Overview
The Archive organizes the records that explain USS Kepler as a vessel, a crew, and a mission platform. It is not a replacement for the main Mission, Ship, Crew, or Logs sections. It is the supporting record beneath them.
Readers looking for orientation should begin with the mission framework, vessel record, crew manifest, and senior staff logs. Additional records will expand as Kepler's operational history develops.

Open RecordArchive Principle
The purpose of an archive is not simply preservation. It is continuity. Records allow institutions, crews, and communities to learn from what came before, notice what is changing, and remember why the work began.
