Hmm… according to Freeman’s intel… the Mystery ship was seeking out Lorcano… but as far as I can tell… he’s the mastermind.
Why would he want to find himself?
The intel was "someone's targeting ex-Starfleet officers". The dialogue then suggests Starfleet command put together the list of former officers. They didn't necessarily pull those names from the intel.
With Seven on the list, I wondered if this might be the origin of the Fenris Rangers. By collecting ex-Starfleets and lower deckers, Nick Locarno is gathering castouts who were ignored or underserved by their own people. Sounds a lot like the Rangers to me.
Hiding in plain sight, perhaps?
Alternatively, maybe he built the ship, but it's being used by someone else.
But the mystery ship is already built… implying they’ve had him for quite a while now. Why search for something they already have?
No idea - I was just digging for a possible alternative explanation. I don't really buy it, myself.
