Don't think gamma is unknown.
The installation of the game mentions Gamma as 'suspected to house large numbers of corsairs'.

The Corsairs WISH it was unknown, and delude themselves into thinking it... but it's not. My latest RP*, though, my character gambles his way into landing rights on Crete. THAT would be the hard part -- landing on the Corsair base. Moving through is easy...

The jumpholes are meant to be hard to find and probably not on official maps, but there are consistent rumours of their existance on the Freeports in Omega 41 and Omicron Theta. They aren't totally unknown.

The one in O-41 is like 7k from the base... how hard is that to find? I mean, NPCs must be blind or something...

The NPCs actually ARE blind, or at least mentally challenged, FYI

EDIT: Also there is a closer JH: in omega-5 I think, the omega-3 JH is within sight range of another one (<2.5k=ridiculous)
However, from personal experience the NPCs from each area know where the jumpholes are (except for some added in discovery but not updated into rumors) and are sometimes willing to sell their location. I think it would be fair to say that a patient, personable trader or special ops would know the routes where they operate, and if they needed something would feel comfortable taking them, as long as they were on friendly terms with BHG. (I've tried open-SP as unfriendly with them; they're EVERYWHERE... and incredibly stupid, as the link shows)

It's evident from one of those Info-people from the bar that the Corsairs keep Gamma a secret through the use of force. Anyone leaking the location of the jumphole would most likely die a horribly accidental death.
"What? What's Gamma ... Never heard of it."
"But you can see the Jumphole from the window..."
"I NEVER HEARD OF IT!"
My vote gets the Cambridge -> O 5 -> Theta route, as it doesn't go through any guard systems, or any forbidden systems. Also, from the bars around Cambridge, it seems as though the Brets don't know exactly where the Jumphole is, but they know it's inside the ice cloud.

Well, according to a little lady on Crete, it's not exactly accidental...
("Ever been keelhauled through a jump-hole in a Vac-Suit before?")
