"But the ocean remembers. Like history, the water holds many mysteries within its forbidden depths. It surrounds Mata Nui and covers it; it watches the island as it sleeps, and remembers."

Aqua Magna, or Great Sea, also known as the Endless Ocean by the former inhabitants of Mata Nui, is a giant ocean located on Spherus Magna.

History

The formation of Aqua Magna

Over 100,000 years ago, the planet Spherus Magna shattered due to structural damage caused by Energized Protodermis. A portion of the planet, containing water, eventually developed into a natural satellite and began to orbit around the largest fragment of Spherus Magna.

Approximately one thousand years ago, the Great Spirit Mata Nui was passing by this moon when he was cast into sleep by the Brotherhood of Makuta, making him fall down from space. Mata Nui's impact from hitting Aqua Magna caused huge tremors throughout his body, an event referred to by his inhabitants as the Great Cataclysm. This also triggered and damaged his Energized Protodermis camouflage system, causing the creation of an island later named after him. The cataclysm also caused the island of Voya Nui to burst out of Mata Nui's body and land on the oceanic surface of the moon. Another result was the shattering of the Pit beneath the surface of the moon, resulting in the deaths of several prisoners and its guard, Hydraxon.

Mata Nui stayed on Aqua Magna, comatose, for around one thousand years. The city of Mahri Nui on Voya Nui broke off and sank into the sea, where it stayed for the next three hundred years. Various inhabitants escaped to the ocean surrounding his body, though most were later captured and brought back. Voya Nui was eventually sent back to the Southern Continent by the Toa Mahri, destroying Mahri Nui on the way. Shortly before Voya Nui's return, Mata Nui died, and his spirit was replaced by the essence of the Makuta Teridax. Mata Nui was soon resurrected by Toa Mahri Matoro, but remained asleep.

Soon after, the Great Spirit was awakened and stood up, causing the destruction of the island of Mata Nui. Teridax later contemplated vaporizing the entirety of the moon's ocean.

After becoming familiar with his new powers, Teridax departed from Aqua Magna for Bara Magna. During this time, Mata Nui's consciousness entered the Prototype Robot and began pulling Aqua Magna towards Bara Magna to reform Spherus Magna. However, this task was interrupted when Teridax arrived on the desert planet and engaged Mata Nui in combat.

Spoiler Warning: Plot or ending details follow. (Please highlight the white space below)

However, Mata Nui was able to redirect one of Teridax's gravity attacks at Aqua Magna, pulling it further into Bara Magna's gravitational field until it fell irreversibly. The satellite collided with Bara Magna, and reformed Spherus Magna along with Bota Magna.

Location Placements

Teridax leaving Aqua Magna

The surface of the satellite is completely covered by an ocean, devoid of any land mass. Two islands formerly existed on the surface: Mata Nui and Voya Nui. The ocean dominated the moon for its entire history prior to the arrival of Mata Nui.

The Red Star was in orbit around the moon, and an unknown celestial body can also be seen in the sky. Lehvak-Kal and a small horde of Tahnok are also currently in a low orbit around it.
