A Heart for Pirates Mission (Spoiler)

[MHDriver]

So I've had this mission active for a couple of weeks now trying to figure out why it would not complete. I cleared everything that I could find from all the systems and still nothing. Well when I logged in today there was a nav marker with a route out into Tharka's Cascade XVII that pointed to a group of Xenon that were 7700km out in open space. When I arrived they were marked with mission target markers so I was hopeful. Seriously though, 7700km and below the reference plane to boot? Well at least they finally showed up I guess along with an Argon Colossus but finally the mission is complete.

Yes, sometimes, they build station far, far, far beyond the map.

Hearing this I'm just glad we have the Asgard now.
You can send it off and not worry that it'll die if you forget to attend to it.

had same "problem": I had the mission but it was not active.
Did cleanup manually.
Destroyed bunch of construction sites which spawned all around.
But was able to complete the mission only after made it active and after it pointed me to targets I need to kill.
I am not even sure who I need to blame.

Hello, may I ask how do I start this mission?
