Third Party is a three-part mission chain that starts with a security breach in the Transogen mining areas and ends with you joining the Aggregation. You follow a distress signal, trace the perpetrators into Klingonisch territory, and then track a thief to a station in Gawen. All three parts are recommended for level 35, start at warp 1 and finish between warp 24 and warp 38. Rewards include a VIL Winn Adami shard, 5 Recon Locus Schematics, 1,250 Raw Gemeinsame Transogen and 185,000 Officer XP. The fights are small, and the chain leads straight into The Aggregation.

Tips for completing Third Party
Part 1 is the longest trip at warp 38, and it asks for 6M Tritanium to restore the mining vessel. Parts 2 and 3 drop to warp 26 and 24, and Part 3 costs 1M Dilithium to get past the station’s security.
Combat is light. The three named fights sit between about 527,000 and 673,000 strength, and the only sweep is 5 level 35 hostiles in Part 1.
Are the Third Party rewards worth it?
Yes, mainly as the start of the Winn Adami storyline. On its own it pays 16,889,000 Parsteel, 185,000 Officer XP, 1,250 Raw Common Transogen, 800 recruit tokens and one VIL Winn Adami shard for modest costs. Running it through Eminence adds up to four Winn Adami shards and 20 Recon Locus Schematics. See the STFC mission guide for more level 35 missions.
