What is the "Abandoned Gate Keeper"?

I found a station called "Gate Keeper" in such a far place from the star where no one should search for it: more than 10000 ls away, perfectly to the right of the screen. (How do we define directions in space, on a 2d projection?)
It was in the first system after St.Katherine.

It is visible only on the map and radar, and I can not dock to it or gate through it, and shots pass through it. On the radar it appears as a destroyed friendly station. I searched for it on the forum, Wiki, and Google, without success. What is it? Something super-secret, or just some planned but unfinished feature? I use a couple of mods, so one of them might have added it, but besides "StelliFer" no other should have done anything similar.

What are the mods you're using? Some mods use event handlers, which are stations that are way off or are invisible.

StelliFer, orescan, Log, Cartography, and some ship mods.
Thanks for the answer, at least now I know it's not part of gameplay.

Sounds like Stellar Cartography.

It is a station that is in game to run some events. It is not meant to be player interactive. It is a technique that we used some time ago. Today it would most likely be less visible. My recommendation is just to pretend you did not see it, or, if it annoys you, find out what mod added it, and play without that mod.

10000 ls away from the sun is pretty far away, i wonder why you ventured so far in empty interstellar space ?

It's one of Prophet's mods I think. If you give us a list of your mods it would make the search a lot easier, but older mods will probably have it.
Btw, 10,000 ls is kinda far from home, isn't it? It would be nice to have some neat easter egg that far besides an old mod

(maybe a new system, perhaps?)

I have never heard of this, but then again I haven't used mods much till now.
