Here’s the description given to this ship by the game. Well, not so mysterious after all, after looking at the details of this ship below.
This invader ship you captured remains a mystery.
Main Weapon
High Impact, 20 DPS
Cannon has Perfect Tracking (Rotation Speed = 200) that locks on to an Invader mount point until the Invader is destroyed. (Stays locked on to turret mount even if turret is destroyed.)
Shoots out 3 consecutive non-homing & projectiles with a speed of 262.5 (Slow), projectile hit circle radius of 4, and a Rate of Fire of 0.12s that travel in straight lines. Has a Reload Time of 0.35s.
Aura
Invader Shield.
Works like a 360° Phalanx . Breaks after 26 Bullets / 2.08s per laser are absorbed.
Invader bullets fired inside the shield can still hit you, but will be absorbed if they hit the inside of the shield.
It takes 60 energy to deploy the shield (like Phalanx ). Any further energy collected beyond that is disregarded until the shield is deployed.
Has a Fade Out / Invulnerability Time of 0.3s after depleted, just like Phalanx .
Zen
Charges a tracking laser, which works similar to the Tracking Minigun.
Base Charge Time is 1.8s
The Total Duration of the laser is 3.0s
The DPS is 50, so the total damage is 150
Charge Time Increase is +2.0s
Time to recover 1 charge is 4s (−0.5s per sec)

Commander Khier	Post Mission	Well done, pilot. You've presented us with a unique opportunity. I'll brief you on your next mission.

Trivia 2: The Captured Raven ship has actually been made ready for use since May 2017 according to the devs. The devs even experimented with making a Captured Vulture, although development never got far enough. However, the Captured Raven was removed from the update back then since they did not want to commit to the concept. This ship was supposed to have the same Invader hit circles as a Sinister Raven as well as a sizeable health that allowed it to survive a few hits. Its Aura was supposed to be Repair Nanites, which allowed it to recover health, while the Zen was the same as the one implemented today. However, the concept didn't work out great and was cancelled back then.

Here's an exclusive development footage (dated May 19, 2017) kindly provided by the devs on early gameplay of this ship, including the use of the Repair Nanites Aura.

Trivia 3: Interestingly, if you look carefully at the shape of the Invader Shield deployed as shown below, it follows the shape of an Assault Raven, instead of a Sinister Raven that you are piloting.

Mission Description: Armed with an Invader ship, you venture once more into enemy territory…
Mission Intel:
Other Bullets: Darts, Pellets

Special Notes:
You can only use the provided Captured Raven to clear this mission. The details of this ship are already detailed in Campaign Mission #13.
