<section begin=Spotlight />The USS Apparition is a special operations vessel under the command of [[Star Fleet Special Operations Command]] (SOCOM) and based at [[Area 42]]. It is a classified vessel which features many pieces of experimental equipment. The Apparition is typically one of the first ships to get new advances in technology.
The Apparition's mission profile centers around covert armed reconnaissance and rapid response missions. As such, it possess specialized technology to help it achieve success in its missions. The ship's hull is black and features no name or identifier that would label it a Star Fleet vessel. Its dark hull-plating and sensor scrambling technology allow it to hide in the black of space, appearing as a sensor glitch or ghost on other vessels' scanners. The Apparition also possess a stealth system, to completely cloak the ship during emergencies, and external holographic emitters, to disguise the appearance of the vessel and make it resemble small civilian or non-Federation ships. Speed is also key to the Apparition's mission success. The ship has been stripped of non-essential systems to lighten its mass and direct as much power as possible to its specialized engines. One of the primary things that Apparition lacks are standard offensive capabilities of most Star Fleet Vessels, having only one phaser bank for defense. The ship is not meant to be used in combat and must rely on its speed and technology to evade attackers. <section end=Spotlight />
