Science. See the giant stone Mogenars do battle, destroying the land with
their titanic blows. And hear the undying scream of a planet wracked by
darkest war. The battles waged endlessly, and the resources needed to sustain
our war machines were great. Bryyo too had become a casualty of the war: the
air was filled with the smoke of battle and the soil soaked with the toxins of
pollution. Calamity after calamity visited the folk of Bryyo, until a world
once known for wonders became a scarred husk under the stars. Only a small
region remained habitable, and to it the survivors went, bringing the war with
them.
-------
Victory
-------
Found: Bryyo - Hall of the Golems
We, the Lords of Science, mishandled the use of our knowledge. The devastation
of the war robbed us of the rare resources necessary to fuel our war engines.
Without our machines we were unable to stand up to the Primal armies, and they
overran the enclaves of many Science Lords. What few remained fled into dark
places, polluted wastelands even the bravest of Primal warriors would not dare
enter. Whatever joy there may have been amongst the victorious was quickly
stamped out by the grim reality surrounding them. Bryyo, their cradle, their
sacred home... was on the verge of death.
------------------
Struggle of Exiles
------------------
Found: Bryyo - Burrow
As the followers of the Primal Traditions celebrated their victory, a number of
surviving Science Lords gathered in a hidden sanctuary. It was there that our
foolishness became obvious, and we regretted ignoring the Chozo’s warning. We
realized the folly of following the ways of Science with blind faith -- and the
peril of all Bryyo. The contamination left from the battles was spreading, and
would soon scour the remaining fertile lands, leaving naught but ash. It left
unaided, Bryyo would lose what few safe lands and water remained. Once more,
our great minds turned to a grand task... planetary salvation. As our enemies
searched the lands for us, the last Lords of Science, we created our final
machines and launched them into the heavens.
---------
Salvation
---------
Found: Bryyo - Hidden Court Hall
The great machines of the Science Lords performed flawlessly. They absorbed
the toxins and pollution in the air and soil, preserving the remaining fertile
land of Bryyo. Yet the planet’s climate was forever changed, leaving one side
eternally scorched by the sun, the other forever in the icy grasp of darkness.
The launch of the machines revealed the hidden enclave of the Science Lords to
their former enemies. The bright lights in the skies caused by the
decontamination equipment stirred old hatred in the hearts of the Primals.
Fearing a new attack, the Primals sent their warriors forth to hunt their hated
foes. We were now marked for death.
----------
The Hunted
----------
Found: Bryyo - Jungle Generator
The Primals crafted new magics to protect their warriors, and sent them into
the burning wastelands to hunt the Lords of Science hiding there. Though we
tried to avoid conflict, many Science Lords were found and ended by Primal war
bands.
I was but the sole survivor, the last remaining Lord of Science. In order to
protect myself, I adopted the wisdom once shared by the Chozo. I merged the
ways of the new -- Science -- with the ways of the old -- Magic. I built
mighty Mogenars out of stone, and placed them outside the walls of my home,
there to silently protect me from all enemies.
-------
Decline
-------
Found: Bryyo - Colossus Vista
Forgotten in exile, a creature of myth, I, the last Lord of Science, worked
tirelessly to protect myself and this world. I crafted magics and machines to
bring life back to the wastelands. I found a new source of natural energy in
the land and called it Fuel Gel. I vowed to atone for the devastation
inflicted upon Bryyo, caused by both science and war.
Yet, while I toiled, the Primals slipped slowly into barbarism. With no
Science Lords to hunt, they turned on each other, tribe against tribe. Magic
was lost to them, and they became as savage as the predator beasts of the wild.
--------
Prophecy
--------
Found: Bryyo Fire - Refinery Access
As time slowly passed, I grew old: even the combined power of magic and
science couldn’t cheat death forever. In order to preserve Bryyo’s
environment, I would need a successor. Finding one was a daunting task, for
most of the folk saw me as a monster. Time passed quickly as I searched, and
my efforts appeared to be in vain. Seemingly by chance, I found a young Primal
wandering the wastelands and rescued her. But this was not a chance encounter.
She was a prophetess, tirelessly searching for the last Lord of Science to
speak to about her visions. In her dreams she saw a starborne death coming to
Bryyo, and with her vision came a plea to save her world. Based on her
information, I began work on improving the existing decontamination equipment
to help prepare a defense for Bryyo against the eventual catastrophe.
--------
Our Plea
--------
Found: Bryyo Ice - Imperial Caverns
Sadly, disaster came to use before we could finish our work. An accident
caused our supply of Fuel Gel to explode, sending fire to the sky and exposing
our position. It was not long before a Primal war band saw the great fire, and
rushed to attack. Without a way to power my great Mogenars, I had no way to
defend myself from their assault.
Fleeing would only drive them to pursue us to no end, and they would show no
mercy to either one of us once caught. I had no other choice except to stand
my ground while the prophetess fled to safety. With her I sent my records of
the past, in hopes they would both find sanctuary.
You now read my last words, etched in stone and placed by the prophetess. We
speak to you from beyond the grave, to plead with you... Save our world from
the starborne plague. Lift the veil of hate from the eyes of our people. May
our remaining relics serve you well in this struggle.

