X4 Foundations : 24 discovered SCA freeport surrounded by Xenon Capital ships

While attempting to complete a mission in the Hatikvah chain, I was directed to bomb an SCA freeport which I discovered in a new sector. That SCA freeport was surrounded by multiple Xenon Hs and Xenon Ks. I have never seen anything like it. I decided to give up on the mission for the time being and tried to obtain the Hyperion instead. That's when I discovered I made the mistake of selling all my Programmable Field Arrays.
