Why are there SO MANY brown dwarfs? (yiffit.net)

The most common star in both the real galaxy, and the game, are red dwarfs. There are about 1 brown dwarfs for every other star type IRL. Yet whenever I am going any long distance, the route is 90% unscoopable brown dwarf stars. The odds are insane. Is it just how the routing system works? Does the damn thing just purposely go out of its way to make every jump to a brown dwarf system or what? ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Brown dwarves are under 20% of the galaxy:

You could be in a region where they are more common, but more likely you're exaggerating for effect, while not recording the distribution scientifically.
