The computer starts with a computer readout that describes Samus currently being in stasis, but then it starts to glitch, and a lot of gibberish appears. Immediately following is a scene with several exotic-looking pods, out of which Dark Samus appears. The scene than switches to Samus who suddenly awakes.
In most narratives, this means that the former scene was a dream by the person waking up. So we can assume that Samus had a very intense dream, which even caused the computer monitoring her status to go haywire. What she dreamt could be explained as simply a bad dream; however, what we see in the dream is confirmed exactly in one of the Space Pirate logs found on their home planet: Dark Samus managed to rematerialize, stowed away on a Phazon pod on board of a Pirate vessel, and became all powerful again by absorbing all the Phazon.
This may also suggest that Samus and Dark Samus are somehow mentally linked together, with Samus apparently able to receive Dark Samus' memories when she deep asleep. With Dark Samus being a twisted (mental) copy of Samus, this is plausible.
N.B. We know it is a past memory and not something that Dark Samus is currently experiencing, because at the start of MP3, Dark Samus has been brainwashing and arming the Space Pirates for months already (as we later learn from a Space Pirate log).

In chronological terms, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption takes place between Metroid Prime 2: Echoes and Metroid 2: Return of Samus. The prologue of this game takes place 6 months after Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, the rest of the game takes place another month later.
It should be noted that all Metroid Prime games (including Hunters) take place between the very first Metroid (or the remake, Zero Mission), and Metroid 2: The Return of Samus.

Samus uses a gold-colored, dome-shaped ship in Metroid II, Super Metroid and the previous Metroid Prime games (this is probably the ship that gets destroyed during the intro movie of Metroid Fusion). In Metroid Prime 3, Samus uses a ship of a different lay-out, with wings that also serve as both launchers and landing struts, and an access lift below (note that a purple-colored ship of similar design is used by Samus after the intro in Metroid Fusion).
A scan of the ship reveals it is a new Hunter-class gunship, based on the previous ones, and was designed by Samus herself. She probably has more than one ship at her disposal for different needs. The new Hunter-class gunship may have been build especially for the ability to interface with Samus' visor, so it can more easily land at and attack designated areas (which is an asset in this game). Also, this ship may have more powerful engines, which enable deep space travel or quick traveling between systems (also a necessary addition in this game), whereas the original ship is only used for shorter distances.

After using the warp point on Bryyo, Samus ends up in a frozen cave, where she receives two transmissions which sound like some alien language. But this is most likely the voice of Aurora Unit 242 which gets muffled because of the thick layer of ice surrounding the cave. When Samus returns to the Bryyo ruins, the Unit mentions it tried to contact her without success.
In the original Wii version of Metroid Prime 3 Corruption. Admiral Dane uses the word "Damn". But in the later PAL versions and the Wii version of Metroid Prime Trilogy, Admiral Dane uses the word "No" instead.
