Collect and Conquer is a three-part mission chain that makes you an artifact collector. You protect Brazaar in Uxal, build the Artifact Gallery at your Station, recover and restore an artifact, then pay to fix Brazaar’s ship and escort him home to Talmir-86. All three parts are recommended for level 26, and warp to complete is 25, 25 and 22. The chain pays 30 Picard’s Ammonite Fossil, 1,000 Artifact Token, 1,000 Premium Artifact Token, 150,000 Parsteel, 100,000 Tritanium and 40,000 Officer XP. It is the natural way to get your Artifact Gallery started.

Tips for completing Collect and Conquer
Part 1 stops at the Build Artifact Gallery step until the building exists, so check its requirements on the Artifact Gallery page before you start. Part 2 then needs that gallery to restore the artifact.
Part 3 opens with a 1M Parsteel donation. The chain pays only 150,000 Parsteel before that point, so most of it has to come from your own stock.
All four ship fights sit between about 54,000 and 55,500 strength, so one ship that can win the first can win them all. Part 2 also needs 5 hostiles of level 26 or higher.
Are the Collect and Conquer rewards worth it?
Yes, if you plan to use artifacts at all. The 1,000 Artifact Token and 1,000 Premium Artifact Token give your new gallery something to work with, and the 30 Picard’s Ammonite Fossil come ten per part. The resource side is light next to the 1M Parsteel you donate, so do not run it for materials. For the research that builds on artifacts, see the artifact research guide. The STFC mission guide lists other level 26 chains.
