Mission briefing

A personnel transport was detected flying through <System>, reportedly wearing the logo of a corporation within the Minmatar Republic. Our surveillance team scanned the transport ship and discovered a few prominent professors among the passengers, who we would very much like to get our hands on. I want you to ambush the convoy and bring the VIPs back to me, you can do whatever you want with anything or anyone else you find on board, they aren't worth our time. I expect the professors back here in no less than 24 hours, in good condition if possible. We expect to receive a mighty high ransom for people as important as this.

Note: The last Minmatar Personnel Transport dropped the VIPs. It is enough to kill only the haulers to complete the mission. The only standings loss is from killing the 'Republic Fleet Officer', and it is quite a large loss (over 0.25). Otherwise all enemies can be killed without standings impact.
