History Characters / MetroidGalacticFederation

* TokenHuman: Before ''Other M'' Admiral Dane was the only living human players could encounter in the entire franchise, what with Samus being a Human/Chozo/Metroid chimera and the mysterious Federation Official being a silhouette on a screen. An impressive feat, by MostWritersAreHuman standards.

A heavily armored security robot used in Federation facilities, encountered by Samus on the B.S.L station in Sector 3. Later becomes infected by the X via its exposed organic processor and gives Samus the Wave Beam upon defeat in its second fight.

* AIIsACrapshoot: It's one of only two enemies that isn't infected by X (at least not until the second battle), leaving it unclear as to why it attacked Samus. It may have mistaken her for SA-X or simply went haywire.

A horrifying bio-mechanical weapon created by the Galactic Federation that can manipulate gravity. Fought in Sector 5 of the Biologic Space Laboratories and gives Samus the Gravity Suit upon being defeated. It is also fought in Sector 2 of the BOTTLE SHIP on the way to and from Sector 0.

* BadassInCharge: The man in complete command of the space forces during the Corruption Crisis and the Horus Rebellions.

* ForgotAboutHisPowers: Destroying E.M.M.I.-05IM and -06WB would be ''much'' harder if they simply remembered they're capable of stunning Samus with their abilities after obtaining the Omega Blaster from their Central Units.

* AdmiringTheAbomination: He occasionally tells Samus how impressed he is at the [[ItCanThink surprisingly advanced tactics]] the X display as well as their ability to rapidly spread and adapt. [[spoiler:It's foreshadowing how the Federation plan to capture and weaponize the parasites.]]

* IdentityAmnesia: [[spoiler:One reading of his actions towards the end of ''Fusion'' posits that he had most of his memories suppressed (presumably to increase his loyalty to the Federation)]]. Picking up on this at some level, [[spoiler:Samus mentally nicknames the AI 'Adam;' when she [[FreudianSlip accidentally refers to him as such]], it leads to him regaining his memories.]]

* OhCrap: When ADAM sees that Samus has regained the Plasma Beam, the music abruptly cuts out as he expresses surprise before he catches himself and quickly sends her onto the next mission. [[spoiler:We later find out that the Federation secretly didn't want her getting the Plasma Beam at all, as that would let her defeat the SA-X that they wanted to capture instead.]]

** [[spoiler:His attempts to keep Samus in the dark about the Federation's plans involving the Metroids and the X, as well as his identity as Adam Malkovich in uploaded form, are late-game twists.]]

[[folder: James Pierce/[[spoiler:The Deleter]]]]

* KillItWithIce: A victim of it. The Deleter/James Pierce killed him with a freeze gun and left his remains in the artic biosphere.

* KillItWithIce: Like Maurice, the Deleter/James Pierce killed him with a freeze gun.
* NeverFoundTheBody: The Deleter/James Pierce disposed of it in a pool of lava. As a result, he is officially listed as "Missing in Action" in the post-credits character log.

[[folder: James Pierce]]

* InTheBack: [[spoiler:Attempts this on Adam and MB.]]

* LeaveNoSurvivors: [[spoiler:His role as the Deleter is to eliminate anyone who knows about the BOTTLE SHIP, whether it's the scientists who worked there, his own squadmates, or one of the galaxy's most renowned warrior.]]

* EtTuBrute: He was comfortable enough around the Deleter to converse with his visor raised. He was promptly shot and left to freeze.

* KillItWithIce: A victim. The Deleter killed him with a freeze gun and left his remains in the artic biosphere.

* KillItWithIce: Like Maurice, the Deleter killed him with a freeze gun.
* NeverFoundTheBody: The Deleter disposed of it in a pool of lava. As a result, he is officially listed as "Missing in Action" in the post-credits character log.

* BigBad: Of ''Other M'' as her going rogue, turning on the personnel, and unshackling the Federation's other projects is responsible for the incident aboard the BOTTLE SHIP.

* DeadPersonImpersonation: Passes herself off as [[spoiler:Madeline Bergman. Unfortunately for MB, she wasn't actually dead.]]

* MuggingTheMonster: [[spoiler:What is implied to be the Deleter sneaks up on MB after Samus leaves her alone. Let's just say there's a reason the Deleter's subplot abruptly ends there.]]

