Samus Aran's story starts off with her as a young girl in a human colony on the planet SR388. Space Pirates (English name, as their language is utterly unpronouncable) raid and destroy the colony, taking what they want and scorching the rest. Samus, as the only survivor, is found and rescued by the Chozo, a peaceful race whose technology has progressed so far that they have gone on to become spiritually enlightened as well since, you know, they had nothing better to do. They go to one of their occupied planets, Zebes (Zebeth in the first game; I pronounce it 'tsebesh' as though it were Romanian) and raise Samus.
The Chozo know the Space Pirates aren't gonna stop until they hold the whole damn galaxy in fear, but they are not a warrior race, they're not suited for such things. Young Samus burns with a passion, however... thanks to a combination of her tragic orphan status and natural human bloodlust, she'd make a great champion, someone the Chozo can trust to kick ass. So when she's old enough, they build her a powered suit of armor with adaptive technology that can kick the ass of practically anything out there, and set her loose. She starts by pitching herself as a bounty hunter... well, more like an independent contractor for the Galactic Police. The rest is history.
