Also I think someone, maybe Christopher, gave a overview some time ago of the old continuity pre-Richard Arnold.

Do you mean sharing of original characters? Security Chief Ingrit Thompson (with various misspellings of both names?) was shared by three or four novelists of the day, and Naraht the Horta popped up in a few places beyond Diane Duane. A few authors used an alien alternate communications officer, the grey-skinned Mahase, an Eseriat. A few also used the tentacled Sulamids as crewmen. Other than those, original characters and alien races usually only returned in sequels to an author's own work.
