So, the ship is going to use radio waves to warn us of an attack by other radio waves. Do the radio waves from the ship travel faster than the waves from the sun?

Indeed, I’d like to have that explained, although I think the answer is that solar wind is the issue and slower than C

Aren’t the destructive particles from the sun actually traveling significantly slower that light?

not radio waves - plasma, energized gas ejected from the Sun

When hits earth magnet fields the plasma follows the field
lines and smashes into the upper atmosphere causing auroras

The effect is to induce tremendous electrical currents in earth shortening out electrical systems and blowing transformers

In 1989 caused blackout of much of Quebec