* NothingPersonal: [[spoiler:Due to her merely being a recreation of Mother Brain rather then a outright clone like Ridley, she lacks the former's grudge agaisnt Samus and remains relatively affable toward her. It only becomes personal after Samus kills the Queen Metroid.]]

* RidiculouslyHumanRobots: When Samus first encounters her, she mistakes MB for an ordinary human. [[spoiler:So does the Deleter; it's his last mistake.]]

* TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: Uses her control of the BOTTLE SHIP inhabitants to massacre the scientists onboard.

* NighInvulnerable: Their plating is made of a material that the first ''Metroid Dread'' Report states to be "the strongest stuff in the universe." E.M.M.I.-02SM’s introduction shows it not even reacting to receiving two Power Beam shots and a Missile to the face. The only thing that can destroy them is the temporary Omega Cannon given by the Central Units, which disappears each time Samus kills one of the E.M.M.I., requiring her to go find another Central Unit to give her the power-up again. [[spoiler:Samus only manages to survive against the orange E.M.M.I.-07PB by utilizing a [[EnergyAbsorption power]] not even its armor can protect it from.]]

* StalkerWithATestTube: [[spoiler:The spike they use to finish off Samus isn't merely a weapon, but a surgical tool they're using to fatally extract a sample of her metroid DNA on behalf of Raven Beak.]]

* TerminatorImpersonator: The E.M.M.I. are imposing, NighInvulnerable androids with [[RedEyesTakeWarning red]] [[GlowingMechanicalEyes glowing eyes]] that are relentless in their pursuit of Samus.

* WallCrawl: They can easily move on walls and ceilings and across short gaps in either, which gives them a peculiar form of locomotion that Samus has to work hard to stay one step ahead of. Defeating the White E.M.M.I. (the very first to display this since the first one is too mangled to manage more than a lumbering gait) gives Samus access to the Spider Magnet, letting her do this to certain magnetized walls.

* WorfHadTheFlu: 01P, the first E.M.M.I. Samus encounters is already beaten to hell and back, missing its armor plating and [[AnArmAndALeg part of a limb]]. As a result it's a much slower pursuer and can't climb, allowing her to get past it, temporarily empower herself with the Omega Cannon, and blow it to pieces.

* KillItWithIce: [[spoiler:A firm believer of this, as seen by his WeaponOfChoice.]]

* WeaponOfChoice: [[spoiler:He favors the Freeze Gun for eliminating his squadmates.]]

** On a meta level, it's [[ThatOneBoss one of the most challenging fights in the series]]. ''Fusion'' telegraphs the hell out of the impending DifficultySpike, with the computer unable to track its position and Sector 5 having been laid to waste by the time you show up. The Adam AI even theorizes it could destroy the entire station if not killed.

** It is most likely that the "P" stands for "Prototype".

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: The character as portrayed in ''Metroid: Other M''. Samus Aran repeatedly notes that she views Adam Malkovich as a father figure, but he does very little to ensure her well-being and remains as distant as possible. The game even goes as far as to imply that ''he's'' the mastermind behind the BOTTLE SHIP incident, culminating in him shooting Samus InTheBack. His final moments reveal that he did so as part of a planned HeroicSacrifice, and that he always respected Samus and her ability to look after the galaxy, [[MoreExpendableThanYou better than he ever could]]. The exact reasons for his otherwise cold demeanor towards her, however, are left unexplained.

* RenegadeSplinterFaction: ''Other M'' explicitly states that the illegal bioweapons experiments on the Bottle Ship are the work of a small rogue faction within the Federation. The [[https://www.reddit.com/r/Metroid/comments/p8kx25/a_mistranslation_from_fusion_has_finally_exploded/ original Japanese text]] for ''Fusion’s'' script also implies that the Metroid cloning lab on the [=BSL=] Station was also part of this same faction's purview within the Federation Army and not the Federation's higher-ups in general, as implied in the English localization.

A mysterious individual involved in the B.S.L. station and the suppression of Adam's memories.

* TheConspiracy: Part of the one regarding the Metroids on the B.S.L. and controlling Adam. Presumably, this is part of the same conspiracy as the one around the BOTTLE SHIP and the Deleter.

A heavily armored security robot used in Federation facilities, encountered by Samus on the B.S.L. in Sector 3. Later becomes infected by the X via its exposed organic processor and gives Samus the Wave Beam upon defeat in its second fight.

