There are two types of portals: white portals found in [[Dark Aether]] are known as '''Light Portals''', while black portals found on Aether are known as '''Dark Portals'''. Due to the dimensional instability caused by the impact of Aether's [[Leviathan]], Light and Dark Aether often overlap in places. This can cause areas where matter can pass through the interdimensional void and travel from one to the other. These portals can lead both ways or may be one-way path. Regardless, in their natural state, the portals are too unstable for anything to safely pass through. They can be stabilized by [[Dark Beam|dark]] or [[Light Beam|light]] energy, depending on the type of portal. Dark portals require dark energy while light portals require light energy. Energizing them in this way temporarily allows matter to safely pass through. | ||

Volunteer scouts went through the rifts and found a twisted world, harsh and poisonous...a Dark Aether. They discovered that this world held the missing half of our planet's energy. They also saw the true face of the enemy, a race we came to call "Ing", meaning terror. Our scouts could not survive long on the surface of Dark Aether, so venomous was its air.

A strange portal underneath the [[Great Temple]] in the [[Hall of Honored Dead]] is the exception to the Portals' temporary behavior. This dark portal is constantly energized, and scans indicate that it cannot be utilized for interdimensional travel due to an active security system.<ref>{{cite|Portal is online, but unstable. Security system active.

When Samus escapes the collapsing Dark Aether, she uses this portal as both sides are now free of obstructions. As she exits through this portal, [[Ing]] attempt to escape but fail and are destroyed along with Dark Aether. | |||
