Have had this same scenario. No way in hell to catch them and still have enough fuel to get home.
Only suggestion I can make is to take out as much shipping as you can and perchance meet the tonnage requirements and satisfy the mission requirements and return home.
Im not sure if its tied to the specific TF or not. I know that 'sink enemy shipping' task once the star turns grey you can sink tonnage literally anywhere the location of the star is irrelevant.
