An interesting thought. Do you think he was actually involved, or just worked out that someone of his eminence was likely to be approached, and that it would all end in mindwipe, so he jumped ship before they thought of asking him? -- Harriet

I would add that the group we see on Star One would be the 'curent batch' - the staff would have to be replaced from time to time.
Perhaps the Tariel Cell was the equivalent of the shift to microchips - it was only then that the computer power necessary for Star One as a nerve centre for the Federation (as distinct from an extra-galactic monitoring system) was feasible.
