Just a few brief questions I still have after going through the tutorials.
Changing scenes in the editor seems
to swap out the items in the
hierarchy view. That’s fine, but is
there a way to have root-level,
project-level game objects?
If the answer to the above is no,
does that mean I have to connect to
my server anew for each scene? What
if I have a main scene and a second
scene open for options and they both
need server connections?
Thanks for your time to help me with this.

Not exactly, no. It’s a limitation in Unity’s design.
Once an object is loaded, you can tell Unity to keep it between level loads by calling DontDestroyOnLoad. Unfortunately, there’s no built-in way to make sure that a particular object exists in every level.
Some people just make sure to drop a particular prefab into every level. If you prefer a code-based solution, though, you might employ a singleton design pattern:
