Metroid Prime is the very first game made by Retro Studios. Something terrible from the stars came to Tallon IV decades ago, bearing corruptive Phazon and an enemy greater still, sleeping within the Impact Crater. But in searching for the origins of why her enemy chose this world to plunder, she discovers an age-old conflict which extends much further, to when her adoptive people the Chozo still called this place home. The Hunter must explore and battle her way through the world's lush and myriad environs, putting down Space Pirate operations wherever she finds them all while fending off aggressive, Phazon-mutated lifeforms. There, the Pirates have set up a secret research base, where they have resumed Metroid cloning, started reconstructing Ridley's heavily injured body, and are harvesting a new power for their own ends a radioactive mutagenic substance called Phazon, containing nigh limitless energy potential. After destroying the Space Pirates' base on Zebes along with the Pirate leaders Mother Brain, Ridley and Kraid, Samus Aran continues to pursue the scattered fleeing survivors across the galaxy and ultimately tracks them to their fallback position on the planet of Tallon IV, located in the same star system as Zebes.

The story takes place some time after the events of Metroid/ Metroid: Zero Mission.

Timeline-wise, it's the second game in the franchise's chronology.
