The Ghost Ship is an enemy encountered while traversing through the Junon Underwater Reactor underneath Junon. The enemy can be changed by the Morph materia to get the Guide Book. Its only attacks are a physical, a Fire attack, and Goannai, which instantly removes a party member from battle. When fought in the Battle Square, this makes the Ghost Ship highly dangerous as Goannai cannot be blocked and can thus instantly end the player's challenge.
The ability St.Elmos Fire is named after the electrical phenomenon that usually appears at sea during a thunderstorm.
Synopsis
In the 23rd Century: After a brief shore leave on an uninhabited world in the Relgar system Captain Edwards and the crew of the USS Montana are called to investigate an attack in the neighboring system of Epsilon. The Epsilon system is home to Yeager Outpost a top secret facility involved in research involving dilithium "re-crystallization" . Starfleet fears the Klingons are attacking Yeager Outpost to gain a foothold in Federation Territory. The Montana enters the Epsilon system ready to do battle with any Klingon ships in the area and discover that while the weapon signatures on the scorched outpost are Klingon a Romulan warship decloaks and attacks them without warning. In the ensuing battle Edwards discovers the identity of his enemy, Commander Vellar. Vellar threatens Edwards to leave but in the brief firefight the Montana unleashes a flurry of weapons fire forcing the attacker to withdraw. When Vellar withdraws the Montana moves in to beam down medical teams to the base when the Romulan warship starts on a collision course. The Montana fires again, this time disabling the Romulan attacker. Seconds later the Montana starts to be pulled towards a rip in the space time continuum that they can't break free from. The ship and crew find themselves in good mechanical condition and start to head back to Yeager outpost. Before they can get back to the planet they are intercepted by the USS Yorktown under the command of Captain Klein. Klein informs them that they have travelled into the 24th century...

The Ghost Ship Moraine regularly crosses the harbor zones of Paragon City, eternally searching for a way home.
At irregular intervals, the Ghost Ship will spawn in Independence Port or Talos Island and make its way across the zone. As it crosses or passes near land, Spectral Passengers will be spawned in groups on the surrounding land. These ghosts are lvl 25 opponents that will aggro on any hero that approaches them, reguardless of level difference.
Ghost Ships will spawn anywhere in the range of 1 minute to 36 hours in a zone after another Ghost Ship has exited the same zone. Ghost Ships can exist in Independence Port and Talos Island simultaneously.
Since the Ghost Ship is technically an untargetable NPC, it has the capacity for powers. When inside the Ghost Ship, you will be affected by Spectral Chill.
Spectral Chill -Accuracy -Damage
The Ghost Ship has passed through you. You felt its Spectral Chill in your bones. Your accuracy and damage have been greatly reduced.
Defeating 50 Spectral Passengers from the Ghost Ship will earn heroes the Ectoplasmic Badge
| Ectoplasmic You have held back the forces of the afterlife in their eternal struggle to break through to the mortal world. |
