The Ing can travel between Light and Dark Aether in a gaseous form, but must quickly possess a living creature to survive on Light Aether's surface. The Ing are the native species of Dark Aether and exist there in numerous forms, such as Hunter Ing, Warrior Ing, and Ingstorm, among others. It's also the site of the last confrontation with Dark Samus before the destruction of Dark Aether.
The Emperor Ing and the final store of Dark Aether's planetary energy are housed in the Sky Temple. The Sky Temple is the Dark Aether counterpart of the Great Temple. The Energy Controller housing Sanctuary's stolen energy is here in the Hive Temple, protected by Quadraxis. The Ing Hive is the Dark Aether counterpart of Sanctuary Fortress. The Energy Controller housing Torvus's stolen energy is here in the Dark Torvus Temple, protected by Chykka. The Dark Torvus Bog is the Dark Aether counterpart of Torvus Bog. The Energy Controller housing Agon's stolen energy is here in the Dark Agon Temple, protected by Amorbis.ĭark Torvus Bog Main article: Dark Torvus Bog
The Dark Agon Wastes are the Dark Aether counterpart of Agon Wastes. Significant landmarks here include the Sky Temple Gateway, from which the Sky Temple can be accessed, and the unnamed area where Samus first encounters Dark Samus.ĭark Agon Wastes Main article: Dark Agon Wastes The Sky Temple Grounds are the Dark Aether counterpart of the Temple Grounds. Sky Temple Grounds Main article: Sky Temple Grounds Her involvement in the local conflict eventually led to the defeat of the Emperor Ing, the seizure of Dark Aether's planetary energy, and the collapse of the entire dimension.ĭark Aether is divided into five major regions, which mirror Aether counterparts. Lastly, Samus Aran arrived on Aether after the Galactic Federation lost contact with a squadron of marines, learned of the plight of the Luminoth from U-Mos, and began utilizing the Portals to infiltrate key Ing strongholds on Dark Aether. She made repeated raids on Space Pirate Phazon stores, and seems to need no protection from the toxic atmosphere of Dark Aether. Shortly after the arrival of the Space Pirates, a mysterious entity known as Dark Samus made planetfall and began taking the Phazon of Dark Aether for herself. Phazon extraction raids began immediately, and their Science Team worked to prepare more survival gear for the toxic atmosphere. The Ing stored this stolen energy in three of their own temples in Dark Agon, Dark Torvus, and the Ing Hive.ĭrawn by the Phazon that spread throughout Dark Aether, Space Pirates arrived on Aether and soon found ways to use dark energy to open rifts into that dimension. Lastly, the Luminoth created the Energy Transfer Module to siphon the planetary energy of Dark Aether, but the Ing acquired this for themselves and used it to steal the planetary energy of three Luminoth Temples, until the energy of only one Energy Controller remained on Aether. They used these to plant strategic crystals throughout Dark Aether that created zones of light to combat the toxic atmosphere. In time the Luminoth invented machines that created rifts from Aether into Dark Aether and launched an offensive. The creation of the dark dimension also spawned a hostile, amorphous species, which the Luminoth named the Ing, their word for "terror." The Ing stored their planetary energy within the Sky Temple stronghold, and frequently attacked Aether, sparking a decades-long conflict in which the destruction of either planet hung in the balance. It occupied the same spacetime as planet Aether, and even siphoned half of its planetary energy.
Dark Aether was created when a Leviathan impacted the surface of Aether some fifty years prior to the arrival of Samus Aran.
