In Countdown Blake says Provine was connected to Central Control. Provine appears to be in the 'same age group' as the others - but does not know where Central Control/Star One is. What exactly was his connection with CC/SO? Going by the information given in Pressure Point and Star One can one assume that persons at any intermediate 'holding point' for CC was 'treated' so they could not contact the rest of the Federation (apart from an 'emergency alarm')? My guess is that whatever the term 'Central Control' actually represented would have to be moved from 'Star One' when the extragalactic space program actually got going.
