Removal Squad

The Removal Squad is a clean-up crew of the Space Pirates mentioned in a scan in Research Lab Aether in the Phendrana Drifts during Metroid Prime. They are requested after a stasis tank (potentially a Xenome Containment Unit containing a Tallon Metroid) has been contaminated beyond safety standards. Whether Pirate groups on other missions to planets, such as Zebes or Aether, also have Removal Squads is unknown, but is possible.
