abstract
  • M05: Excavation is the fifth mission in Metroid Prime: Federation Force. In this mission, the Federation Force is deployed to an Ancient Ruin on Bion to recover a data codex from the intended rescue site of the planet's extinct race. The codex was located using a spherical artifact recovered in a previous mission. Throughout the mission there are rock clusters, broken walls and other objects that can be destroyed for extra points; destroying all 60 of them completes a bonus objective. A Cannon is present inside the first main chamber that can be used for this purpose, similar to a "Vigilance" Class Turret in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. A large number of Fire and Omega Hoppers ambush the Force on the other side of the chamber. Destroying them all will unlock the door to the next area, which is activated by stepping on a pressure pad. In the second chamber, Fire Griptoraxes attack the soldiers. They must be cleared out to unlock the next door, which is again activated with a pressure plate(s). Entering the third chamber triggers a battle against a Collosun. Destroying it unlocks the final area, a corridor suspended above lava. At the end of this corridor is a final door, behind which is the data codex. After collecting it, the Force must escape the ruins. On their way out, the Space Pirates ambush them in an effort to steal the codex. The Force must destroy the Pirates, and their dropship, before the Extractor is summoned to take them back to the G.F.S. Aegis.
