Dark Aether

The Dark Aether, also known as Hell and the Dimension of Death is a dimension of pure evil and has the ability to corrupt anything that enters the dimension. It can be entered in the map Die Maschine, where it appears as a dark mirror of the map.

Reawakening
The Dark Aether remained dormant until a Nazi experiment known as Projekt Endstation began, in which the Nazis used a particle accelerator to accidentally tear open a gateway to the Dark Aether, causing an outbreak in the facility. After World War II, Omega Group picked up where the Nazis left off by investigating the facility and causing another outbreak, this time with manifestations occurring across the world. There were several souls that were lost in the Dark Aether, discovering the creatures that inhabit it, such as Zombies, Plaguehounds, jellyfish-like creatures and giant beasts roaming in the fog. Sometime after the initial outbreak, a team was dispatched by Requiem under the lead of Commanding Officer Grigori Weaver to secure and contain the threat.
