Plot

Samus Aran has been sent by the Galactic Federation to the planet Aether in the Dasha region to assist a group of Federation marines that went missing several days ago. Her ship is damaged in a storm on entry, and soon after landing comes across the corpses of the marines she was sent to back up, as well as a biomass that starts to reanimate the corpses. Soon after that, Samus comes across a dark figure resembling herself, which heads into a portal to an unknown destination, which she quickly leaves when she finds herself overpowered and outnumbered.

In the Great Temple, Samus learns from a surviving Luminoth, who were inhabiting Aether, that, long ago, the planet Aether was struck by a meteorite carrying dark energy, which split the entire planet into a "light" half and a "dark" half, and the Ing on Dark Aether waged war with the Luminoth, stealing their planetary energy for Dark Aether. Samus has managed to retrieve the Energy Transfer Module, which allows her to control the planetary energy of Aether, and now must assist the Luminoth by restoring the planetary energy to Aether.
