History
In the Cinematic Universe, the Dark Kingdom was the main antagonistic force of the first story arc.

Prior to the Cinematic Universe
1000 years before the events of the Cinematic Universe, the Dark Kingdom, led by Queen Beryl, unleashed an attack on the Moon Kingdom, using an army of brainwashed humans, including the Knights of Endymion, who became the Dark Kingdom Lords. They laid waste to the Moon Kingdom as well as killing much of its people, including Prince Endymion I. All hope seemed lost until Queen Serenity I, at the cost of her own life, used her powers to seal away the Dark Kingdom and send her people to Earth to be reincarnated in the present day.

Cinematic Universe
In the present day, the Dark Kingdom's main goals are to unleash its full power, awaken Queen Metallia, and take over the universe. Towards that aim, Beryl seeks to gather human energy, and later seeks the Silver Crystal, with the intent to fuel the Dark Kingdom's power.

Base of Operations
Main article: Dark Side Castle

In the Cinematic Universe, the Dark Kingdom’s headquarters is named the Dark Side Castle. It is a gigantic, towering building with high walls located at the far side of the Moon. Queen Beryl’s throne room is located in a dark and ominous room in the highest tower.

The castle is also where the Dark Kingdom held its prisoners, including the missing astronauts of Apollo 18 and the crew of a Soviet LK lander.
