'''Dark Aether''' | '''Dark Aether''' was a parallel dimension created on the planet [[Aether]] by a [[Leviathan]] impact. The dark dimension was the home of the [[Ing]], a hostile species [[Samus Aran]] encounters in ''[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]]''. Details of Dark Aether's formation are not mentioned throughout ''Echoes''. The Leviathan, together with the natural energy harvested by the [[Luminoth]] were somehow responsible for its creation. Landmarks on Aether and Dark Aether tend to mirror each other. A select few objects will actually move due to events in the other dimension. | ||
Since Aether was split, its planetary energy was split, as well. If one dimension was to gain control of all the energy, the other would perish. This provoked a lengthy war between the Luminoth and Ing, with the Luminoth on the losing hand by the time Samus arrived.

This provoked a lengthy war between the Luminoth and Ing, with the Luminoth on the losing hand by the time Samus arrived. Energy was exchanged via the [[Energy Transfer Module]], which bound to Samus after she defeated a [[Alpha Splinter#Dark Alpha Splinter|Dark Alpha Splinter]]. Due to this bind, and Samus's lack of a functional ship, she agreed to help the Luminoth leader, [[U-Mos]], reclaim the lost energy in the different regions of Dark Aether. | ||
To access Dark Aether, [[Samus Aran|Samus]] must use portals found scattered throughout Aether. These can either occur naturally or mechanically generated by Luminoth technology. | To access Dark Aether, [[Samus Aran|Samus]] must use portals found scattered throughout Aether.