Creators
--------
Found: SkyTown, Elysia - Main Docking Bay
I am Elysian, descendent of both the Chozo and the First. I am facing the last
moments of my life and transferring my memory to the data pod.
In a way, our chronicle begins nearly 1500 years ago. That was when our noble
creators, the Chozo, began to build that which would become our home. A place
of exploration and knowledge, floating in the clouds of planet Elysia, a
fitting home for its great Chozo builders. They built many linked, hovering
pods: in time they formed a net in the skies across the globe, instruments
peering out in all directions, studying the cosmos.
We did not exist then: only the Chozo walked these hallowed halls. To the
distant stars they looked, and a great many things they discovered -- including
that which would later spell grim disaster for all.
----
Gift
----
Found: SkyTown, Elysia - Arrival Station
Several decades passed for the Chozo here at Elysia. The harsh winds and
storms began to take their toll on the station, and upkeep began to take up
more and more of their precious time. Seeing a need for assistance, they
created us. The first Elysian, built by Chozo hands, stepped out of the
mechanicreche 1,450.82 years ago. Crude by our current standards, the First
was soon given the greatest gift of all by the Chozo. To better assist the
creators, the First was given self-awareness. To all other Elysians, the First
shared the Chozo gift. This event marks year One of the Elysian reckoning.
---------
Discovery
---------
Found: SkyTown, Elysia - Barracks Lift
The Chozo were watchers, studying the depths of space tirelessly to quench
their thirst for knowledge. From this facility they launched observation
satellites, firing them into the heavens toward distant worlds. These
satellites returned information that allowed them to analyze the various
phenomenon occurring across the cosmos. Through this process they were able to
satisfy their intellectual appetite, one planet at a time.
One day, a Chozo Searcher happened upon a very rare discovery. A
once-thought-lost satellite delivered information on a distant world. It was
incredibly far away, even by Chozo reckoning. Study of the stellar object
revealed that it was, in may ways, a planet -- and yet also sentient. Alive.
This chance event was brief, and the information being collected was lost
before the true identity of the planet was revealed.
-----
Alone
-----
Found: SkyTown, Elysia - Landing Site A
In the year 400 of Elysian reckoning, the time for our Chozo creators to leave
had arrived. To us they entrusted the station and its purpose. We were to
stand vigil and watch over the station until the time when others seeking
knowledge and enlightenment arrived. With their departure came one last
request from the Chozo Searcher -- to continue exploring the skies for the
answers to the mysterious planet. We gave her our word and resumed her
tireless search. Day after day we hunted for the answers she desperately
sought, but our efforts yielded nothing. We failed.
-------
Slumber
-------
Found: SkyTown, Elysia - Ballista Lift
By the year 600, we of Elysia were low on critical supplies and fuel. We
created smaller mechanoids to process fuel from the atmosphere of Elysia, but
they proved unable to produce a sufficient supply. Unable to secure the
necessary resources to sustain ourselves, we entered a state of hibernation to
preserve our remaining stores of energy and parts. While we slumbered, the
data collected by the station’s equipment was fed to us in dreams.
During this long period of sleep, we had many dreams. Countless great events
came to us, including a reuninion with our creators, who had come to call a new
planet their home. It was not long before disaster struck. A stellar object
hit planet Tallon IV, bringing with it a catastrophic corruption that sent the
Chozo world into chaos. We watched helplessly as our creators perished, the
few survivors fleeing to an unknown location. Powerless, we slept, and in our
dreams we lamented the deaths of our creators. This was our final vision,
after which we were never able to see our creators again.
----------
Federation
----------
Found: Eastern SkyTown, Elysia - Maintenance Shaft TR
Time passed slowly as we suffered through our bad dreams. We endured their
visions until finally, in year 1435, our automated defense systems were
triggered. A number of aliens, well armed and armored, had penetrated our
battle screens and entered Elysia Station. Per protocol, we were revived from
stasis to defend our home. As we mustered for battle, the aliens communicated
with us and declared themselves to be under the banner of peace. A truce was
called, and soon we began negotiations with the Galactic Federation. The
Treaty of Elysia began a new era of prosperity for us.
---------
Agreement
---------
Found: Eastern SkyTown, Elysia - SkyTown Federation Landing Site
The treaty brought us new supplies, fuel, and parts from the Federation. In
return, we allowed them to use Elysia Station as they saw fit. They were glad
to use the station’s powerful scientific systems, and gleaned a great deal of
knowledge from our data banks. Unfortunately, the harsh atmosphere of our
