Cool!
So, soon the space miners will need an outlet during their inevitable rivalries....
Might I recommend a.. maybe a series of gruesome matches.. a tournament if you will....
In 2291, in an attempt to control violence among deep space miners, the New Earth Government legalized no-holds-barred fighting.
Liandri Mining Corporation, working with the NEG, established a series of leagues and bloody public exhibitions. The fights' popularity grew with their brutality.
Soon, Liandri discovered that the public matches were their most profitable enterprise. The professional league was formed; a cabal of the most violent and skilled warriors in known space, selected to fight in a Grand Tournament.
Now it is 2341. 50 years have passed since founding of DeathMatch. Profits from the Tournament number in the hundreds of billions.
You have been selected to fight in the professional league by the Liandri Rules Board. Your strength and brutality are legendary.
The time has come to prove you are the best. To crush your enemies. To win the Tournament.
Unreal Tournament GOTY let's fucking go!
exactly!
