  1. For those that do not know, Mission 17: Infestation in Metroid Prime Federation Force primarily focuses on the Space Pirates trying to breed a horde of large Metroids on Talvania to use as a broader galactic threat. The production of these large Metroids is due in thanks to the Space Pirates creating their own variation of the ancient Bion race's amplification technology. Ultimately, the Federation Force does end the breeding operations on Talvania and later destroy the amplification technology the Space Pirates had stored in their DOOMSEYE super weapon. Talvania however is not the only place where there is a giant Metroid threat, as later in the timeline chronology, Samus has firsthand experience with the iconic big Metroid in Tourian on Zebes during the finale of Super Metroid. After seeing what the Space Pirates did on Talvania and their ability to replicate the amplification technology of the Bion race successfully, I'm leaning towards the idea that the Space Pirates might have built an amplification mechanism later on Zebes which ended up being used on the infant Metroid. Having played through the rest of the series, I have not come across any other explanation for why the infant Metroid ended up so giant while upon Zebes until after I played through Federation Force. If that is the case though, why stop with just one giant Metroid on Zebes? I mean, we saw quite a large number of big Metroids produced in the Talvania facility. The difference I believe is that there are far less resources available around Zebes compared to what power sources the Space Pirates had access to in the Bermuda System. Implied by the two Bion power cells placed just outside of the DOOMSEYE chamber where the Pirates' amplification technology is, the mechanism would require an absurd amount of power to maintain successful results. Remember exploring Crateria at first, seemingly shut down, and the complete absence of power at the Wrecked Ship while Phantoon was present, I think those instances are signs that power may have been diverted to fuel and recharge possible amplification technology on Zebes. I would argue that before Samus eliminates Phantoon and reconnects power to the Wrecked Ship, that that is the window in which the small infant Metroid became the fearsome giant Metroid later seen in Tourian. What are your thoughts? How do you think the Space Pirates managed to grow the infant Metroid to a monstrous size?
