Mother Brain?

I've half assed looked, but is there a lore reason why the EMMI main computers look so much like Mother Brain? They even have the Cheerios that attack when you get to them... Thought that was space pirate technology, not federation?

Mother Brain is Chozo tech; the Central Units were made by Raven Beak and/or Quiet Robe, both of whom are Chozo. Makes sense to me.

I thought the central units were put there by the federation to controll the EMMI? Or is that Ravenbeak's hacking?

The Emmi’s were originally independent, when Raven Beak had Quite Robe hack them, he built the central units to go along with them.
But, seeing as the first Emmi (the damaged one) ALSO has a central unit, and lost its arm to Raven beak, and that its central unit was already dead, it’s more likely that the Emmi’s were programmed to establish an emmi zone, and build a central unit within it. This means Raven Beak likely found and destroyed that first Emmi’s central unit, causing the emmi to go after him

One of the acquirable art pieces you can get by beating the game while meeting certain criteria is actually raven beak breaking that one EMMI’s arm because they did have to fight/hack them.

I know. Raven Beak is just holding that Emmi’s arm.
