Inspired by modern sci-fi shooters, I've tried to construct some backstory to the monsters from the Freedoom project that gives the enemies some character and a little explanation for monster infighting.

An up-to-date version of the lore text is avaiable on my Gitlab repo where you can see latest developments and even submit changes if you want.

A little conceptualization:

• The Nek'raal were a galactic empire thousands of years ago. The backbone of their war machine was the usage of Thanatos energy to grant supernatural abilities to their people and their constructs.
• The Bru'al are a war-like species who believe in power and conflict.
• The Virtrex are a culture of techno-genetic splicers who modify and improve their bodies and their servants with advanced bioengineering techniques.
• Hominid mercenaries are unaffiliated warriors who work for hire or find plunder for themselves.
• Other Freedoom enemies as yet have no particular affiliation or backstory in my lore.