* PsychoPrototype: Even before it was infected by the X, Nightmare had attacked Samus on the [=BOTTLE SHIP=] and caused damage to Sector 5 on the B.S.L.
* RequiredSecondaryPowers: It's implied that it was built with replicated Gravity Suit technology to protect itself from being ripped apart by its own gravity-manipulation powers, as not only does the Core-X mimicking it give the Gravity Suit when absorbed, the room aboard the Bottle Ship where the original Nightmare is encountered has a hologram that looks like the Gravity Suit pick-up item.

* FunWithAcronyms: '''E'''xtraplanetary '''M'''ultiform '''M'''obile '''I'''dentifiers.

* NiceHat: Maybe it is a symbol of his authority, or maybe his authority lets him get away with it?

* NiceHat: Heck, the hat itself is a MemeticBadass in its own right.

* BaldBlackLeaderGuy: Well, he would be leader of his squad as a breach trooper but a General is around, for some reason, so he's obviously outranked.

* BaldOfAwesome: He's revealed to lack hair at the end of ''Other M''.

* KnightOfCerebus: Everything goes FromBadToWorse in ''Fusion'' when he shows up, [[spoiler:because in order to escape Sector 5 after destroying him, Samus must take a lengthy detour off the map, setting her on an inevitable course to TheReveal]].

* BlondesAreEvil: A blonde-haired machine who happens to have [[spoiler:an AI based on Mother Brain]].

* ArtificialBrilliance: The E.M.M.I have much better pathfinding and traversal abilities, making them much more dangerous. They will also thoroughly search their environment when they lose sight of Samus.

* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: All of them besides E.M.M.I.-01P have armor plating around their eyes for extra protection. Even the Omega Cannon can't punch through it in one shot and Samus must lay down a [[MoreDakka constant stream of fire via the Omega Stream]] in order to melt through the plating to expose their eye, and this can take long enough that the E.M.M.I is able to close the distance on Samus. Thankfully, the destruction of the plating will stun them for a second or two, allowing Samus time to get some distance to charge up the finishing blow.

* NighInvulnerable: Their plating is made of a material that the first ''Metroid Dread'' Report states to be "the strongest stuff in the universe." E.M.M.I.-02SM’s introduction shows it not even reacting to receiving two Power Beam shots and a Missile to the face. The only thing that can destroy them is the temporary Omega Cannon given by the Central Units, which disappears each time Samus kills one of the E.M.M.I, requiring her to go find another Central Unit to give her the power-up again. [[spoiler:Samus only manages to survive against the orange E.M.M.I.-07PB by utilizing a [[EnergyAbsorption power]] not even its armor can protect it from.]]

* TwinTelepathy: Synchronization type. The EMMI have alerts linked directly to their Central Units, causing them to pursue Samus relentlessly once she acquires the zone’s Omega Cannon upgrade. [[spoiler: Samus draining 07PB causes its zone’s Central Unit to deactivate.]]

* AIIsACrapshoot: They were sent by Galactic Federation to investigate ZDR, but have gone rogue and have become one of Samus's most threatening foes. [[spoiler:The reason for this is because Raven Beak reprogrammed them to capture and extract the Metroid DNA from her]].

* BoomHeadshot: Their CyberCyclops faces is pretty much the only part of them that is acceptable to damage, with Samus needing to make one good charged Omega Blaster shot to shatter their eye and shut them down.
* BrightIsNotGood: Multiple prerelease materials such as the reveal trailer and volume 2 of the ''Metroid Dread'' report have shown E.M.M.I. in a number of stark, bright colors emphasizing their high-tech design, such as white, lime green and yellow. In spite of this, they're also some of the deadliest foes Samus has faced yet.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: With their invulnerability to Samus' weapons that requires her to hide and/or run until she can get strong enough to fight them, the E.M.M.I.s fill the same niche that the SA-X did in ''Fusion'' and that the Zebesians did in ''Zero Mission''.

* CloseRangeCombatant: While they can almost instantly kill Samus if they grab her, they don't have ranged attacks, so she should be safe if she keeps her distance. [[spoiler: At least that's the case for the earlier models; E.M.M.I.s 05IM and 06WB are capable of ranged attack, with the former capable of freezing Samus if it catches her in its lights and the latter firing orb shaped blasts that pass through walls while in pursuit of her]].
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Each of them are colored differently; the first two are white, and the rest are respectively lime green, yellow, turquoise blue, purple and reddish orange.
