Origin and Design
Originally, the Doom storyline was quite different from the version finally used in Doom and Doom II. The original story unfolded on a military base, located on an alien planet called Tei Tenga. The managing organization was called the UAAF (United Aerospace Armed Forces), sent to guard the installation. The UAC was only ever specifically mentioned as side notes; its importance seems to have been somewhat reduced, its focus possibly a military one, and it was referred to as the United Aerospace Corporation.

Famous quotes containing the words origin and, origin and/or design:
“We have got rid of the fetish of the divine right of kings, and that slavery is of divine origin and authority. But the divine right of property has taken its place. The tendency plainly is towards ... “a government of the rich, by the rich, and for the rich.””
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“The essence of morality is a questioning about morality; and the decisive move of human life is to use ceaselessly all light to look for the origin of the opposition between good and evil.”
—Georges Bataille (1897–1962)
“With wonderful art he grinds into paint for his picture all his moods and experiences, so that all his forces may be brought to the encounter. Apparently writing without a particular design or responsibility, setting down his soliloquies from time to time, taking advantage of all his humors, when at length the hour comes to declare himself, he puts down in plain English, without quotation marks, what he, Thomas Carlyle, is ready to defend in the face of the world.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