world was dangerous for the Federation researchers. They propsed to replace
the humanoids with a single artificial intelligence unit, which they called
Aurora.
------
Aurora
------
Found: Eastern SkyTown, Elysia - Broken Lift
Aurora was placed within one of our floating pods and connected into the
station’s network. This connection allowed Aurora to control not only the
facility, but us as well. Our link allowed us to reap the benefits of the
Aurora’s own connection to the Federation’s Aurora network. The units were
capable of communicating with one another regardless of the distance, and vast
amounts of information were passed down to us.
As the years went by we aided the Aurora and our Federation allies in their
research. We studied potential enemy threats and collected data on their
activities. It was, in some small way, a means to atone for our inability to
help our creators years ago. Through our alliance with the Federation we were
able to prevent many disasters, and bring an end to numerous threats in the
cosmos. We are not certain if that was what our creators would have wished to
happen, but it was certainly a peaceful life.
----
Loss
----
Found: Eastern SkyTown, Elysia - Concourse Access B
It was approximately five months ago that our systems detected a meteor-like
object collide with a planet in a nearby galaxy. The impact was followed by a
spreading corruption, identical to the one we saw devour our creators’ planet.
More so than ever, we were determined to aid the Aurora and discover the source
of these objects. Months passed before we could uncover its origin -- it had
come through a wormhole from an incredibly distant planet. We studied this
link between the tear in space and the location it was connected to. As we
delved deeper it became clear to us that this was the mysterious planet the
Chozo Searcher had been seeking. The living planet was aggressively attacking
other worlds, hurtling parts of itself across the cosmos like missiles. We had
finally discovered the source of these corrupted meteors.
It was about one month ago that we made our revelation, but all attempts at
transmitting the critical data to the Federation were unsuccessful. It
appeared that the Aurora Unit had become disabled. We tried desperately to
restore the Aurora, but it had been corrupted by an unknown virus. Our only
means of communication with the Federation were severed.
------
Phazon
------
Found: SkyTown, Elysia - Construction Bay
One week after we had lost communication with the Aurora Unit, we witnessed the
living planet strike again. It sent forth several stellar objects, one aimed
directly for us. It streaked through the clouds of Elysia, destroying a large
portion of our home, ultimately striking the distant core below. Soon our
sensors detected the presence of strange energy. Our readings matched with the
Federation’s data -- this was the same toxin that corrupted countless other
planets and our creators’ world -- the galactic scourge called Phazon.
-------
Invader
-------
Found: SkyTown, Elysia - Hoverplat Docking Site
We watched as Elysia fell victim to the meteor’s corruption, its Phazon
beginning to consume her. High above the noxious surface, we continued to
collect data on the object. It was not long before we met a new enemy. Space
Pirates, hostile alien life-forms and sworn enemies of the Federation, entered
the station and attacked.
The pirate forces struck swiftly, their numbers and weapons dwarfing our own.
After their initial assault, they began construction of a massive energy shield
around the meteor. They referred to the fallen object as a "Seed" and quickly
built the protective barrier. Any resistance they met from us was crushed, and
the massive shield was built without interruption.
Our attention then turned to the pirates themselves. If we could not stop them
through combat, perhaps there was another way. Our studies quickly yielded
unexpected results. All of the Space Pirates were corrupted with Phazon, but
unlike other life-forms, they were actually being sustained by it. This Phazon
kept them alive, and it appeared to control their minds with a will of its own.
------
Defeat
------
Found: SkyTown, Elysia - Powerworks
The two weeks following the Seed’s impact were disastrous. Like the Aurora
Unit, we too were infected with a Phazon-based virus. The spreading corruption
consumed many of us, putting us under Space Pirate control. It was not long
before only a handful of us remained.
During this time there was but a moment that we received aid. Ghor, the Hunter
dispatched by the Federation, arrived here to restore the Aurora Unit. Our
hope quickly vanished as he too was corrupted by Phazon and lost his own will.
He now leads the assault on the remaining survivors, taking more and more of
the station over with each passing day.
There is no hope left for us. Soon, we too will be among the enemy forces.
The last of us now stand before the brink of our history’s end, silently
waiting out our final hours.
I am Elysian, descendent of both the Chozo and the First. I am facing the last
moments of my life and trasferring my memory to the data pod.

