Item prices, weapon damage, enemy armor, level routes and boss lists are generated from the Tyrian 2000 data files that ship with the game, so they match what you meet in play. Background on the original game comes from the public sources listed on Sources and credits, rewritten in our own words. The Tyrian forum, the original game and other fan sites are on Community and resources.
