[edit] Zero Mission pirates?
Just out of curiosity, do the black space pirates in Metroid: Zero Mission go by the same name, or is there another name for them?

- I don't think so. MarioGalaxy {talk/contribs/Count} 00:06, 18 January 2008

- I think they are commandos. Also, should we create a page for space pirate technology, such as weapons and ships and such?

Question, in the manga I believe the space Pirates refer to themselves as the Shuzoku, and that they have been oppressed. He also said that the Federation is corrupt and that the humans are simple "collecting" other species into it. It was in the 5th book.

- Shuzoku is simply Japanese for 'species', 'tribe', or 'family'. He just means that he feels that the space pirates have been unfairly persecuted. That said, his story is incomplete--the raw scan at MDB has a page right before that one that the translation lacks. Let's not make any edits until we find out what else he said. Besides, Adam says the story has been twisted. Dazuro 01:50, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
As for the Zero Mission black pirates... Commandos didn't exist yet. ZM was pre-Echoes. Besides, SM had tons of recolored basic space pirates with different health levels/weapon immunity. ZM's black or red pirates are just a smaller implementation of the same thing. Dazuro 01:51, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
In the manga at one point Mother Brain (after she assumes leadership of the Space Pirates) makes a comparison between space pirates and bees, saying "Just like worker bees that obey and follow their queen because of a hierarchy. They're a smart species." Does this points towards Space Pirates possible being an insectoid species........and does that mean there are bees in metroid? Dark Ridley 02:49, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
- Insects aren't the only creatures that have a hive-hierarchy (naked mole rats) but pirates do have an insect-like appearance. As for there being bees in Metroid, there are humans and Earth, so I don't see why bees shouldn't exist...TwistedNerve 03:41, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
- There are wasps in Metroid Prime, so logically you'd think there are bees. It isn't much of a leap to go from one to the other. Squee! 06:57, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
When the space pirate said the word Shuzoku he than imediantly said race afterwords. The race race wouldn't make much sence for anyone other than cars so he might have ment it as a species. Metroidhunter32 13:11, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
I'm not so sure about the part where Space Pirates dislike shorter species, as when the leader (Mr. Crab as Kuritsu called him) makes the order for the childs death for being to short, it appears that the other pirates are actually surprised (or even shocked) by his decision.

Just out of curiosity, which is the Pirate depiction you consider the original, or if you don't believe that there is an original, as they may be born different, which is your favourite? I prefer the Corruption armoured ones. Phazon Phantom 20:25, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
