In the present, a telepathic message is sent from the Cluster to bounty hunters and other intelligent species, stating the key to the "ultimate power" resides there. The planetary system consists of two planets (Alinos and Arcterra) and two space stations (the Celestial Archives and the Vesper Defense Outpost).<ref name="manual" />

The protagonist of the single-player "adventure mode" is bounty hunter [[Samus Aran]], who investigates the Alimbic Cluster after the [[Galactic Federation (Metroid)|Galactic Federation]] receives a telepathic message. During the investigation, Samus is confronted by six other bounty hunters: [[Sylux]], a deadly sharpshooter who harbors a strong hatred for the Federation and Samus by association; Weavel, a cybernetic Space Pirate warrior who was injured in a battle with Samus; Trace, a feared member of the Kriken Empire; Kanden, a lab experiment and a supersoldier that was invincible; Noxus, a bounty hunter of the proud and reclusive Vhozon race; and Spire, the last of the [[silicon]]-based Diamonts.<ref name="manual" /><ref name=guide-hunters>[[#ref-guide|Official Nintendo Player's Guide 2006]].
