Look, people, even the space fleet of the Covenant could be destroyed, simply because of one creature. Dark Samus, if you’ve played Echoes and Corruption, is an unstoppable force. From what I understand, it has never truly been destroyed, when Dark Aether collapsed, Dark Samus survived. Every time Samus “kills” it, it simply forms it’s atoms together again, but even more powerful. All she has been able to do is slow it down by overloading it until destruction.
Let’s take an overview of it’s weapons, shall we?
First off, it’s primary weapon is the Phazon Beam, a completely corrupted version of the Power Beam. Sure, that may sound weak, but ponder this: In Sanctuary Fortress, the room before you fight Dark Samus the second time, she kills Dark Space Pirate Comandos(I may be mistaken, they might have been Dark Space Pirate Troopers), in one shot.
Adding to this, is it’s spazer effect. It’s shots expand into many other shots as it waves the beam to the side. Supposedly, Dark Samus, having copied all of Samus' abilities, can use anything Samus could at the time, and therefore, it would also have plasma infused with phazon, wave beam infused with phazon(the wave beam is an electrical beam that is extremely effective against mechanical things, for obvious reasons), and ice infused with phazon.
It would also have all of her “beam combos”, such as the super missile(which it used often), the wavebuster(pretty much a constant stream of the wave beam homing onto targets and electricuting them to death), icespreader(another attack it has, except it freezes you, and traps you in phazon, which would kill almost any normal creature), and a potent flamethrower.
It can also shinespark without needing to run to gain a charge, use a continous boost ball, teleport(I’ve witnessed it use this in the first fight a few times, and no, it wasn’t just moving really fast, plus pirate lore mentioned it teleporting into their bases), fly(as of Corruption), supposedly through space as well, turn invisible, corrupt creatures and enhance them, posess creatures, and nothing short of total atomic disruption can kill it.
ANY creature commanded by the Covenant could be anhialated by Dark Samus with a single shot of it’s deadly beam, and it can move at extremely rapid speeds. Due to Having a dark clone of Samus' suit, it would also have her visor functions, including scanning for potential weaknesses to certain areas of armour, hacking into computer based systems, thermal vision and x-ray vision.
Power bombs, as well as the grapple beam would also be a part of it’s arsenal. It’s sheild that it generates is impenetrable to all but Phazon, and even then, all it can do is overload it. But it can reduce it’s Phazon levels to a managable level by expelling it in it’s attacks in the form of massive beams, while still constantly generating more, allowing it to have virtually infinite ammo.
As is, the radiation levels around it would be intense enough to likely kill even heavily armoured creatures around it in minutes, if not seconds. Plus, it’s a metroid, meaning, it can likely drain energy not only from sources of Phazon.
Don’t see how this ties in? Dark Samus is allied with the Space Pirates, and from the planet Phaaze, can send Leviathans and utterly corrupt worlds with Phazon, turning them into new worlds like Phaaze.
If Dark Samus wasn’t in the equation, the Space Pirates would only win if they do actually have a powerful space arsenal. But since that is unconfirmed, unless it is a ground battle, the pirates alone would lose. If Dark Samus is there, it doesn’t matter, they win.
But you forget, the covenent is a massive galaxy expansive super-religion with millions of soliders galaxy wide; far greater than the space pirates. Plus if you have read the novels the covenent have far better tatics and ability than anything ever encountered. And you all continously talk of hunters who are like walking tanks; slow but with outrageous firepower and armor, a single Spec ops elite or a zealot could kill a space pirate elite in one on one (form a novelistic stand point). So I think covenent.
Yeah, the space pirates win. Oh and the covenent do not have the best tactics, and abilities ever encountered, even in the novels. I’ve read all of the Halo novels more than three times, and I hate metriod, but the space pirates are just better.
Pirates for the win! Better armor, weapons, vehicles, and also the metroids and creatures like Ridley and Kraid. Also, if they kill Mother Brain, she’d just blow up the planet.
The Spacepirates would win. If you play metroid prime 3 corruption then you will know that the space pirates can go into hypermode(A state were they use phazon at a extremely high level and are almost indestructible for a limited amount of time). The space pirates can also use metroids against the covenant which would make their numbers fall quickly. In space the space pirates have the technology to destroy capital ships in one shot with a red lazer(similar to the death star, but I don’t think it can destroy a planet).

well thought u might wanna know
Sir Sean Connery, what hath you say about all this proven facts?
How would they combat covie space forces? They’re amazingly massive pre-split. And also, their ground forces would undeniably overcome pirates on terrain.
