The Trooper Pirates or Beam Troopers were Space Pirates equipped with reverse-engineered versions of Samus Aran's beam weapons, found only in Metroid Prime. However, the copies were flawed; the shielding left the user vulnerable to their own Beam weapon system. Troopers had all the standard attacks of any normal Space Pirate encountered in the game. They were equipped with a Scythe where their hands should be, and a modified Galvanic Accelerator Cannon which fires a copied version of Samus' beams. Though their weapon systems are inferior to those of Samus', they are still quite powerful.
