Ceres Space Colony
From Wikitroid, the Metroid wiki
Ceres Space Colony is the location where Super Metroid begins. After taking the infant Metroid aboard her gunship, Samus brings it to Ceres for it to be researched. Shortly after Samus leaves, Ceres' distress signal activates and she returns to the colony to find it all dark and all the colony members dead. She progresses through the colony and meets Ridley, holding the infant Metroid in its talons. Samus and Ridley battle, though Ridley flees, causing a countdown to begin. Samus escapes and Ceres explodes shortly after. She then follows Ridley to Zebes.
[edit] Trivia
- In Roman mythology, Ceres is the goddess of growing plants (particularly cereals) and of motherly love. Ceres was worshipped in Ancient Roman religion, and is today still worshipped in Religio Romana Neopaganism. Ceres was usually equated with the Greek goddess Demeter.
- In real life, there is a dwarf planet in our solar system named Ceres. It is the only one that resides in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, and is the smallest of five identified dwarf planet in this system, though it is the largest object in the asteroid belt and contains a third (32%) of it's mass. On September 27, 2007, NASA launched the Dawn space probe to explore Ceres in 2015.