Our Mission
-----------
Found: Pirate Command - Lift Hub
Phazon was discovered two stellar years ago, and since that moment, Command has
been driven to control it all. Two operations have been established, at
tremendous cost. Both have failed, thanks to the accursed Hunter, Samus Aran.
Her Federation allies now move to secure what little Phazon remains on the
planet Aether. This we cannot allow. We, the crew of the battleship Colossus,
swear to take that Phazon or die trying.
--------
Stowaway
--------
Found: Pirate Command - Command Station
Our attempts to intercept the Federation ship departing Aether were
unsuccessful. With them went a collection of Phazon, the first to fall into
Federation hands. They foolishly left most of the Phazon behind, allowing us
to quickly collect what we could. But in our haste we took more than mere
Phazon. Our scanners have detected the remains of Dark Samus, who has revived
herself within our Phazon storage.
Surely, we are cursed.
The fiendish shrew consumed all of the Phazon, then wiped out a third of the
crew in a matter of minutes. Now she moves at will through the halls of
Colossus, using her witchery to beguile the minds of the crew. We are unable
to call for aid, and only a few of us remain to stand against her. All is
lost.

Found: Pirate Research - Processing Access
Our struggles have ended. She has shown us the error of our ways. The way is
now clear. All previous vows of fealty have been forever forsworn: we now
pledge sole allegiance to our liberator, the great one, Dark Samus. We bear a
singular honor, we lucky few, for we are her first disciples. Our burden is a
happy one, for we will pave the way to her glorious victory and cosmic rule.
Let the light of Phazon lead us!
---------------------
The Source Discovered
---------------------
Found: Pirate Research - Airshaft
After our liberation, she left us adrift. We thought this a test of our
loyalty, and so we endured. Some said she abandoned us. They were promptly
shot. Disciples do not doubt their leader.
When she returned, it was on the back of a titanic starborne beast! As we
grovelled in awe, she ordered us to follow the beast through a rift in space, a
wormhole. Some refused to follow, afraid of the unknown. They too were shot.
Disciples must be fearless.
Once through the rift, we saw a singular wonder... Phaaze, the source of all
Phazon in the cosmos. Phaaze, the home of our glorious leader!
-------------
The Leviathan
-------------
Found: Pirate Research - Transit Station 1-B
Our leader provided us with great wisdom on many subjects, including the
improvement of our mighty battleship, Colossus. We followed her teachings, and
turned our vessel into a ship without peer. But more work remained.
Dark Samus required a mighty flagship, one to strike terror in the hearts of
her enemies. The might of Colossus was not enough. She demanded more! Her
solution was unique and most excellent.
We took her great star-beast and fitted it with cybernetic weapon systems.
Crew quarters and command consoles were placed within the beast’s skull. In
time, we created a mighty dreadnaught, and called it Leviathan. The great
leader was pleased.
---------------
Taking Valhalla
---------------
Found: Pirate Research - Creche Transit
The vision of our leader is vast indeed. As we prepared for war with the hated
Galactic Federation, she decided she required one of their great machines to
better control her living planet. We then set out to bring an Aurora Unit to
Dark Samus.
Bribes led us to the location of our prize: the battleship Valhalla. Crewed
with green recruits on a training mission, she was ours for the taking. One of
the mightiest ships in the cosmos was no match for the Phazon-powered weapons
of the Colossus. We rendered Valhalla helpless, then sent raiders to claim our
prize. The Aurora was ours!
There was to be no mercy for the Federation dogs. At the command of Dark
Samus, we jettisoned the crew into the frigid depths of space, leaving the
wreck of Valhalla as a warning to the Federation. Let them tremble before our
might!
------------
Purification
------------
Found: Pirate Command - Skyway Access
Our great leader, with the aid of our captured Aurora Unit, has discovered many
of Phaaze’s secrets. Dark Samus can now command the living world to send forth
Phazon Seeds! She was eager to test this new power. When we heard the first
world to receive this blessing was our Homeworld, we rejoiced.
The seed was sent into the void, and quickly made its way to our Homeworld.
Our brethren foolishly tried to repel it, but their efforts were in vain. To
think, once we were as pathetic as them!
Now the deed is done, and slowly, our Homeworld becomes like Phaaze. Soon,
there will be two living planets, two Phazon sources for our great leader to
use as she sees fit. Soon, there will be thousands of new disciples for her to
command.

