Editor(s) used:	DEU 5.2 GCC; BSP12x; RMB 2.0; DMGRAPH
Bugs:	DO NOT SAVEGAME IN LEVELS 2 & 4! The large number of vertices, objects, etc. overruns the savegame buffer. If you die, it's still possible to finish the level from scratch. Anyways, life in the Doom/Starwars world is supposed to be a bitch! :-) YELLOW KEYCARD ERROR FROM STARWAR2 IS FIXED!!! (sorry about that) If you find any others, please let me know.

LEVEL ONE: PRINCESS LEIA'S BLOCKADE RUNNER DECKS 1 & 2

Your ship has been boarded and captured by Imperial forces.  You 
     are the only Rebel left who hasn't been killed or taken prisoner.
     It's up to you to set the ship's self destruct system and escape, 
     but first you must make your way to the lower decks of the ship.  
     The turbolifts will take you between the two decks.  I took the 
     general layout of the ship from the RPG Rebel Alliance Sourcebook.

LEVEL TWO: PRINCESS LEIA'S BLOCKADE RUNNER DECKS 3 & 4
  
     You must enter the engine's accessways and activate the blockade 
     runner's auto-destruct sequence.  Having done this, you must now 
     escape the ship before it blows by using one of the escape pods.
     As before, I used the RPG Sourcebook for the general layout of 
     these decks

LEVEL THREE: DEATH STAR CHASM AND TECHNICAL STATIONS

You have to make your way to the turbolifts to reach the detention 
     level.  The only problem is there are tons of Imperials all about
     you!  Included in this level is the chasm Luke and Leia swang 
     across, the elevators Luke, Han, and Chewie entered on their way 
     to the detention level, as well as the large corridor with the 
     blast doors.  The blueprints covered 1/6 of the level, so I had to 
     make up the rest.  I'm sorry I haven't done any new textures for 
     the Death Star levels yet, I will be working on them before I  
     create any more levels.

LEVEL FOUR: DEATH STAR DETENTION LEVEL AND SECURITY STATION

You force your way into the detention level, but if things get a 
     little too rough, you can escape into the trash compactor.  In the  
     course of things, you raid a security station (from the RPG).  
     I copied some of the sections for deathmatch reasons.   
                          
     HINT: follow Leia's technique on getting to the trash compactor
     
     HINT: there is a secret switch that reveals the switch to open the
           compactor door

Known Bugs              : DO NOT SAVEGAME IN LEVELS 2 & 4! The large
                          number of vertices, objects, etc. overruns 
                          the savegame buffer.  If you die, it's still
                          possible to finish the level from scratch.
