SPB Agamemnon

SPB Agamemnon is the central location of the present events in Metroid ε, it is a Space Pirate Base located in the Mycenean Asteroid Cluster, one of the few locations following the events of Super Metroid where Space Pirates are still able to operate. The base is comprised of several stolen and converted spaceships as well as rudimentary Space Pirate structures built into a large central asteroid with small connected asteroids around it.
The purpose of SPB Agamemnon seems to have originally been as a communications relay for the Space Pirates, the asteroids making it highly defensible with secondary structures built throughout the field which were able to deter the Galactic Federation. With the collapse of the Space Pirate's leadership, Agamemnon reduced its communications to other Space Pirate bases. However, in 20X0 communications increased and activity within the Mycenean Asteroid Cluster increased. Galactic Federation reports indicate the Space Pirates appeared to be amassing their forces however never for overly long periods of time and many suspect that the old communications relay may have been re-adapted into a new organizational hub.

SPB Agamemnon is a spider's web-style base with many larger structures connected to one another via ducts, pipes, corridors and gangplanks often exposing parts of the superstructure to the vacuum of space. The Menelausian Tower is the centre of the whole superstructure and both acts as the original Communications Relay as well as the weapons depot for the base, it is protected by a ring of security towers known as the Spiratas which not only prevent star-faring craft from attacking the Menelausian Tower but also generate a dampening field which often ensnares would be attackers leading to the various spacecraft that comprise portions of the base as a whole.
One of hte largest ships grafted onto the Agamemnon is the GFS Ippos, a large military transport ship that was captured by the pirated in 20X8 unexpectedly after they'd gone into a period of inactivity after the destruction of their base on Zebes. The Ippos however posed a unique quality as it was captured in pristine condition, likely due to the Space Pirates wanting the weaponry contained within undamaged, as a result the internal electronics including the Ship's AI which like many used during the Space Pirate's dominant years was modelled with brain scans and historical data of generals and high-ranking officials in the Galactic Federation, the AI on GFS Ippos in particular being modelled off of Col. Hokyte, an intelligence specialist whom was responsible for minimizing data leaks to the Space Pirates during the early years of their activity. The Hokyte AI managed to damage the defensive grid of Agamemnon in the later portion of 20X0 which would allow for small ships capable of evading the manually controlled turrets to enter the base.
