There's a Team Star logo in Penny's dorm room in Horizons, and I think that's the only reference to Team Star anywhere in the anime. As for the epilogue, Penny's concerns are that the captains will either be too weird to integrate back into the Academy (Giacomo, Ortega, Atticus) or they will raid the art supplies based on a rumor she heard (Mela, Eri). It's just weird that her concerns are entirely focused on the captains' negative or even hostile qualities, and not on how they may be harmed by the students, or even the faculty and administration. You'd think that, in a story focused around bullying, she'd be watching to make sure the captains aren't bullied like they were before. It makes me think she sees the captains in a negative light, even in the epilogue.
At this point, however, I'm not sure how Operation Starfall and Starfall Street in general will end. There's a good chance that unlike in canon S/V, where all the captains seem to have the same opinion of Penny and want to be friends with her, here, Penny will form different relationships with the different captains, assuming she ever meets them at all (once again, Atticus notwithstanding). If Penny does meet the captains, and if she gets over her low opinion and bitterness towards them (which will be far harder here than in canon), she is most likely to be friends with Atticus, followed by Giacomo. Normally, I'd say that she'd have a good chance of being friends with Eri, and that would be true in canon, but here, there's the entire issue of Violet when it comes to the chances of Penny and Eri becoming friends.
I suspect that Horizons takes place after S/V, with Nemona, Penny, and Arven being friends (or at least standing together), and Briar mentioning that she'd encountered a Terapagos before, which lines up with Indigo Disc. But that's neither confirmed nor denied officially.
I don't think that Violet would compare Penny to Chalce, since she wouldn't want to insinuate that Penny would be willing to murder and torture her enemies (or order others to do so). It's enough to compare her to what Team Star has become. It's also unclear how much of Penny's actions were motivated by wanting to gather power. Violet suspects that forming Team Star and then trying to disband them is a power play on Penny's part, which discounts how much of Penny's actions are motivated by her social anxiety. She's terrified of confrontation, and therefore uses her anonymity and control to reduce the possibility of a confrontation occurring. If a confrontation is forced to happen, as in this chapter, she resorts to being abrasive and striking the other person where it hurts, as she did to Violet.
