Of course a disabled human in the GA must be disposed of, so that would also put Kugel in a delicate position!

The two AI don't appear programmed for that. In their culture the sick get culled, not the injured. They seem to have advanced medicine as Chamber seems to convey such.
If Striker has that much power does that mean that there is a possibility that Galactic Alliance is ruled by some sort of cyborg... the leadership of the Alliance may be a fusion of man and machine.
Anyhow, it could also just be that Striker went rampant.
Kugel is alive. Striker would be programmed to follow Ledo otherwise, unless it operated under different rules than Chamber. He's in suspended animation or playing Wizard of Oz within an isolated area of his fleet.
