[edit] History
Though Norion is a fairly out of the way planet, it is considered important enough to house the main Galactic Federation base for its area of space. Space Pirates attack Norion, and Samus, along with Rundas, Ghor, and Gandrayda, are sent to stop the Space Pirates. Later, a Leviathan is sent to Norion to corrupt it, but Samus manages to activate a cannon that destroys the Leviathan.
Norion is also where Dark Samus corrupts Samus Aran, Rundas, Ghor, and Gandrayda with Phazon.
[edit] Features
There is a Galactic Federation base on the surface that houses 3 generators, 3 landing pads, and a large control tower that controls the orbiting defense cannon. The base is mounted with a large planet defence system.
[edit] Life
Originally a barren planet, a sophisticated Federation terraforming process has transformed Norion into a forest world.[1]
[edit] Areas
The area of Norion visited in Metroid Prime 3 is known as Base Sector Zero, and is home to the main anti-orbital weapon on the planet.

[edit] Trivia
- Although in-game the area Norion is rather small, it can be assumed is much larger in reality as when the player uses the lift, the floor that it lands on is 4, suggesting there might be a much larger complex to be explored below or above.
