Intruigingly low-mass sector

In exploring during the Odyssey Expedition, I found near waypoint 8 that the systems in the Hypou Briae sector are unusually low-mass for their mass class. I was informed that the mass classes in a sector are scaled based on the heaviest system in said sector, so this means that the whole sector is probably pretty low mass. If anyone is bored I would be interested to see the statistics on mass-class of a system versus the mass contained in said system and the number of bodies. (probably just pull from EDSM or Spansh)
In example of a system that seems too light for its mass class, I have the system map of a d-mass system composed purely of 2 brown dwarfs. (yes I did honk and check there are no more bodies)

I live for things like this. Little quirks to the forge and systems most people would yawn at. It is a great pleasure, out in the black, to be 'following your nose'.

EDIT: TL;DR : there are "corridors" stretching out from the Bubble which suppress the normal stellar forge star formation logic (to simplify adding the hand-crafted systems in and around the Bubble). If you happen to be within one of these corridors, things are "weird". And yes, FDev ackowleged that this was an unintended side-effect, but too late to fix now.

Ah, of course. Should've looked at where the system actually was...
