Description
I took an assassination mission from a faction which was retreating from the current system, and killed the target.
The BGS ticked between the time I completed the mission objectives and the time I went to turn in the mission.
When I went to turn in the mission, the giving faction didn't appear in the mission board so I was unable to turn it in. I imagine this is because the faction's retreat completed when the BGS ticked and they were removed from the system, but there's no user interface indication of this so it's just my speculation.

This happened before the 3.0 update. I visited the station after the update to see if anything had changed, and the completed mission still couldn't be turned in.

Ideally, when a faction has been removed from a system, the game would still allow us to turn in missions that have already been completed. Failing that, the game should tell us the reason why the mission can no longer be turned in.


Steps to Reproduce
1. Take a mission from a faction which is retreating from the system.
2. Complete the mission objectives.
3. Wait until the BGS tick that completes the retreat.
4. Completed mission remains in the transactions tab, and the system/station have the "mission" indicator on the galaxy/system map, but the mission cannot be turned in at the mission board and must be abandoned manually. The UI doesn't give any feedback indicating that the mission cannot be turned in because the giving faction has retreated from the system.
