Imperial Officers

Captain Chang commands the Imperial cruiser, HMS Isis, in "Outpost of Empire" and Admiral Thomas Walton's flagship in "Tiger By The Tail." Walton has become a Fleet Admiral in "Hunters of the Sky Cave." This is good future history character continuity.

Lieutenant Dominic Flandry is under Admiral Julius in A Circus Of Hells. Lieutenant Commander Flandry receives his secret orders from Vice Admiral Kheraskov in The Rebel Worlds. Captain Flandry's superior has become Admiral Fenross in "Hunters of the Sky Cave" and "The Warriors from Nowhere." In A Knight Of Ghosts And Shadows, Flandry, still Captain, receives his orders directly from Emperor Hans but suggests that Hans should:

"'...tip the word to - better be none less than Kheraskov - I'll contact him as soon as may be and make arrangements.'"

-Poul Anderson, A Knight Of Ghosts And Shadows IN Anderson, Sir Dominic Flandry: The Last Knight Of Terra (Riverdale, NY, March 2012), pp. 339-606 AT III, p. 383.

Flandry becomes a Vice Admiral in A Stone In Heaven and a Fleet Admiral in The Game Of Empire. We first saw him, in terms of fictional chronology, as Ensign Flandry under Commander Max Abrams and Admiral Enriques in Ensign Flandry.

That is quite a collection of Naval careers:
