Wow, that's a really messed up scenario. I really am sorry to hear that your having a rough time of it. I'd like to make a couple of suggestions, many already made, to help you have some more fun in the game. I would also like you to know I feel you on the corp front, I started playing with a group of RL friends, and our intention from the start was to have our own corp, which we've done.
Eve, much like any other game with PvP, has areas which are "safer" than others, and then there are areas that are not not safe. They are honestly dog eat dog areas, and in my experience, limited though it may be, low sec is worse than 0.0. The reason, corps do their own regulating in 0.0, so it's much easier for pirates to operate in low sec. Now I realize that this is all basic information, but what most people are telling you here, in a not so nice way is that at 800K SP you are not ready for the big bad nasty that is low sec.
If you look at WoW PvP, and it is thought to be one of the more basic games, if you go into certain zones you are open game, Eve is the same. It may seem boring to stay in Empire, but with higher level missions, mining, and ratting you can keep yourself, and your corp occupied till your ready to go out of the "newbie" zones. You'll make a good deal of money, and some of the missions are kinda cool, and killing the occational Dread spawn will make you bank, or give you a really cool item for your ship. Basically take the game in baby steps, you'll enjoy it more that way anyhow. The game has a huge amount to offer, see what's there, and enjoy the ride. PvP is part of the trip, and it's never fun to get ganked, but you can learn from it, in this case; low sec is not for the light of heart or skills, I'm sure you've got the heart, your clearly passionate about the issue, but only time will get you the skills.
If you find yourself completely stuck in the system, try talking to the gate campers, it may not be prideful, but tell em you bit off more than you can chew and you want to go back to Empire, most people will be reasonable, if you are. Also buy a shuttle, don't give them a target. The reasonable is important, I have always tried to compliment anyone I've fought outside of war, they are having fun, and trying to help you do the same. 9 times out of 10 they will give you good advice if your nice as well to help you out. And of course keep a list of the folks that kill you, later you will want to hunt them down and gut them like fish. lol.
