A '''Rogue Signal Source''' is a type of [[System Signal Sources|signal source]] which is visible at ranges of several light years. They were first detected moving from the Orion Complex towards the bubble in 3308, following [[Salvation|Salvation's]] failed deployment of the [[Anti-xeno superweapon|Proteus Wave]] in [[HIP 22460]].   

A rogue signal source has a spiraling light green flare appearance in flight, appearing progressively dimmer and redder with distance. The signal is emitted by a [[Thargoid Titan]] traveling at superluminal speed between star systems. During the initial Thargoid invasion of the human occupied bubble, their destination was always an [[Ammonia World]], around which they would deploy a [[Thargoid Maelstrom]]. The only time a Titan has been observed deploying around a non-Ammonia World was in the closing weeks of the conflict, when the final Titan (Cocijo) reverted to a Rogue Signal Source and traveled to the Sol system, redeploying around planet Earth<ref>Thargoid Presence in Sol - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXJF836bmIc</ref>. An update to the [[Full Spectrum System Scanner|FSS]] allows Pilots to zoom in to any active rogue signal sources, which will pick-up a churning bio-mechanical sound.  

Rogue signal sources travel at immense speeds, estimated to be in excess of 6,000 times the speed of light - far faster than any human craft before the development of [[SCO]] technology (which was itself a product of research into [[Titan Drive Component|Titan drive components]]).
