Extraction metadata used for this package is in [`archive/meta.json`](archive/meta.json). Paths inside that file point at the extraction workspace, not at paths on this site. The unmodified share transcript (`archive/raw-share.md`) is kept in the GitHub repository only and is **not** uploaded here.

## What was copied from the downloads

These four files are the Markdown downloads from the share. The product name inside them is **334 Cepheus**. The names they had when downloaded are recorded in `archive/meta.json`.

| In this package | Download name (as saved from the share) |
| --- | --- |
| `license/334_Cepheus_License.md` | `Kimi_Cepheus_License.md` |
| `supplements/adventure-template.md` | `Kimi_Cepheus_Adventure_Template.md` |
| `supplements/asymmetric.md` | `Kimi_Cepheus_Asymmetric.md` |
| `supplements/weight-of-stars.md` | `Kimi_Cepheus_Weight_of_Stars.md` |

The share used a different product name; this package uses 334 Cepheus, including in the Product Identity designation and the Section 15 copyright line that names this ruleset. The Wizards of the Coast and Cepheus Engine copyright lines are unchanged.

## What was extracted from the transcript

`core/` is the polished rules text.

- Parts 1 and 3–10 appear once as finished sections.
- Part 2 (Character Creation) appears twice in the share. The file here is the later complete draft.
- `core/00-introduction.md` is the introduction written after the ten parts.

Supplements complete in the transcript and included here: Synthetics, Minds & Machines; Xenosophonts; The Indifferent Dark; The Indifferent Dark — Psionics & Dread; Modular Starcraft Design; Chrome & Static; plus the downloaded Asymmetric, Weight of Stars, and Adventure Template books.

## Cleaning and known gaps

Extracted files drop conversation chrome (prompts such as "next", planning asides, accessibility heading references). Rules prose, tables, and examples were kept.

Blank cells that appear in a few tables in the share (for example some 1D66 rows, a truncated “Who Is This For?” cell, and a few Effect rows) were **left blank**. They were not filled in for this packaging, and no new mechanics were invented. Sample ships in Modular Starcraft that the share recalculated in the open keep the last build the share presented.

A space the share inserted between closing bold markup and following punctuation was removed (`**8** .` → `**8**.`). Wording was not rewritten for that fix.

## Relation to OpenSRD and SystemReferenceDocument

- [OpenSRD](https://334digital.com/opensrd/) on this site is a clean-room HTML packaging of the Cepheus Engine System Reference Document Open Game Content (orffen/cepheus-srd). It is a separate Cabinet object.
- The repo’s `SystemReferenceDocument/` folder is an archival Mongoose Traveller SRD, not the Cepheus Engine SRD. Its proprietary Traveller text was **not** pulled into 334 Cepheus.