The time has come. Our leader commands. We go to war at last!
Three worlds will be attacked, each important to the Federation. We shall
destroy the spy base at Elysia, the fuel production of Bryyo, and the naval
station at Norion. Each of those wretched worlds will become as Phaaze...
each a foothold into the territory of the hated Federation. From those worlds,
our vanguard will go forth. At long last, our enemies will be humbled, then
enslaved.
Three Phazon Seeds will be sent, and an armada will accompany each of them.
Dark Samus herself will lead the attack on Norion. Victory is ours for the
taking!

Found: Pirate Mines - Drill Shaft 1
Today is a day of celebration and woe. Our forces have taken planet Bryyo,
leaving the Federation outpost there in cinders. Though we missed their spy
base at Elysia, the planet itself was struck with a Phazon Seed. But Norion...
Norion was a failure... all thanks to the accursed Hunter, Samus Aran.
All is not lost, however. Our great leader defeated Aran and her mongrel
allies in battle. If they aren’t dead, they’ll soon wish they were. Each of
them bears her mark of corruption. Soon they, like we disciples, will bow to
her will.

Command has received disturbing reports from Bryyo. Contact with our outpost
there has been terminated. A coded brook bliptrans showing Commander Rundas
falling in battle to Samus has arrived. Worst of all, the Bryyonian Seed has
been demolished. The Hunter’s might is great, and she is as efficient as ever
when it comes to distrupting our operations.
Our spies within the Federation tell us she travels to Elysia soon. We plan on
having an appropriate welcoming party in place for her when she arrives.
Commander Ghor is a very... accommodating host.

