Back when I had the Bastet I used to patrol the area around the omicron 90 jumphole in alpha all the time - but more often than not it was to keep an eye on the phantoms, not on the nomads or outcasts. It was never a priority for the order to send massive fleets into that area of space though - sure, there are nomads present, but we try to avoid conflict with human factions whenever possible; initiating a conflict with the outcasts would be a severe waste of resources and fleet power, especially when we're already dealing with the corsairs and their allies turning on us.
