As of Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood, the exact nature and purpose of the Twilight Cage remains shrouded in mystery. Sonic helps Nestor the Wise decipher some clues by gathering Precursor tablets during their travels. According to Nestor's translation, the Precursors believed the Cage to be a prison for dangerous and powerful races, designed by a godlike being called Argus. The validity of this hypothesis has yet to be determined.

(SSSM: #2; CSE) When the Dark Legion began their attacks on Echidnaopolis, the Guardian of the time, Steppenwolf, used his vast knowledge of Chaos energies to banish Menniker and the rest of the Dark Legion to the Twilight Cage. There the Dark Legion continued to live for centuries, but they were not well received by the other residents of the Cage, Imperator Ix making the point of ignoring them due to their inferior technology. Reciprocating the hostile feelings, the Legion would steal Nocturnus teleportation technology in their efforts to escape the cage, and with it they would periodically make brief escapes only to be returned to the confines of the zone. Following one of these escapes, Grandmaster Luger was assassinated by his own children. Kragok explained to Lien-Da that at worst the left over evidence from the experimental weapon atomizing Luger would appear to be a Zoah attack. (KtE: #3, #18, #25; StH: #205, CSE) When Dr. Ivo Robotnik fired the Ultimate Annihilator, the weapon weakened the dimensional barriers, allowing the Dark Legion to escape once and for all. The other inhabitants would remain in the Zone, and Imperator Ix continued research of the cage in preparation for the escape of his own people and their subsequent conquest of the universe. Fluctuations in the barriers to the dimension continued to linger on for months afterwards though, as Knuckles the Echidna was briefly pulled in and trapped there with the arrested Dark Legion Grandmaster Kragok while interrogating him for information about the former Guardian Tobor being replaced by the imposter Moritori Rex. They remained there for a brief period until a portal back to Mobius Prime opened and they escaped, although the real Tobor then pulled Kragok back in before it closed so he would not get away. When the Dark Legion fired the Quantum Beam to undo the effects from its first use on Angel Island, it inadvertently reopened the doorway to the Twilight Cage and both Tobor and Kragok emerged only to fall into the Dark Legion's Battle Cruiser, destroying the Quantum Beam and killing them both. (StH: #50, #100, KtE: #5, #18, CSE) When the Prime Zone's history was rewritten by the first Genesis Wave, the Twilight Cage was implied to have existed in that reality, and that Julie-Su apparently resided there. After the wave was reversed, Julie confided in Knuckles that she felt as if she was just there. (FCBD: #6) In 3236, the surviving members of the Brotherhood of Guardians (aside from Locke) were dumped in the Twilight Cage by Dr. Finitevus once he had completed his studies of them. After learning the fate of the Brotherhood via the former Legionnaire Dimitri, Knuckles and Julie-Su attempted to use a Warp Ring to travel the Zone and mount a rescue, but it failed to transport them between Zones.
