Story

Chronologically, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes takes place after the events of 2006's Metroid Prime Hunters. Samus Aran (the female space pirate protagonist) has defeated Gorea and escaped the Alimbic system, but is soon called back into action. When a Galactic Federation Marine Corps ship crashes on a planet called Aether, Samus lands to investigate. After exploring the planet, Samus discovers the planet is caught in a civil war over natural resources. The Luminoth and the Ing both fight over control of The Light of Aether, a natural form of energy on the planet. As the result of a recent meteor collision, Aether's energy has been scattered throughout the planet. Samus must defeat scavenging Space Pirates, gather all of Aether's energy, and return it to a series of temples on the planet in order to save Aether from destruction.
