#federation marines

Hear me out: What if the Federation Force from Metroid Prime Federation Force was actually Damara and her two friends from the Metroid Manga?

Inspired from Samus saving her back on Planet Jigrad, Damara has managed to become the best of the Marines and is ready to help protect the Galaxy alongside her two friends!

Dunno who the 4th member of the team would be.

HAVE YOU MET MY LORD AND SAVIOR, FEM SYLUX HEADCANON

Okay but actually like Samus is the only strong female character besides Gandrayda and she’s dead now so we could really use another one (who isn’t a clone of Samus). Also, of the two characters we’ve met who are leaders in the Federation, one of them Adam who’s weirdly sexist and is constantly calling out Samus on stupic shit and sassing her in a way he sees as banter but is actually annoying and insulting. That, coupled with the fact that the only ones in the Federation are humans and we’ve maybe seen one female trooper ever, it wouldn’t be farfetched that the Federation is, at best, really old-fashioned, and, at worst, crippled by casual xenophobia and sexism.

I feel like having a character who’s an alien attempting to join the Federation (possibly with some shapeshifting ability) but is eventually outted could be a compelling character. In my headcanon, Sylux is a trans girl from Cylosis who tried to sneak into the Federation so that she could serve and put up with years of verbal abuse from both her peers and her superiors before eventually being outted.

In her eyes, the Federation would be the most corrupt shithole that someone could ever be a part of , and for this reason she looks down on Samus, Rundas, and any other bounty hunters who are willing to work with them, as well as hating the Federation itself. Maybe she even takes missions specifically from people who are rejected by the Federation. Idk, gay robin hood style. But yeah, I’ll probably never see this version of the character given that they refer to him as he and his gender is listed as male everywhere BUT A BOY CAN DREAM! <3
