking fear in the hearts of the people. In order to counter these attacks, the Federal Bureau set up a new combat force known as the Federal Police. Yet the pirates were extremely difficult to battle in the depths of space, even with the advanced technology of the Federation. Thus, they recruited a group of courageous individuals who became known as "Space Hunters", equipped with the best weapons available. The Federation provided huge financial bonuses to the Hunters in reward for hunting down and destroying the pirates.

It is now the year 20X5 C.C., and reports have indicated that a spaceship traveling with an unknown life-form from the deserted planet of SR388 has been attacked and seized by the Space Pirates. While research about this life-form is incomplete, it is known that exposure to beta rays for 24-hours will cause it to multiply. Some scientists believed that this life-form may have been the cause of destruction of life on SR388. Scientists decided to call this being a "Metroid" and the mere thought of it being in the hands of pirates was utterly disturbing. If the pirates could multiply it and use it as a biological weapon, the cost of lives could be overwhelming. The Federation launched search teams to find the pirates and discovered their base, located deep within the planet Zebes. However, none of the forces were strong enough to take the pirates down.
Desperate for a solution, the federation decided that the only option left was to attempt to infiltrate Zebes and destroy the leader of the Space Pirates, the mechanical life-vein "Mother Brain." To make matters difficult, the structure of the planet Zebes was a natural fortress that consisted of a large maze, filled with various traps and allies of the Space Pirates. Therefore, the federation selected the most dominating Space Hunter of the entire organization, known as "Samus Aran."
Samus, though human, has a cybernetic suit given to her by the Chozo, thus providing her with an uncanny amount of power. She has, to this date, completed many missions considered impossible, and her suit has the power to withstand lethal attacks, while providing many itself. Samus made her way through the fortress-planet Zebes, collecting weapon and health upgrades, advancing to new areas, defeating Kraid, Ridley, and Mother Brain, and, in the end, destroying all Metroids on Zebes..
