G.F.S. Valhalla

From Wikitroid, the Metroid wiki

“	They're pirates, how can they resist a prize like that?	„
—Gandrayda

The G.F.S. Valhalla is a Galactic Federation Olympus-class battleship that was attacked by Space Pirates during a training mission in the Klar Nebula four months before the events of Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. A GF reconnaissance drone was sent to the station which revealed footage of the ship with a very large amount of damage dealt to the ship. The savagery of the attack was remarkable, even for Space Pirates. Equally unusual is that they left behind valuable components frequently stolen in prior Space Pirate raids. A ship as formidable as the Valhalla has never before been attacked by the Space Pirates, suggesting mobilization and organization never before experienced. The bodies of the crew often cover consoles and may be destroyed by Samus if she fires at theit bodies with her beam. All they stole was an Aurora Unit — Aurora Unit 313.

The wreck of the G.F.S. Valhalla can be visited by Samus in Metroid Prime 3, where it is found in the Gaflar System. It is inhabited by Phazon creatures such as Miniroids and Phaz-Ing. Although the location of this ship is accesible since a mid point of the game (shortly after retrieving the Screw Attack), it cannot be fully explored until a certain amount of Energy Cells are collected.

[edit] Trivia

• In Norse mythology, Valhalla (from Old Norse Valhöll "hall of the slain") is a majestic, enormous hall located in Asgard, ruled over by the god Odin. Chosen by Odin, half of those that die in combat travel to Valhalla upon death, led by Valkyries, while the other half go to the goddess Freyja's field Fólkvangr. In Valhalla, the dead join the masses of those who have died in combat known as Einherjar, as well as various legendary Germanic heroes and kings, as they prepare to aid Odin during the events of Ragnarök. Before the hall stands the golden tree Glasir, and the hall's ceiling is thatched with golden shields. Various creatures live around Valhalla, such as the stag Eikþyrnir and the goat Heiðrún, both described as standing atop Valhalla and consuming the foliage of the tree Læraðr.
• The dead Trooper's names are the names of some of the staff at Retro Studios. ^[1]
• If Samus expolores the Valhalla before acquiring the seeker missile launcher, no phazon metroids are encountered. Once she obtains the item and returns to the ship Samus encounters many of the metroids.
