But their paradise did not last forever. A [[Leviathan]] from [[Phaaze]] struck the planet, despite efforts to change its trajectory by the [[Luminoth]], and sent the planet into a state of [[Transdimensional Flux]]. Massive environmental damage and a consequential [[Ing-Luminoth War|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 Pirate]]s. | But their paradise did not last forever.

The impact had catastrophic effects on the already unstable planet, creating a “dark twin” of the planet and a fierce race known as the Ing. A brutal war between the twin planets took place, with the Ing gaining the upper hand. The G.F.S. Tyr went to the sector to investigate pirate activity, but were forced to make an emergency landing on Aether. Shortly after, the entire crew of Tyr was attacked and annihilated by the Ing. Hunter Samus Aran was sent to investigate, and wound up entangled in the local conflict. Aran fought against both Space Pirates and Ing, and arose victorious. Aether’s “dark twin” vanished, taking with it the Ing horde, and the planet’s peace was finally restored.<br><br>After the Aether incident, the Federation sent the G.F.S. Anhur back to Aether to deal with the pirate base. Upon arrival, the crew and marines of the Anhur assisted the native Luminoth in dismantling an abandoned Space Pirate mining facility. During the operation, the crew detected the presence of Phazon. The ship’s crew investigated and collected several kilograms of ore, which would later lead to the development of the PED.|[[Galactic Federation Data]] "Anhur Incident"|Metroid Prime 3: Corruption}}</ref> | ||

Approximately five decades prior to the events of ''[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]]'',<ref name="Anhur Incident"/> 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. | Approximately five decades prior to the events of ''[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]]'',<ref name="Anhur Incident"/> a Leviathan struck the planet's surface, splitting the planet's energy flow in two, thus creating the alternate dimension known as Dark Aether.
