I'm not sure what the Doom 3 storyline is, but in Doom 1 you're a marine that was shipped to Mars (after assaulting a superior officer for ordering his soldiers to fire on civilians). The UAC use Phobos and Deimos to store radioactive waste, but for the last four years the military has been conducting secret projects on interdimensional travel, and have managed to open a gateway from Phobos to Deimos. The gateways grow unstable, and military 'volunteers' entering through them start babbleing vulgarities, bludgeoning anything that breathes, and finally suffering an untimely death of full-body explosion.
Suddenly, Deimos simply dissapears from the sky. You and the other marines are sent up to Phobos, but everyone dies except you. The gateway had opened a portal to Hell.
In Doom 2, you return home the hero, only to find that the forces of Hell have come to Earth and have killed billions across the world. A select few have built a giant spaceship to save the human race, but the only spaceport is under the control of the demons. You have to kill everything in the spaceport so the human race can flee from Earth and save itself.
