So, Lore-wise, what do you think was revealed based on the dialogue?

Personally, I find that most of the lore regarding the Operators was extended through the Mountain Pass while the Operator re-learns their powers. The dialogue from the Elder Queen must be talking about the Zariman, as she mentions things such as biomes being sabotaged, food stocks being depleted, and how in the end there were no crew, just the children (just how the Zariman was found according to Ember Prime's codes entry). What I think happened was the Zariman accidentally made the jump through the void and stayed there longer than usual, but with adults and children on board, perhaps a transport vessel. Being exposed to the Void either caused the adults to go insane, and caused them to destroy what provided for the crew,meaning the biomes and food stocks being raided, or maybe the panic of being stuck in the void caused it. However, the children (operators) were given their void powers, and perhaps seeing the adults go insane made the children hunt them down (the queen mentions hunting parties, and the operator can respond saying that they avoided the bloodshed, or hunted them (presumably the adults) depending on the players choice. Overall, the majority of the children hunted the helpless adults down using their powers which they embraced, while others hated their powers and what happened on the ship.

Aside from the Zariman, Teshin mentions the Yuvan theatre where he would have stood guard, and he explains the queen wants to become the Operator, through a means of possession. This connection hints that the Continuity is when Orokin are close to dying from old age, so they inhabit new bodies, most likely, as Teshin says "the young and exotic" through bartering...
