Okay found it...

First the accepted "what is it" answer from that discussion:

During the passage of the "Operation: Dreadnaught" bill, PanGalactic was awarded contract renewal to maintain and service the UPF's fleet of battleships despite challenge by Streel. Passage of OD brought further smiles to PGC executives as the resulting orders increased for construction of more battleships.

But Streel executives weren't frowning. As a contingency plan, their new shipyard in Cassidine was scheduled to pump out an all new and updated Heavy Cruiser design with modern features that will blow away the original leftovers from the first Sathar War. CEO Hilo Headow was quoted as saying "We're confident that once all this gets underway, our new cruisers will become the mainstay capital ship of UPF fleets. Add to that, they cost less and we can produce them quicker than our competition's battleships. There's a certain advantage to being number two: it lets the competition know that there's something uncomfortable up their butts, and when it's all said and done they can't resist stealing a look behind them to see what it was." Spacefleet is considering the purchase of no fewer than three of the new craft, assuming the prototype lives up to Streel's marketing promises.

To that end, the two low-grav M-class moons of Cygnus Omicron as well as the asteroid belt are rich in mineral deposits that get shipped to Streel's Cassidine shipyards for production of their fleet-scale warcraft (the aforementioned Heavy Cruiser design and several carrier designs as well) along with production of their new "Big Bang" atomic drives (Streel's answer to the Pan Galactic "Eureka"), thus fulfilling the "galactic peace" portion of their mission statement.

However, behind the smoke and mirrors of their mission statement those minerals also go out to at least one unknown location intended for the mass-production of their S-series fighter craft (possibly New Streel), and the gases are also shipped out for use as fueling the solar/ion drives of said fighter craft that they contract out to various organizations.

The S-series fighter craft, utilizing a basic hull and drive configuration, is a low cost and low maintenance fighter platform. Rather ineffective on their own, those craft perform very well in groups (particularly in the hands of skilled/seasoned pilots). Both militias of Pale and New Pale utlize multiple squadrons of the S-series craft for routine patrol and inspection, as do several of the floating cities of Cygnus Omicron (including CO-9). Many smaller civilian (and criminal) operations have contracts with Streel for these fighters, some of which have become the bane to the Frontier's Star Fighter Corps.

A colonial revolt took place during the exploration of Zebulon at one of Streel's funded floating cities, Cygnus Omicron IX. Rumors abound pointed to Pan Galactic as a major source of the upheaval (along with unproven allegations that PanGalactic funded the Star Devil pirates to thwart Truane's Star's exploration of said system), but some evidence puts Leotus XVIII loyalists in the spotlight of blame for the CO-9 catastrophe. It is widely known that the feud between Streel and Clarion's government is a bitter rivalry that dates back to the founding of the megacorp. Streel applied some political pressure on the local governors to settle that skirmish quickly via a massive police action, and as a result little was gained during the investigations afterward, at least based on what information was made public.

Upper level Streel executives, operatives, and managers have enjoyed a strong influence over the representatives of Pale and New Pale, after all who can argue what a great contribution Streel is to the economies of both planets? As a result Streel oftentimes gets favorable results during the Council of Worlds meetings held each month, especially when it comes to launching campaigns against their bitter adversary on the other side of the Frontier. Nay, Clarion's local 20 year ban against Streel (which expires soon) has done little to deter them, business analysts across the Frontier predict that any corporate wars that may erupt in the near future could be staged in the proximity of White Light.

I'm not overly fond of Zeb's Guide...nor do I have any qualms stating why. 

My SF website

Dear Tch:

Interesting idea regarding Cygus Onmicron and where you decided to place it.

If I may share a bit of a wrte up I did for my campaign on Truane's Star where I tried to combine the information from the Dragon magazine article and the fan-created information in Star Frontiersman.

Trade Routes

Once touted as “the far end of the Frontier,” Truane’s Star has become an important link in the Zebulon Pass through the Lesser Morass and the Xagyg Dust Nebula to the Rim Sector.

Cygnus Omnicron – Distance: 5 light years

 Dixon’s Star – Distance: 5 light years

Zebulon – Distance: 5 light years through the “Zebulon Corridor

..A year later a major food transport to Pale was sabotaged; a Husp faction claimed responsibility to protest the “oppression and manipulation” of New Pale by Pale’s government. Pale sent military ships to orbit New Pale to protect vital food shipments. New Pale’s citizens protested and called for UPF intervention.

Even as the Zebulon project remained shelved, Pale opened the star route to Cygnus Omnicron, a binary star system through the Lesser Morass Dust Cloud. A number of Palonite licensed mining colonies were established by various companies including Streel, Pan-Galactic, and the Cassadine Development corporations. The ninth planet was especially attractive to the mega-corporations for its rich resources.

Pale also licensed Galactic Overall Development Corporation (GODCo) to begin terraforming Cygnus Omnicron IV and VI..

The wiki site also had a write up on the binary systems on the two-dimensional Frontier map, so I altered one -- not on the site but for my own materials -- to read this way:

The Standard Map of The Frontier and The Rim includes fourteen binary systems (three of these in Rim space), not including the Formad Cluster.

Most binary systems are classified as “uninhabitable” due to a lack of suitable planetary bodies therein; this is not to say that they are actually uninhabited: most have asteroid and (Kuiper belts and cometary shells, as well as minor rocky or gaseous planets that may house mining ventures, research facilities or even secret military, corporate or pirate bases.

Cygnus Omicron (Binary Star H-D). This system is 4 light years (LY) from Dixon's Star, 5 LY Truane’s Star and 3 LY from Belnafaer. The eccentric nature of this system makes it a challenge to navigate and, combined by the “Veil's Train” of the Lesser Morass, make a direct route from Dixon's Star to Scree Fron a practical impossibility. Truane’s Star opened a star route to this system and is sponsoring its development, including terraforming two small planets..
