Backstory:

The TSA is called upon to eradicate a Kharaa infestation in a sector of the thermonuclear power complex Kraken-4 on the frozen planet of Valhalla, operated by mega-corporation Gyrfalcon Energy. The Kharaa have already established a hive in the reactor core, and is rapidly breeding additional lifeforms in order to infest the entire complex. Kraken-4 generates nearly 100% of all the electricity on Valhalla; if it is lost, the colonies on Valhalla will not survive the harsh climate of the planet.

Although the weather may be freezing, the battle for control of Kraken-4 will surely be heated.

The story for this map is that a civilian research vessel is found abandoned in deep space after an attack by the Kharaa. The marines are sent in to take control of the vessel before the aliens can establish a strong presence which will result in the loss of the ship and the valuable research data onboard.

The map itself is not the entire ship, but rather an isolated section of it where the Kharaa are active. The marines will start from the hangar of their command cruiser, which is docked with the research vessel.

Derelict uses mostly textures from the ns, ns2, and eon wads, and a few I made myself. The theme of the map is inspired by System Shock 2.
