We've been picking up strange distress signals coming from the site of an old starship battle in <System>, dating back about 8 years or so, where several of our ships were lost. Now, it's possible, though unlikely, that there were some survivors aboard one of those wrecked ships and that they've just recently been able to repair their communications systems enough to send out distress signals. I say it's possible.  

'''Tips:'''

* Special Forces Squadron deals 1301hp/s (Kin: 71%, Therm: 29%)

* If triggered, initial Ghost Ship spawns will deal an additional 1390 hp/s (Kin: 73%, Therm: 27%)

* Have the “Types” column available in your overview if you want to separately identify each Special Forces tower type and ship

=== Warp-In ===

'''Note:''' Only the Special Forces Squadron that appears about 8 minutes after warp-in needs to be destroyed to complete this mission. However, if you approach to under 10km from the Ghost Ship, it will trigger numerous additional spawns that are optional to destroy. Realize that sometimes this accidentally occurs at warp-in. The Warp-In Beacon is 12km from the Ghost Ship, and your exact warp-in spot can be + or – 2.5km from this beacon. If your warp-in does not land you within the 10km proximity, and if you don’t want to trigger these spawns, then be sure to head away from the Ghost Ship after warp-in.

Objective group:

{{NPCTableHead|Special Forces Squadron (35–45km away at 8 minutes after warp-in}}
