'''Aether''' is a rogue planet in the [[Dasha region]], in the periphery of [[Galactic Federation]] territory.<ref name=piratelogs>Metroid Prime 2: Echoes logbook: Lore: Space Pirate Logs</ref> Local lore describes the planet to once have been "a fertile, aged world, with bountiful fields and oceans".<ref name=goldenage>Metroid Prime 2: Echoes logbook: Luminoth Lore: History: Golden Age</ref> The paradise did not last forever. A [[Leviathan]] from [[Phaaze]], similar to the one found on [[Tallon IV]], struck the planet, despite the efforts to change its trajectory by the local inhabitants, the Luminoth. Massive environmental damage and a war between the two dominant races, the Ing and the Luminoth, devastated a good portion of the Luminoth population. Extreme climate shifts left most of Aether uninhabitable. The northern regions of the planet still support life and have served as a [[phazon]] mining post for the [[Space Pirates]]. After the crisis was solved, the Luminoth began the long task of mending Aether and returning it to its former glory.<ref>Metroid Prime 3: Corruption logbook: Aether</ref>

=== Dark Aether ===
=== Dark Aether ===
Approximately five decades prior to the events of ''[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]]'', a Leviathan struck the planet's surface, splitting the planet's energy flow in two, thus creating the alternate dimension, known as Dark Aether. Inhospitable to normal life, Dark Aether developed an ecosystem of its own, supporting strange hostile creatures known as the [[Ing]]. The Ing engaged in war with Aether's dominant sentient species, the Luminoth over the control of the planet's natural energy.

The Ing engaged in war with Aether's dominant sentient species, the Luminoth over the control of the planet's natural energy. Originally the energy was regulated by devices built by the Luminoth called Energy Collecters. The devices provided the Luminoth many technological wonders, including a weather control grid and a teleportation network. Dark Aether had similar devices, linked to its planetary energy.<ref>Metroid Prime 2: Echoes logbook: Dark Aether, Energy Collecter</ref> Unaware of the origin of the Leviathan, the Luminoth continually refer to it as a comet throughout the game.

=== Space Pirates arrive ===
=== Space Pirates arrive ===
After the fall of the Luminoth, a Space Pirate science team detected the precense of phazon on Aether and shortly there after the [[Space Pirate High Command]] authorized the deployment of a mining team. The team found large amounts of valuable phazon, but soon fell under attack of the Ing. The science team found ways to utilize the [[Dark Beam]] created by the Luminoth to open spatail rifts into Dark Aether for mining operations. After entering Dark Aether, the Space Pirates soon faced a new threat: [[Dark Samus]], mistaking the creature for Samus Aran.
