From the Dark Wheel's Codex entry:
If this information is correct our search for the Dark Wheel just got a whole lot easier.
I did some analysis of the systems that are located within a 200 ly cube centered on Sol, and the systems that have a gas giant with at least 8 moons only account for about 5% of the total 14,775 systems I checked. I plan on releasing a spreadsheet of those systems as well as some additional information such as if the system has a population and/or some local factions, and the distance the gas giants are from the main star.
My theory is that if the Dark Wheel station is located in any of those systems it will most likely be a system without other stations or factions, and the distance to the gas giant is going to be over 100,000 ls. My guess is that the station won't appear in your nav panel like regular stations, but something interesting might pop up when we get within 1,000 ls of the planet.
Ideally I would have prefered to search a bigger radius around Sol than 200 ly but that's the maximum distance the EDSM API will allow.
I'd be much happier had I been able to get all systems within 500 ly of Sol, but considering the age of the Dark Wheel, I don't really expect their station to be super far away from Sol, or the original Elite's "new worlds" (Lave, Leesti, etc).
Expect that spreadsheet to become available in the next day or two.
