Description             : ***********************Story***********************
                         For a few decades, the Arceon asteroid, that orbits
                         near a giant star has been home to a mining and
                         more importantly a secret research station. While
                         the exact nature of the experiments done in the
                         station remains a secret, one of the recent findings
                         not only resulted in a catastrophic invasion that
                         has overrun most of the facilities, but also has
                         changed the course of the asteroid which is now
                         speeding towards the giant star where it will crash
                         disintegrating Arceon and all of it's facilities
                         As one of the few survivors of the invasion, you
                         must find your way thru Arceon and escape the
                         asteroid into the escape ships that managed to
                         escape the station.

                         Arceon is a boom compatible mapset consisting of 6
                         medium length maps plus an epilogue map, mainly
                         consisting of techbase themed maps, with different
                         themes based on the light color of each map

                         Each of the maps was built with an emphasis on
                         having layouts that encourage incidental combat
                         from monsters and are easy to navigate, filled
                         along with several combat setpieces.

                         Ages Past - Jimmy *bespoken for this project*)
                         Epilogue - And beyond... (Wandering Souls - AD_79)

                         Title Music: Get Ready from Alien 3 (NES) -
                         Original track by Jeroen Tel
                         Intermission Music: Lost in the Ether - Jimmy

                         Text Music: Broken Mirror - Tristan Clark

                         ******************Aditional notes******************
                         All maps were balanced for pistol start, but
                         continuous play is allowed, and there are death
                         exits placed for continuous play in mind.

                         Bear in mind that some fights run on strict timers
                         so doing no monster runs will involve a lot of
                         waiting.

                         Map04 is broken with no monsters
