"Cool, I like how you worked in Arthur C. Clarke's 2001…"
That’s based on Gene Roddenberry's novelization of ST:TMP (and if Gene's own novel isn't canon then I don't know what is!).
It clearly references the aliens accelerating mankind's evolution and alien artifact found around Jupiter.
"…as well as a few other sources. Kind of add's to the possibilities for adventures."
Likewise the other stuff all comes out of licensed (but not necessarily cannon) ST stuff.
Just remember, even though it’s a vacuum,
