When Samus travels through Aether in an effort to repel the Ing, she uses these Portals to travel to Dark Aether and recover the stolen [[Light of Aether]]. After the defeat of the [[Emperor Ing]] and the demise of Dark Aether, the Portals vanish. | When Samus travels through Aether in an effort to repel the Ing, she uses these Portals to travel to Dark Aether and recover the stolen [[Light of Aether]].

Samus encounters two types of naturally occurring Portals, called Rifts: white-colored portals found on the surface of Dark Aether known as '''Light Portals''', and black-colored portals found on the surface of Aether known as '''Dark Portals'''. Before being energized, Rifts are inactive and cannot transit matter. When a Portal is energized, by means of [[Light Beam|Light Energy]] on Light Portals and [[Dark Beam|Dark Energy]] on Dark Portals, the Portal temporarily becomes stable enough to transport matter through the [[Interdimensional Void]]. | ===Rifts=== | ||

Samus also encounters three Portal Generators built by the Luminoth, one in each area of Aether. The Portal in [[Agon Wastes]] requires solar energy refracted through a series of lenses to provide power. The other two Portals, however, have no visually apparent power source. | Some Rifts can be accessed from the surface of both worlds, while others are only accessible traveling in one direction. The majority of these Rifts are constant, though some appear intermittently, to be used only one time. | ||

Samus also encounters three Portal Generators built by the Luminoth, one in each area of Aether, that create artificial gateways to and from Dark Aether. The Portal in [[Agon Wastes]] requires solar energy refracted through a series of industrial lenses to provide power to the Portal dynamo.<ref>{{cite|Mechanical analysis complete.
