{{MissionBriefing
|Funny you should ask: I was just about to contact you. Since you're about our best independent capsuleer, I think we need you on this one.  


Direct warp into Deadspace. No gate.
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.  


===Warp-In===
What's more likely, though, is that some explorers or salvage workers got trapped out there, or maybe even that some pirates have set up this phony distress call to lure unsuspecting rescuers out to their doom. In any case, I want it checked out, just in case there are actually some of our people still out there. Because of the potential danger, though, I'm only willing to send one of our best, most capable pilots out there. And that means you.


**Note:** Only the Special Forces Squadron that appears at 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.<br>
Go on out there and see what's causing this signal. You'll be well rewarded, as always.

'''Tips:'''
* No Energy Neutralizer Towers means this mission is Active Tank friendly
* Timed Spawns more often than not seem to aggro secondary teammates and drones
* Consider auto-targeting missiles and setting drones to “Aggressive” for when you are unable to target because of Jammers
* Each pocket’s final spawn of Jammers + Scramblers can trap one in prolonged HEAVY damage
* Warp-in’s max damage dealing of all ships: 2,418 hp/s (Kin: 72%, Therm: 28%)

2 x Cruisers (Taibu State Bajo/Samurai) orbits at 33k
* Mission occurs in normal space, so you can always warp to distances and to bookmarks farther away from the NPCs.
2 x Battleships (State Shukuro Shogun) orbits at 33k
* Warping to within 100km leaves plenty of distance that spreads out the aggro.
* Carriers NOS has a range of 150km.
* Fighters will immediately attack your drones when they spawn from the Carrier, but this can be used to your advantage
* Small Drones are invulnerable to the Fighters, as long as they are moving/attacking; and they are a great way to draw-off the Fighter's aggro.
* Have your small drones attacking the carrier when the fighters spawn.
* Mission is flagged complete after both Carriers are destroyed.

- Carriers NOS has a range of 150km<br>
- Fighters will immediately attack your drones when they spawn from the Carrier, but this can be used to your advantage <br>
- Small Drones are invulnerable to the Fighters, as long as they are moving/attacking; and they are a great way to draw-off the Fighter's aggro.<br>
- Have your small drones attacking the carrier when the fighters spawn. <br>
- Mission is flagged complete after both Carriers are destroyed<br>
