Phazon crate

Phazon crates are special, indestructible containers created by the Space Pirates to store Phazon, appearing in Metroid Prime. Samus Aran comes across several of them, unopened, in the Emergency Evacuation Area on the Frigate Orpheon. Scanning them reveals that they contain batches of Phazon for experimentation and assigns them numbers, while also revealing that they were destined for Deck Beta before the Pirates abandoned the ship, six hours prior to Samus's arrival. Most of the crates are presumed destroyed when the ship crashes onto Tallon IV. The Phazon crates are a precursor to Heavy Phazon Canisters.

When Samus accesses the Frigate Crash Site in the Tallon Overworld, she will come across two of Phazon crates, which have been ruptured and are now leaking toxic Phazon. This is Samus's first encounter with the substance before she enters the Phazon Mines. Samus's Threat Assessment will rise if she stands near the leaking Phazon, receiving damage if she draws too close. Interestingly, this Phazon does not produce a sound when it damages Samus; this is fixed in the Metroid Prime Trilogy release.
