Specimen Storage

Specimen Storage is a room in the Phendrana Drifts in Metroid Prime. It is a short passage, its structure mainly made of metal, containing a Shadow Pirate and an Auto Defense Turret. These enemies are only found on the first visit to this room. There are also several empty stasis tanks that can be seen on two opposite sides of the room. They are blocked off from Samus.
This is the only room where the Space Pirates (Laboratory Gate) theme plays. It will continue to play in Research Entrance until the Space Pirates appear. Then the track is never heard again.

==Trivia==
*The Shadow Pirate in this room partially behaves like a standard Space Pirate, (albeit without its Galvanic Accelerator Cannon). It has the flaming eyes of the latter, plus it can be frozen with uncharged shots from the Ice Beam. This type of Shadow Pirate is only ever encountered once.
*The Auto Defense Turret in this room has only half the HP it normally would, similar to the turrets found onboard the Space Pirate Frigate.
