What's the deal with the spectral wraith?

So I'm new to the game, had it a few weeks now and its great for the most part, but sometimes it just feels unfair, like the spectral wraith. It spawns in over half my games, usually at or around 2300, always either in my empire, or next to it, and it never leaves to go through anyone else's empire. It will move past the hyperlanes to other empires but never moves into them, just ploughs through mine. I have started to quit games when it shows up now because it feels like it is programmed to only attack the player and completely ignore ai empires. Maybe I'm not playing the game right, but by 2300 I have a fleet of about 5k max and I know that is not gonna cut it with the wraith, should I have more by that point? It just feels too early to have something that tough focused only on my empire, if it actually roamed through other empires it would be more manageable, I would get breaks to build up and reclaim systems but as it is, it feels like I have to ignore everything else to watch where it goes and try to claim back my systems before my neighours do.
