    As I recall, they have been explained as being an aggressor species with their own fully developed civilization who are expanding into the Galactic Federation's territory. The Federation doesnt know what they call their species, so they have been unofficially officially dubbed Space Pirates due to their penchant for raids and ambushes as opposed to fully-committed interstellar war. Given how they act it seems likely that they wouldn't openly engage the Federation in full scale war until/unless they were certain of overwhelming victory, they are sneaky like that.

    I prefer Zero Mission to Super Metroid because of the story elements like the mural of the Chozo Guardian in a Varia Suit and the detail of kiddo Samus's crude drawing of herself with Old Bird and Grey Voice in one corner - the little touches that underscore that this was once her home. That direct connection to her history with the planet puts ZM over the top for me.

    I think its a fair assumption, that based on the backstory of the Metroid universe, the F-Zero series also takes place in the same unified galactic government. I even remember back in the late 90s, there were many fans who thought Samus and C.Falcon were siblings, apparently backed up by some piece of media (comic?), but I have never actually seen said source, official or not, so it was probably just a fan theory, but I would personally buy that connection.

    It can do a time skip, sylux is has been spying on SAMUS through Metroid, II and super Metroid, then it can do a “5 years later” And show the events of SAMUS blowing up the BSL and SR388 following fusion, Then the story can continue from there. Feds want SAMUS dead maybe and sylux is who is sent to take her down.

    Metroid Fusion has always been my favorite. I always thought the platforming in Super Metroid was less precise along with a clunky HUD and a dash button. In Metroid Fusion, all you need to do is hold R for your weapons and you already run fast enough so I never feel that I am missing a dash button.

    Fusion and Zero's mission Samus is way to slow, one of the only thing that I like better about Super's controls is the run button. Am2r solved this problem by making the morph ball faster and having a faster shinespark start and finish animation so that it's actually worth using it.

    For somebody who’s very unknown on the Metroid Lore... this is very simply and easily explained and interesting to look into. Thanks for the video, it’s great to finally learn about the Lore of this iconic Universe and Game Series, especially about everyone’s favourite Badass Intergalactic Female Bounty Hunter, Samus Aran. Also, I’m always excited for the next Timeline Video, since you guys explain these hugely detailed universes, into easy to navigate Lore Videos. That’s something not easy to do and I’m happy you guys take the time to achieve that feat.

    In the first age, in the first battle--when the shadows first lengthened, one stood. Burned by the embers of Norfair, her soul blistered by the fires of the Dragon, and tainted beyond ascension. She chose the path of perpetetual torment. In her ravenous hatred she found no peace, and with boiling blood she scoured astral plains--seeking vengeance against the Great Dragon who wronged her. She wore the crown of the Chozo. And those who tasted the bite of her blaster, named her, “Samus.”

But since Samus essentially thwarted the Galactic Federation's plans, she'd be labeled a traitor and hunted down herself. So while she could still conceivably be a bounty hunter, she'd be no longer supported by the Federation.
