Space Pirate Log 2314, August 13th, Z.F. 06, Frigate 'Vol Paragom' Captain Kha Zuyon.

"It has been six years since Zebes has fallen and we were forced to leave. Our cargo has a 100% survival rate: Metroids and personnel are healthy but everything is on restricted feeding due to uncertain supply status. Our bases on Tallon IV and Aether were destroyed by the Hunter and two months ago a fleet that was protecting Phaaze was annihilated along with the planet itself. Most Phazon Leviathans have been destroyed, but we knew that at least one still existed somewhere in the infinite reaches of space. Our security status is currently Code Blue: no signs of pursuit from the Hunter or the Galactic Federation."

-Nine Days Later-

Space Pirate Log 2332, August 22nd, Z.F. 06, Frigate 'Vol Paragom' Captain Kha Zuyon.

"Our scanners detected a fully-mature Leviathan drifting through space one hour ago and we are now following it. We have only two months of supplies and it will take at least three weeks for an agricultural support vessel to catch up to us. The Hunter and Galactic Federation still do not know of our whereabouts. Current predictions indicate that it will take at least one cycle for the Leviathan to collide with a planetary body. Until then, mining teams are to remain on standby."

-almost one year later-

Space Pirate Log 2454, August 21st, Z.F. 07, Frigate 'Vol Paragom' Captain Kha Zuyon.

"Intercepted transmissions indicate that the Galactic Federation has decided that the Metroids must be exterminated. They sent the Hunter to SR388 to kill them all and are still unaware that we still have metroids on Research Frigate 'Vol Paragom' and yet we are certain that they will eventually find us. The Leviathan is cetain to find a planet soon; we've gone past no less than three solar systems and not once did the Leviathan collide with any planetary body. Hang on, is that a wormhole ahead of the Leviathan? We may need to get ready to hang on to our seats and not shit on them soon."

-one trip through a wormhole later-

Space Pirate Log 2455, August 21st, Z.F. 07, Frigate 'Vol Paragom' Captain Kha Zuyon.

"Just our luck right now. The wormhole left us in a solar system and the Leviathan crashed onto a planet that was similar to the human world known as Earth shortly after it went through the wormhole. We will deploy forces to secure the Impact Site and begin mining operations. We need to reach the Phazon Core ASAP so that it does not corrupt the planet to a massive extent and turn it into a second Phaaze as that would draw the Hunter here. As for the where the Leviathan struck, our schematics have a map of Earth and the Leviathan crashed where the Australian Continent should be. Our forces will head to the planet and secure the Impact Site once we have found it."

-two months later-

Space Pirate Log 2506, October 21st, Z.F. 07/1985 a.t.b, Frigate 'Vol Paragom' Captain Kha Zuyon.

"Our forces have built a mining operation and several bases on the Australian Continent of this world, which we named Tierra due to lack of imagination when it came to naming. Our forces not only secured the Impact Site, but we were able to reach the Phazon Core and prevent it from seeping into Tierra's mantle. We did encounter humans on the continent, but we drove them off and killed any who remained behind. Our forces did however learn about a super nation on this planet that was known as the Holy Britannian Empire. The Britannians are of no threat to our operations; our base is built to withstand a full-blown Galactic Federation assault, both from space and from on the ground. If Britannia does attack us though, they will have to sacrifice millions of their own soldiers to take the Phazon from our cold, dead hands. The other major powers, the European Union and Chinese Federation, are overall a lesser concern for now.
Furthermore, they have the nerve to take away the names of their conquered subjects. We conquered in the past and took the cultures and governments of our new subjects away when we won, but never did our slaves lose their very identity after being conquered by us. We will not bother Britannia for now; if they want a fight with us, they will have to make the first strike. The frigate that I call home needs maintenance at the shipyards that we built near the Katherine Military Base though. That unfortunately means that we temporarily won't have any orbital support if a Federation attack comes during maintenance. Construction of the Citadel, the building that will serve as our planetary Headquarters, is currently around 65%; the lower levels are completed and the Leviathan Core is secured inside the containement zone that forms the center of the structure's lower levels."

Space Pirate Katherine Military Base Command Center, October 25th, Z.F. 07/1985 a.t.b, 13:00 hours local time.

'At the Impact Site on Tierra, the Space Pirates had began to build a massive structure known as the Citadel. The Leviathan that had crashed onto the planet had been lifted by a massive crane so that construction of the Citadel could commence. The lower levels of the Citadel were now complete and the Leviathan was placed inside the center so that no other life forms could approach it. The design of the Citadel was simple: the lower levels held prison cells in numerous cell blocks and held a large central containment zone that guarded the Leviathan Core while the Space Pirates themselves would have their living quarters and research facilities on the upper levels of the Citadel in addition to the power generators that would supply the structure's energy needs and the necessary facilities for food production.

For now, the Metroids are held in hidden laboratories scattered across the Australian Outback of this world. Once the Citadel was complete in ten to fifteen more years, the Metroids will be transferred there; the Citadel is indestructible to anything short of a direct meteor strike or anything else that could destroy this planet's wildlife. Our forces are not stupid; should Britannia learn of our Phazon monopoly, they will declare war on us and stop at nothing to seize the Phazon Mines. Through careful and regulated use of the Phazon Core, we are able to safely mine Phazon from the various Phazon Ore deposits that we find in the mines and replenish the deposits whenever needed. Our supremacy is all but assured now; once construction is completed on the Citadel, we will be able to strike out at any foe on this planet without fear of retaliation.' Kha Zuyon thought to himself as a Pirate Commando entered the room and said, "Captain."

"At ease, Commando. Spread the word that six hundred teams of Space Pirates are to study the Britannian language. Each team is to consist of the most clever, most intelligent, and most educated Space Pirates and that they are to speak the Britannian language amongst themselves only. Furthermore, the Britannian language shall be taught to our military forces so that our foes are vulnerable." Kha Zuyon replied.

"Understood, Captain." The Pirate Commando said before leaving.
