On the other hand, they could've just put "Failed" instead, if the Huntsman who took the mission was KIA. Far less vague.

"Terminated" isn't just that someone was murdered, but simply that something was brought to an end, like, say, someone's employment.

In a way, it is just neutral. The mission boards don't provide actual Mission status, they provide the Huntsman's status during the mission. "In progress", "On hold", or just "Terminated". Not saying they got killed or that they didn't finish the mission, but that the Huntsman's services to whoever employed them were terminated.
