Unrecognizable noise has started flooding Shani's radars, and she can't pinpoint the origin of these phantom targets. Raider assistance is needed to improve antennas on the surface, and track ARC behaviour for any changes.

Phantom Targets is a Project that started on August 4th, 2026 and ends September 6th, 2026.
