--- Credits ---
- Thanks to >@tack!< who adjusted the HUD for Domination so that all five spots are displayed at HD resolution
- Thanks to JackGriffin who disabled the Ghost function during the map preview. Due to many issues which followed and didn't balance the   main purpose, I decided to cut it off again. But JackGriffin's work should be mentioned here, though.
- Thanks to Creavion and FraGnBraG who tested the gameplay and gave some tips for improvement
- Thanks to papercoffee who wrote the story
- Thanks to everyone who kept us motivated by writing posts in the development threads
- Thanks to every mapper who made one or more rooms

--- Story Line --- 

Time: 2205
Place: A hitherto unexplored moon with an earthlike atmosphere circling around the gas giant Tambur_IV.

The Liandri Cooperation started digging precious metal. For this reason a mining complex was built in the cragged ground. A few days later the construction workers encountered the abandoned walls of an underground temple which belonged to a now lost civilization. Regardless of the numerous petitions of researchers and scientists, the Liandri Cooperation pressed ahead with the construction and, consequently, destroyed the majority of the temple complex. During these days, as if by magic all torches and lamps sparked themselves and a cold breath set over the proclaimed dead vault. This introduced the story of dying.
One worker by another died of accident, disease or - even worse - suicide. Machines stopped working or became uncontrollable. Chaos.
An unexplainable feeling was in the air, which drived the workers to distraction. An overall fear spread, slowly but inevitable. 
The Liandri couldn't engage new employees for this mission. Everyone who heard of Tambur_IV's moon rather refused to work than being submitted there. The Liandri get to feel the curse as well...the fear of this place permeated throughout the whole company to the remotest outposts. The mission was in danger of becoming a financial fiasco. A month later the plant was given up and closed.
Survivors reported that the lights inside the yet intact part of the temple still burned, however, extinguished gradually when the miners left and sealed the works.

Time: 2299
Place: UT99.org, a moon with an earthlike atmosphere circling around the gas giant Tambur_IV.

The Liandri Cooperation rediscovered the complex.
A large number of years have elapsed and the incident was forgotten or pushed to the back of one's mind. The yet well-preserved floor plans display a spacious system of tunnels and chambers and branched halls. A perfect place for their new profitable business model: Domination and Deathmatch, which enjoy great popularity for already eight years.
On this occasion they gave the moon a name: UT99.org, based on the famous tournament, the year of its rediscovery and an appendix for scientific objectives.

Thus it became an arena for the Unreal Tournament! The torches and lamps burn again in the catacombs of the ancient temple and the story of dying continues in a new saga...
