Xenotech

Xenotech is technology of alien origin as defined by Samus's Scan Visor during Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. This excludes Human or Chozo technology because Samus's Power Suit is Chozo in origin, and Samus is herself human. The Scan Visor only refers to machinery of Luminoth origin as Xenotech, although the term could refer to technology created by any sentient species.
