The series is a lot about bounty hunters and galactic criminals being hunted down throughout space. And of course, the serires is known for having almost every woman in a thong:
Apart from the different outfit, doesn't she look exactly like Samus from behind? You can't see it here, but she even has the same sideburns as Samus does.
