In the 1990s, there were at least 3 separate shared universes for Star Trek games, each with their own unique recurring original characters, ship designs, and species.
MicroProse:
Interplay:
Activision:
Interestingly, Starfleet Command I & II were in the Interplay TOS-era shared universe, while Starfleet Command III was in the Activision TNG-era one.
A couple ship designs from both the Interplay-verse and the Activision-verse have shown up in Star Trek Online, notably the Federation fighters from Starfleet Command and Shattered Universe and the Federation carrier from Star Trek: Invasion.
Also Simon & Schuster produced a bunch of Star Trek games in that same era, but I don't think they had an ongoing storyline or recurring original characters/ships/factions between them like the other publishers did.

It's screenshot Saturday! Have a look at my WIP mech 4X game
If you like strategy games, you've probably played the Civilization series at some point. It's everywhere. It was one of the games we featur
I've been really bad about promoting my work for EIP on here, but I've got another article for y'all- this one's about the best 4X strategy games if you like Civilization but are looking to try something new!
A look at one of the cultures to be added: The Thule!
The Thule are uniquely adapted to the arctic, both on land and sea. Playing as the Thule you will be able to reach, live, and thrive in areas no one else could.
Qamutiik
A qamutiik is an early type of dog sled that still holds up today. It allows you to use dogs as travel animals, and you won't be slowed down by snow.
Umiak
An umiak is a large canoe made from hide stretched over wood or bone. The invention of the umiak allowed the Thule to catch and carry more meat from the seas. It becomes obsolete after researching trawling.
Sukkak
Sukkak is the Inuktitut word for whalebone. The Thule utilised whale bone in many different ways including boats, tools, shelter, and more. It acts as both wood and bone for building and manufacturing purposes and is gained from any source of whales.
Qajak
The kayak is a Thule invention, it provides some protection from the elements, is very robust, and can easily cut through icy waters. Although not useful in battle, a fleet of them is excellent at transporting groups of people.
