Luminoth

The Luminoth, like the Chozo, are a technologically advanced race of beings. They were born on a distant planet, but migrated to Aether in their Golden Age. They lived in peace on Aether, until a mysterious meteorite crashed onto their planet, and bringing with it, the Metroid Prime. Consequently, Dark Aether was born, an alternate dimension that was the evil copy of Aether. On that planet, the Ing thrived. When the Ing diescovered portals that took them to Aether, they began invading Luminoth territory. Soon, they had defeated the Luminoth, who retreated into the Great Temple and into statis tubes. However, they left behind a sage, who guided Samus Aran to power generators located throughout Aether and Dark Aether. Once restoring power to the Luminoth, they were able to defeat the Ing and Dark Samus. Today, the Luminoth live in peace on Aether.
