Could it be that Nomads are made a bit tougher and there are more rewards for going into the edge world systems, such as better comodities and maybe more weapondry etc.?
I thought these were meant to be where no one dared enter and that only the brave entered and its not really like that.
I just feel things arnt as 'mysterious'.
I tend to ignore nomad areas.
Not much of interest, as you say.
That aside, I agree with you. At the moment, the only thing in the Unknowns are Nomads and Asteroids. The only threat in the edge worlds are Titan-equipped corsairs.
Perhaps a "Deep Space 1" out in the Unknowns, constantly under siege by Nomads and suchlike.
Oodles of fun, but StarTrek fans may hate us for the name.
Who cares about Star Trek, i hate it.

Anyway, yeah I like Vanilla FL cuz it's mystical and creepy.
I think there should be more Hypergates, Dyson Spheres and nomads.
And yea nomads would be stronger, it's just that PC's have armor upgrades change the balance. Go to a Nomad - populated system in an Anubis without an armor upgrade - thats what it should be like.
I suggested that 10 times in the bugs and suggestions.
WE NEED MISSIONS AGAINST NOMADS!
And more ruins.
