Why a jumpgate at Sigma 957?

An Explorer-class vessel looks for areas that look like likely
prospects for exploitation, or which are good for logistical or other
reasons, do a fast survey, drop a gate and move on. Nobody *knew* about
the problems in Sigma 957 until well after the gate was in place.

Generally, the race that builds the gate, owns it.
