Once Samus was able to rid the planet of its dark twin, the Federation took great scientific interest in it. Samus had previously eradicated all known samples of pure Phazon on [[Tallon IV]], but on Aether there was an abundance of the strange substance. Research with Phazon eventually lead to the development of the [[Phazon Enhancement Device Suit]], that was later used for military purposes. The device was also utilized by Samus in her efforts to destroy Phaaze.<ref> | Once Samus was able to rid the planet of its dark twin, the Federation took great scientific interest in it.

It is being tested on GF Marine battalion stationed in the Norion system. Marines can initiate an energy siphon from a supply of Phazon carried in a backpack into their armorsuits. This allows them to temporarily enhance the exoskeleton and weapon systems to their armorsuits. To date, no marines have displayed signs of “Phazon sickness.”|[[Galactic Federation Data]] "Phazon Enhancement Device"|Metroid Prime 3: Corruption}}</ref> The surviving Luminoth began to mend Aether in order to return it to its natural state. | ||
