This quest is given from the Trando camp on Kashyyyk, NPC's name is Mssikss. I forget what the reward is, but believe it to be a ship weapon. The quest involves disabling a transport ship carring Wookiee Slave Collars, and destroying it's escort of Wookiee A-Wings.
- Mission: < Kashyyyk System: Collar Hunter >
- NPC Name: < Mssikss >
The bug I'm experiancing is that at no point (either before or after killing the A-wings) can I attack the transport ship to disable it. Shooting it results in the friendly fire warning sound. It flies it's path the hypers away. Mission failed.
Does anyone know how to disable this ship? I've looked through a number of forums, but no joy. Search is not working either.

I also cannot attack the escorts... There is a mission from the othe "slaver camp" that involves escorting a convoy up to the avatar, and the same fighters attack. They are also unattackable.

I posted a message like this a while back that Tomo saw and responded to.
I just completed this quest tonight - bugs and all...I just kept shooting at the things (especially the Y-Wings when they spawned). Shooting them, while not damaging to them, seemed to divert them off course. Try flying through them as well to make them turn - if they sense a collision, I think they automatically turn away and break lock.
I got the ship to hyper out at about 50% condition and was able to keep the Y-Wings from shooting missiles, I think.

I did notice something in earlier runs, though:
If you disable and take over the transport, then make an inner-system hyper jump to the Neutral WP, the escorts go white and form up behind the ship again - and do a halfway decent job of screening the transport's rear from attacks.

Thanks folks. 
I'll try playing around with intersystem jumps and other ideas I have.
I'll post if I find a workaround.

The hyperjump may work for people who have white escorts, but I don't think it will work for you with a white transport. I had the same problem, and my solution ended up being to bringa guildmateof a different squad. He said everyone was yellow, and disabled the transport for me.
Let's start here to try and narrow down the bug so we can report on it more clearly in the main bug thread. Everyone post pilotsquad and what part of the spawn was white for you.
Squad: Corsec
Spawn: Transport Invulnerable

You're right, the hyperjumping didn't work at all. Hopefully a guildie can help out.
I also tried calling a pirate trap, then jumping out. I later saw the transport captian and the pirates sharing a laugh and a drink in Theed cantina. 
But yes, good idea about the factions and squads.
Faction: Neutral
Squad: RSF
Cannot Attack: Transport
So, let's hear from the rest of ya.

The problem I encountered was that I could disable the freighter, but the escorts were unattackable. Eventually, they were able to destroy the freighter because I was unable to defend it. I've bugged this in game and listed it in the Issues thread.
