need help in final battle mission "search and destroy"

I was playing final battle and I got the mission search and destroy. I'm supposed to destroy a confed battle group that's been destroying convoys then go back to palshife. I've searched in all the systems surrounding palshife, I even went into the turgati asteroid belt. But, I still can't find them. Does anyone know where the battle group is? Thanks in advance.
