illegal take out all personnel missions

[AdagioKonrinzai]

I am missing something about these missions. I took one mission in a system, it said to kill 12 citizens of that faction, but all the settlements that faction owns are abandoned or are military bases who are not citizens. What am I missing?

The faction was in a negative state and the settlements abandoned. There was a mismatch between the mission and the situation on the ground. Is the faction present in any other systems?

Yes they are

 

[SteveWW57]

If it is just kill members of the faction without specifying the system, then go to a place where they are and do the business.

Sometimes it might be worth checking Inara for the faction state (if up to date) before taking the mission.

I don't think the mission server knows if the target faction is under states which causes the settlements to be abandoned. So you may have taken an impossible mission.

I usually pass them over if they don't indicate a specific settlement for this reason

When I took them blindly, sometimes there's no suitable place to go, awww phooey!
