This mission poses a dire threat to us. As you know, the local governments balance between cooperating with the big factions (and by extension, the Star Gods) and respecting the needs of the population and the voice of the Mutant Alliance. Here, a faction aims at coercing (ie. threatening) one or another local govt into being 'tough on crime' and taking more direct steps against felons like us. If we don't thwart the operation at an early stage, you can bet on the local govt to eventually succumb, sever any ties with us and stop paying the protection money - forever. To stop this mission from succeeding, we need to shoot down as many partaking vessels as possible (any ground assaults will be irrelevant - shooting down delivers a message, while attack on a landed ship is too little, too late).
