Ah, Xenos. It sounds like you and I are after the same thing, and have come to the same conclusion. I'll tell you that you definitely want to go after the Xenos. I got on the bounty hunters' bad side for the "Mule" freighter, and I've spent a lot of time since then trying to repair the damage. Anyway, now I'm after the Dromedary myself. It's in the Magellan system, at a base controlled by the Hackers. In preperation, I scouted out all three of the Xenos bases. You'll find one located in the Colorado system. Scout the asteroid field around the New York jump gate.
A little more scouting along the left side of the Colorado sector will turn up a jump point leading to another system...whose name I forget right now. Be warned, the Xenos base located on the other side is located inside a radiation field. I was piloting a Humpback at the time, and I took about a 1/4 of my hull damage before I got docked.
The last Xenos base is located in the Hudson system. It's in an asteroid field on the lower edge of the map. I was hoping to find a supply depot that I could raid for a quick faction hit, but no dice. Still, these three bases are teeming with Xenos patrols, so you should be able to rack up kills pretty steadily. I would suggest fighting in the Colorado system. It's likely got the weakest Xenos fighters.
I haven't given up hope on finding a Xenos supply depot, but unless someone points it out on these boards, I'm not going to spend any more time looking for it.
