Check the e-manual that came with the game. Chapter 9 does a good job explaining how to set up farcasters to work in a custom mission.

Well, I create one Farcaster in my sector and nav with the order to use farcaster. Created other farcaster in other sector. I use autonav, but nothing happens.
That I make bad? The two farcaster are my IFF.
Somebody can explain it to me?

The problem was that you had not linked the farcasters. Here is the working copy of your file.

MISSION

intel: "Secret"

command_ai:1
iff: 0
playable: false

Just cut and paste this into your existing def file and it will work.
