Description:	Single level with lots of new graphics. This is a 4th level in the Pleiades series. (you may wish to download the previous levels; Pleiades, Mir, and Starcity, all of which can be found at the same sites as this level Note: Pleiades, Mir, Starcity, and this level are not intercompatible for combination into a single multilevel PWAD nor for play under the same loading of Doom2. They have different sky and wall textures assigned to the same names.) Finally, this level is a standard patch wad that does not alter the main Doom wad and is playable with the standard -file parameter.
Credits:	Chris Dale, who originally provided me with the idea for this sequel in the Pleiades series. Doug Ryerson, I borrowed a few of his textures from his ANTARES.WAD. Dave Swift, I borrowed his idea of shiny gold surfaces for a door textures from his H2HMUD01.WAD level.

Story Line		: The horrors of war for Star City are
			  momentarily over. Shell-shocked
			  survivors are coming out of hiding
			  and wondering aimlessly about. In the
			  big UAC building  at the city center,
			  you are going over records searching
			  for clues to how it all started. What
			  you find are records of the
			  intergalactic colony ship, Galaxia,
			  launched years ago and headed for the
			  Andromeda galaxy. And, they may have
			  taken some unwelcome stowaways with 
			  them! The starship Pleiades is a
			  capable ship and can reach the Galaxia
			  in a stern chase. You decide to accept
			  this mission and several months later,
			  find yourself closing on the giant
			  colony ship. All is quiet so
			  you decide to beam aboard. The room
			  that you beam into is a mess; it might
			  have once been an arboretum. What
			  you find are your worst nightmares...  
Description		: Single level with lots of new

			  the Pleiades series. (you may wish to

			  level Note: Pleiades, Mir, Starcity,

			  for combination into a single multilevel
			  PWAD nor for play under the same
			  loading of Doom2. They have different
			  sky and wall textures assigned to the
			  same names.) Finally, this level is a
			  standard patch wad that does not alter 
			  the main Doom wad and is playable
			  with the standard -file parameter.
Combat			: This level features varied combat
			  aboare a giant colony ship. It has its
			  own style of play that is different 
			  from the preceeding levels in this
			  series so that you must rethink your 
			  tactics. You will be confronted with
			  some tough choices on how you take on
			  some of the monsters. Although none of
			  these choices will put you into a no-win
  			  situation, the nature of combat will be
			  greatly affected. Finally, like most
			  of my levels, this level features
			  random monster placement the gives the
			  action a different twist each time it is
			  played.
Additional Credits	: Chris Dale, who originally provided me 
			  with the idea for this sequel in the 
			  Pleiades series. Doug Ryerson,
			  I borrowed a few of his
			  textures from his ANTARES.WAD. Dave
			  Swift, I borrowed his idea of shiny gold
			  surfaces for a door textures from
			  his H2HMUD01.WAD level.
