Ghost Ship
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Ghost Ships[1], or also known as Ghost Vessels[2], is the Imperial term for spacecraft that were thought lost, but somehow appear in Realspace for brief moments. This can occur both visually and on Auspex equipment, which are known as Auspex Phantoms.[1]
The term also applies to spacecraft that have been found abandoned and drifting through space. Sometimes this is for obvious reasons, such as their crews being killed during a boarding attack.[2]
