=== Mission Briefing ===
* Primary Objective: "Self-destruct the O.P.R.F and exterminate all X-Parasites." 
=== Ridley ===
* "Ridley was bio-engineered by the Space Pirates to be the king of their hierarchy. However, after the Space Pirates' catastrophic defeat on Zebes, Ridley's body was assimilated by an X-Parasite. The Ridley-X began reproducing, and one of its clones secretly crawled into your gunship, causing it to crash into planet Oizys."
=== Planet Oizys ===
* "Planet Oizys is uninhabitable with no life whatsoever. It used to be a thriving ecosystem, but all flora and fauna were dispatched by an unknown cause. Ever since then, research facilities began scavenging for fossils to conduct research and genetically recreate prehistoric life. Planet Oizys is said to be the original homeworld of the ancient race known as the Chozo."
=== O.P.R.F ===
* "The O.P.R.F, which is short for Oizys Paleontology Research Facility, is a laboratory created to study and ressurect the extinct lifeforms on planet Oizys. This research center was created by a niche, non-profit organization called the Astronomy Paleontology Association. 105 scientists were stationed at the O.P.R.F, but that number has abruptly dropped to zero."
== X-Parasites ==
=== X Parasite Species ===
* "Untamable and extremely dangerous, these eldritch lifeforms survive off of assimilating the genetic code and knowledge of their hosts. X-Parasites were native to planet SR388, and were originally kept in check by the bio-engineered Metroids. However, after the extermination of the latter organisms, the X-Parasites managed to grow in population and become a massive threat to the entire galaxy. The gelatinous structure of an X-Parasite gives them invulnerability to any form of contact, making Metroid DNA the only viable method of eliminating them."
=== Reproduction ===
* "X-Parasites can reproduce incredibly quickly through a process similar to cell-division. These organisms will split themselves in half, which creates two, identical clones of their own original structure. X-Parasites can reproduce approximately every 5 minutes."
=== Core-X ===
* "This lifeform is notable for its barbed, durable shell. A Core-X is the result of an X-Parasite reaching its final stage, and they become much more scrupulous when picking out a host. Core-X usually prefer assimilating the largest organisms available in their proximity, which often results in them dying due to the lack of a host. However, a healthy Core-X is incredibly dangerous and must be met with caution." 
=== Manual-Controlled Body Temperature ===
* "A notable trait of the X-Parasites is the ability to change their body temperature at will. This allows the X-Parasites to adapt to their hosts' genetic code, which is what makes them so dangerous. The ability also creates many variations within the X-Parasites; Most notable being the Frigus and Calidus types."
=== Frigus Types ===
* "This variation of X-Parasite has a body temperature of 0 degrees celsius. Even with Metroid DNA, these X-Parasites can freeze the blood in your body if the Varia Suit doesn't come into play. Fortunately, due to having such a low body temperature, Frigus Type X can't assume the genetic code of their hosts."
=== Calidus Types ===
* "This variation of X-Parasite has a body temperature of 100 degrees celsius. Even with Metroid DNA, these X-Parasites can boil the blood in your body if the Varia Suit doesn't come into play. Fortunately, due to having such a high body temperature, Calidus Type X can't assume the genetic code of their hosts."
== Notable Core-X ==
=== Arachnus-X ===
* "Despite primarily being a mimic of Ridley, the Ridley-X that attacked you managed to assimilate an Arachnus before the B.S.L station's destruction. The Arachnus-X heightened its host's combat capabilities through gene manipulation, as scans reveal a tougher shell and quicker reaction time to the original Arachnus. However, the enemy's stomach area is still susceptible to firepower." 
=== Ridley-X ===
* "Ridley-X is the deadliest Core-X ever encountered so far. The organism not only assimilated Ridley's genetic code, but also DNA from the Dachoras, the Etecoons, and Arachnus. Ridley-X exhibits great ferocity and an even larger catalog of weapons compared to its past variations, including a plasma-breath weapon and an electrically-charged rushdown attack."
== Oizian Chozo Creations ==
=== Chozo Statues ===
* "Chozo statues were made 10 million years ago, back when life was still extent across Oizys. These structures were originally made to simply hold Chozo inventions, but creating them became an artform later down in time." 
=== Rockets ===
* "These projectile weapons were some of the first inventions created by the Chozo. Rockets are the predecessors to Missiles, but the former still consists of incredibly strong firepower." 
=== Frost Grenades ===
* "The Frost Grenades were considered, by the Chozo, to be a milestone in their archive of inventions. It was the Chozo' first weapon to possess freezing properties and a large explosion radius, which influenced the creation of Power Bombs and the Ice Beam."
=== Primal Suit ===
* "The Primal Suit was used by individual Chozo for conquest and warfare. This creation proved to be too powerful and destructive, which resulted in its banishment. Ever since then, the sapient, avian race has forgotten about the Primal Suit for years to come."
== Paleontologist Logs ==
=== Macready ===
* "Assuming you're an investigator who just entered this wasteland, you're an absolute moron. I've quarantined this whole god damn place for a good fucking reason. The floating bastards infected all the prehistoric creatures, and now they can invade Earth because you let them out. Good for you dumbass!! Wait until one of your crew members gets infected and travels to whatever planet it wants with your fancy spaceships. You'll be greeted with a destroyed Galaxy in just a few fucking months!!"
=== Palmer ===
* "I only have a few seconds to write this until that...that thing goes into me. You're probably wondering, what are you doing? Stop writing and run! Well, there really isn't any reason to. One of those monsters infected Nauls in the blink of an eye, and it can move far faster than I ever can. It's best for me to just hide and hope for the best..."
=== George ===
* "It seems the creatures aren't heading towards Samus at all. Most of the crew's saying that they just didn't find him yet, but I feel like they might be...avoiding him. He's literally in plain sight. How would they've not find him yet? I mean, I did hear that Samus got a freaky, Alien DNA injection recently so that might explain it."
== Miscellaneous ==
=== Archetroid ===
* "In Chozo culture, the Archetroids symbolized strength and power, and not without reason. These lifeforms were the apex predators of Oizys, and have saved the Chozo several times before going extinct. Archetroids also had a genetic code capable of absorbing X-Parasites without risk. It influenced the Chozo to use their preserved DNA in creating the Metroids, which served as predators to the gelatinous creatures. This Archetroid in particular absorbed a Chozo weapon before its passing, making it larger than its already massive size."
