| rdfs:comment | - Pirate Aerotroopers are aerial varieties of Space Pirates. They first appeared in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes and later several varieties were seen in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. Pirates of a similar nature appeared in Metroid Prime, but these were much different in design and were called Flying Pirates. Gandrayda can transform into an Aerotrooper, in a form known as Aerotrooper-G.
- Pirate Aerotroopers, also known as Flying Pirates, are a branch of Space Pirate infantry that provide air support for Pirate ground forces. They fly with powerful jetpacks capable of clearing great distances and wield beam cannons and rocket launchers. Their jetpacks can easily be targeted with Thermal Imaging, due to a design flaw in the jets, and they can be easily shot down with the Ice Beam/Dark Beam, Plasma Beam/Light Beam or Super Missile. Because the Space Pirate code states "Death before Dishonor", when an Aerotrooper is near death, it will try to take their opponent with them with a suicide strike. Because the trooper's jetpack is prone to explode when severely damaged, it makes an excellent weapon of last resort for the Aerotrooper. If on fire, their jetpacks can literally be rip

| Name | |
| Text | - Only the best can join the ranks of the Assault Aerotroopers. Heavily armored, they are resistant to most weapon systems. Their unique armor is able to deflect all Missile attacks, but can still be damaged by Beam weapons. Like regular Aerotroopers, they wield two Remote Attack Pods in combat. One is equipped with a Particle Cannon, the other with a Gel Bomb Rack. Gel Bombs stick to their targets until detonation. High-velocity movement can remove Gel Bombs.
- Pirate Aerotroopers are known for their cold precision and utter cruelty. Armed with both beam and missile systems, the Aerotrooper can be a difficult foe to engage, especially at range. Their jet packs can be overloaded with heat-based attacks, however. These units prefer death before dishonor: an injured Aerotrooper will make a suicide attempt strike before allowing himself to be captured.
- When the going gets tough, the tough put on armor. Advanced Aerotroopers wear an extra layer of ablative armor that is susceptible to explosive blasts. Like regular Aerotroopers, they wield two Remote Attack Pods in combat. These are outfitted with a Particle Cannon and a Gel Bomb Rack. Gel Bombs stick to their targets until detonation. High-velocity movement can remove Gel Bombs.
- Aerotroopers are dangerous foes, but their lack of armor leaves them vulnerable to explosive blasts. A weakness also lies in the jet pack: igniting it will allow the pack to be separated from the pilot. They use twin Remote Attack Pods to engage targets. The Attack Pods are capable of using a Particle Cannon or a Helix Missile Pod. They can tap their Phazon power unit to warp from point to point.
- Armored Aerotroopers are deployed in harsh combat zones. Their armor is resilient, but susceptible to explosive blasts. In battle they use twin Remote Attack Pods to engage targets. They are equipped with a Particle Cannon and a Helix Missile Pod. They can tap their Phazon power unit to warp from point to point. A weakness lies in the jet pack: ignite and separate it from the pilot to neutralize the target.
