confirmed...78k xp...2 commendations...and no one was in deep space when I went there on Corbantis...
few more details though...(for those of us who haven't been to deep space before)
first...
deep space is a pvp zone...so if you go out there watch your back for the opposite faction
second...you can do this in a ship other than the Y-8...I went out to deep space in my interceptor fitted with a mining laser and cargo hold and I was able to get credit for the stuff I mined...just watch out for the asteroid bandits that sometimes pop...they're tier 5 out there...
To get to deep space - Imperials:
to get out to deep space go to the Durillium Sea Hyperspace point in Endor Space and visit the Imperial base (called the Imperial Claw Station, there is a POI) closer to endor from the hyperspace point (distance varies...I've had it as close as 3km and as far as 12km depending on where I hyperjumped to) (there's one out further but it won't let you into deep space)
Rebel: (someone please give the details on this...)
Rebel one I've heard is in dantoine (?) but I'm not sure.
(Freelancer doesn't matter since the quest is only either Imperial or Rebel)
according to this post:

to get credit for this quest you have to actually visit deep space (that's the first step of the quest)...so either your group members need to be aboard your POB/multi-person ship or they need to fly out there themselves. Also to get to deep space you don't need to be an Ace pilot like the url above says...anyone can get to deep space...(as far as I know, haven't tested to see if yachts can get out there, I'll test that tomorrow night)
remember to empty your cargo hold when you get back to Restuss...I forgot the first time...
