QUAKE CODEX
A Quake Universe fanfic by Lyubomir Ivanov
Quick Introduction
Whoa, finally – after countless delays, setbacks, and even a kitchen accident that nearly resulted in losing a finger (oops), I finally see a Quake Codex that has taken shape. And more importantly – the first chapter is ready to be posted here! This project began several years ago but was constantly stalled by lack of time, lack of energy or simply lack of motivation.
Those of you who follow me know that I mostly focus on Doom-related stuff since this is my all-time favorite game, one that I grew up with through the often turbulent 1990's. But, I love anything done by the masters at id Software and I believe I have played pretty much everything they have created – from Commander Keen and Wolfenstein 3D & Spear of Destiny all the way to Rage and the latest Doom. And every bit of this journey through the ages is epic and breathtaking.
Quake is another series I have played and enjoyed a lot over the years – from my humble beginnings around 1998 with the original DOS Quake, to present day, when I am one of the admins at the Quake Wiki.
Quake is actually a pretty good series for fan fiction because most of it is marked by a major lack of in-depth lore, leaving huge gaps. The Strogg storyline is better developed and fleshed out, of course, but the original Quake and Quake 3 have only rudimentary backstory and in-game plot details, so most of my efforts were focused onto them. This work shall focus primarily on locations, though other things may be included as addenda.
Anyway, enough chit-chat. Time for some Quake!
