Metroid Prime cameo in Star Wars: TOR?

[Chozo Guardian]

Hey guys. I recently noticed something in one of the quests on Taris in Star Wars: the Old Republic, the awesome new MMORPG made by Bioware. Now let me say right off the bat that this is NOT NECESSARILY an INTENTIONAL cameo, but that there is the slight possibility of such.
I was off on a mission to destroy some toxic chemicals in the ruins of a factory. (Everything is in overgrown ruins since Darth Malak nuked the whole freakin' planet from orbit in the PC and Xbox game Knights of the Old Republic 300 years ago.) When I found the barrels containing the toxic waist, I blanched. "Is that... PHAZON?!!!!!!!"

I took a couple screenshots of it, which you can see below. Double click to view and tell me what you think.