Found: Pirate Command - Command Courtyard
The march of the Hunter continues, much to our dismay. She has smashed our
line at Elysia, taking down Commander Ghor in the process. The accursed
Elysian machines were no match for Aran’s guns, and now the Federation has
control of their spy station once again.
It is only a matter of time before they find the location of the Phazon source
and send their fleets to lay siege. Our great leader does not seem to mind
these set backs. If samus comes to our Homeworld, she will find us ready.

Mistress Gandrayda is the last of our leader’s field commanders. We hope that
she will succeed where the others have not. We hope that she will slay the
wretched Hunter!
Gandrayda tests our mettle often. She moves among us in our form, watching us,
looking for signs of weakness. Several unfaithful disciples have been ended...
violently. Those who survive will be stronger, ready for the Hunter that comes
for them from the void. Gandrayda has vowed to present Aran’s bloody helmet to
Dark Samus as tribute. We hope she fulfills that vow!

Fuel Gel
--------
Found: Bryyo Fire - Fiery Airdock
Fuel Gel is used to power most modern starships in the cosmos. It is extremely
rare, and worlds that produce it tend to be quite prosperous. The exception to
this is planet Bryyo, a Federation protectorate -- and the largest supplier of
Fuel Gel. Proceeds from Bryyonian gel sales go directly to the Federation
military forces protecting that sector of space.
The sheer value of Fuel Gel is very attractive, and has led to an uprise in
piracy over the last 20 years. Today, raids on gel transport convoys are
common, especially in frontier regions of space. The Galactic Federation has
increased antipiracy operations, and planets with Fuel Gel resources are
protected by Federation fleets and ground forces.

Mature Kashh plants are used for storage by Bryyo natives. Unlike the younger
versions, these have developed a thick bark that is only vulnerable to heavy
weapon fire.

Mounted Blast Shield
--------------------
Found: Norion - Hub Access
Mounted Blast Shields are unique in that they often have a primary locking
system. These systems commonly come in the form of multiple release locks that
must be hit in a sequential order. Once this locking system is disengaged the
shield can be removed. Weapon fire is insufficent to damage the shield, but it
can easily be torn off with a strong pull.
-----------------------
Multi-Lock Blast Shield
-----------------------
Found: Norion - Cargo Dock B
This type of Blast Shield is characterized by its multiple locking mechanisms.
A simultaneous blast to all the targets is required to deactivate the locks and
remove the shield.

Phaaze Door
-----------
Found: Phaaze - Landing Site
Phaaze doors appear to be organic maws contained within a thin layer of Phazon
energy. Disrupting the energy with Phazon-based attacks will cause the maw to
open and allow you to pass through.
-------------
Phazon Fungus
-------------
Found: Bryyo - South Jungle Hall
The soft bodies of Phazon Fungus are easily damaged by weapon fire. These
organisms are commonly found in areas that are highly concentrated with Phazon.
The growths can be highly destructive and will feed on any organic matter. As
the fungus grows, it corrupts the surrounding area further and will continue to
spread out.

Planet Aether
-------------
Found: Eastern SkyTown, Elysia - Chozo Observatory
Satellite information shows that Aether is slowly recovering from a cataclysmic
event. A stellar object struck the planet with an incredible force, burning
Aether’s fertile plains and destroying the lush forests covering her surface.
The planet’s own energy supply, once torn in two by the impact, is now stable.
The inhabitants of the word, the starborne Luminoth, have begun the long task
of mending Aether back to its former self.

Planet Tallon IV
----------------
Found: Eastern SkyTown, Elysia - Chozo Observatory
Tallon IV appears to be a utopia for biological live, containing an oxygen-rich
and hospitable atmosphere. The planet is home to countless species of flora
and fauna. Satellite scans detect numerous structures on the planet’s surface,
with closer examination revealing many of these structures to be of Chozo
origin. Tallon IV’s scar, the result of a celestial body impacting the
planet’s surface decades ago, is still visible. Satellite scans are unable to
determine the extent of the original damage, but the planet appears to have
recovered from any negative effects of the object’s impact.
