Story                   : One of the more important and highly secret UAC
                         installations has been severely compromised by
                         a demonic invasion from Hell. There are reports
                         of near complete annihilation of all personnel,
                         however the worst part is, that it is now
                         painfully clear that the UAC executives screwed
                         up as they stationed one the military's top
                         generals there to oversee the completion of a
                         multitude of secret projects. The UAC knew that
                         these installations would be a high priority
                         target for the next attack from Hell and sending
                         the decorated general there - well knowing that
                         an attack was imminent - was a bad move. The general
                         is a skilled soldier and is most likely still
                         alive and held as prisoner; Hell knows better than
                         to kill him. His last transmission was sent from
                         inside a spacecraft. It is unknown whether or not
                         he made it off the ground. You, being one of the
                         best and most lethal weapons of the UAC, have been
                         tasked to go to the planet in search of answers
                         and to bring the general home should he still be
                         alive. If not, then your mission is clear:
                         Kill everything and avenge the general.

Description             : Ty Halderman, the essential pillar of the Doom
                         community, passed away in 2015. He is greatly
                         missed and his contributions to the Doom scene
                         have helped keep this old game alive and kicking.
                         This project tries to honor Ty with levels that
                         pay tribute to his work be it in the form of
                         his levels or contribution to the Boom sourceport.

                         For more information on Ty go to this website,
                         which has links to everything you need to know
                         about him as well as the community's condolences:

                         74184-idgames-maintainer-ty-halderman-passes-away-at-69/

                         There are 20 levels in this megawad along with
                         plenty of new music and awesome new, original skies!
                         The project also uses a big part of Team TNT's
                         The Return and Final Doom: Evilution ressources.
                         We enjoyed putting this project together and the
                         level of commitment from all those involved should
                         be visible in the final result. In short: We hope
                         you enjoy playing it as much as we enjoyed making it!
