This.
Any cargo that can be destroyed will be destroyed.
Human cargo will be returned to the closest base via whoever has a transport around at the time and just RP it off as a rescue operation.
If you don't happen to have a transport logged at the time, find the nearest civilian trader and strong-arm them into retrieving the floating people. Of course, you'd have to be careful who you enlisted...or they might just re-enslave the poor souls...
