STAR

From Doom Wiki

The STAR series of wall textures is found in both Doom and Doom II (with the exception of STARTAN1, which appears only in Doom). It is particularly associated with Doom Episode I (Knee-Deep in the Dead), in which its extensive use helps to give the levels their distinctive look, nicknamed techbase.

[edit] Texture name

The "STAR" part of the texture names is from "StarStruct, Inc.", a UAC contractor named in Tom Hall's original design document. StarStruct's design made for "bright shiny, high-tech buildings", reminiscent of the sleek style of 2001 - A Space Odyssey or, according to Hall, "Star Wars’ Imperial stuff".
