Any idea what technology tier the Chozo would be at their prime? Mother Brain in the backstory manga said that the Chozo were the most advanced race in the universe but that's just a statement and the statement itself doesn't hint as to how advanced the Chozo were if it was true. I remember some sort technology tier where tier 1 was being able to control the energy of a planet, tier 2 is the energy of a solar system, tier 3 a galaxy, tier 4 is multiple galaxies and tier 5 is an entire universe. Something like that. Any idea where the Chozo would fall on this scale? I thought there was a Chozo Lore entry from Prime 1 that gave me the impression that the Chozo reached a point technologically where they either couldn't advance anymore or where advancement was meaningless. Looking through the Prime 1 Chozo Lore entries though I didn't find anything. I'd recommend reading through the lore entries if you've never actually sat down and read them all, they're pretty interesting:
https://metroid.wikia.com/wiki/Chozo_Lore. There is one Chozo Lore entry where it's stated that the Chozo have observed multiple dimensions. Note that the lore entries I am using are from the original North American release of Metroid Prime 1:
"Cradle
Logbook entry Chozo script translated. The cries of this dying land pulled us from our dreaming state, and now we Chozo walk as ghosts while the Great Poison sinks into the trees and waters, devouring all life. Some creatures survive, but their forms grow as twisted and evil as the force that fell from the sky. The heart of the planet will succumb soon, and so will we, even in our ghostly states. Already many Chozo have faded and passed into the unknown.
The Great Poison is unlike anything we have glimpsed in this or any dimension. It eats relentlessly, worming out life wherever it blooms and corrupting what it cannot kill. It will be our undoing. Our last hope lies in the Cradle, the temple we hope might contain this abomination. It is almost complete, hovering over the impact site, the dark heart of the spreading evil. If we can finish before the last of our kind drifts into madness or death, there is a chance for this world. If we fail, we are doomed with it."
Another idea, any guess as to how long Chozo could live? My guess is they must live for at least multiple centuries if not 1,000+ years due to this:
"Statuary
Logbook entry Chozo script translated.
As we have done for millennia, we Chozo work constantly on our statuary. The statues are our sentinels: blind but ever watchful, they are and have always been, repositories for our most precious secrets and strongest powers.
The crafting of each is a long and sacred process, performed only by those Chozo who have lifetimes of experience in such things. We have left these relics on planets across the solar system. Some are merely reminders: silent emblems of the Chozo that serve as icons of peace in lands that know only war. Others wield subtle strength, exerting their influence in ways beyond the understanding of mortal creatures. Still others are guardians of our secret ways, and these can be as terrible as they are beautiful. Those who respect and honor these relics will know the friendship of the Chozo. Those who deface or destroy them will know our wrath, unfettered and raw.
If this is true, Samus will probably live for a long time thanks to the Chozo DNA infusion.
