- This article is about the room on the G.F.S. Valhalla. For other uses, see Control Room (Disambiguation).
The Control Room is a main room aboard the abandoned flagship G.F.S. Valhalla. It appears in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption and is the last new room explored on the Valhalla.
Description[]
Numerous Space Pirate and Federation Marine bodies litter the floor, casualties from the attack on the Valhalla five months before Samus Aran's arrival. It is where Samus obtains the Leviathan Command Codes from a Space Pirate Boarding Pod crashed into the room, and is given a varying message by Aurora Unit 242 informing her of what to do next.
Beside one of the Federation Marine bodies, there is a small PDA device that is malfunctioning (likely broken by the trooper's fall) and displays the code "78356". If entered into a nearby Key Code terminal, the terminal will lower to reveal a projector on its top, which soon brings up a flickering hologram of 313, the Aurora Unit installed on the Valhalla, giving a final message informing the Federation that the Space Pirates are extracting it from the spacecraft and bringing it to a "sentient planet which is the source of all Phazon". A Friend Voucher, "Secret Message Discovered", is rewarded upon the message's conclusion.

(Anhur Incident)
Data moved to Logbook for review."
- "Planet Aether, home of the Luminoth, was struck by a “Phazon Meteor” five decades ago. The impact had catastrophic effects on the already unstable planet, creating a “dark twin” of the planet and a fierce race known as the Ing. A brutal war between the twin planets took place, with the Ing gaining the upper hand. The G.F.S. Tyr went to the sector to investigate pirate activity, but were forced to make an emergency landing on Aether. Shortly after, the entire crew of Tyr was attacked and annihilated by the Ing. Hunter Samus Aran was sent to investigate, and wound up entangled in the local conflict. Aran fought against both Space Pirates and Ing, and arose victorious. Aether’s “dark twin” vanished, taking with it the Ing horde, and the planet’s peace was finally restored.
After the Aether incident, the Federation sent the G.F.S. Anhur back to Aether to deal with the pirate base. Upon arrival, the crew and marines of the Anhur assisted the native Luminoth in dismantling an abandoned Space Pirate mining facility. During the operation, the crew detected the presence of Phazon. The ship’s crew investigated and collected several kilograms of ore, which would later lead to the development of the PED."
Development notes[]
The room's internal name is 00_abandoned_control. The keyword abandoned indicates the G.F.S. Valhalla, and the prefix 00 indicates that this is a utility room.
Trivia[]
- This is the only room in the Valhalla to not contain a G.F.S. Olympus counterpart.
- Instead, this room bears a strong resemblance to the Control Tower on Norion. Both rooms possess a slightly similar shape and with both containing large device surrounded by computer screens on one wall. Both also house a view of the outside via a pyramid shaped sky-view roof. A small alcove is located left of this device in the latter room but contains no door, whereas the former room does.
