Overview
In the year 2003 C.C. (Cosmic Calendar) the leaders of various planets united in order to form a congress that became known as the Galactic Federation in an attempt to construct a fair and structured universe that would enable society to grow and prosper. Under the guidance of this new federation, the individuals of the planets began to associate with each other and a new civilization began to develop. Various leaps in technology for transportation were created, such as interstellar spaceships and society flourished through the use of such expansion. NOTE: According to the Metroid Fusion and Metroid Zero Mission manual, the year of the Galactic Federation formation was 2003. In Metroid and Metroid II: Return of Samus it was the year 2000. Nintendo must have changed the year for some purpose, and in all the new metroid games the year 2003 is used.
