Corrupted Data (the red one) comes from the lower Augment systems, levels 20 to 32. Decoded Data (the green one) comes from the higher systems, levels 27 to 36. Decoded Data is not a refined version of Corrupted Data; they are separate resources mined from separate nodes, and the store exchanges use both. The level 27 and 28 band is where they overlap: Kor Na Ron and Duriana carry Corrupted Data, while Paradane and Terazon-X31 carry Decoded Data.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_you_need_data\"><\/span>Why you need data<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Data is the Augment faction&#8217;s currency, and the Augment store is where you spend it.

The Augment store also carries Augment recruit rewards for <a href=\"https:\/\/star-trek-fleet-command.1337wiki.com\/de\/khan-noonien-singh\/\">Khan<\/a> and his crew. If you want Khan&#8217;s crew at high ranks or a leveled Botany Bay, data mining is the grind that pays for it.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_get_data\"><\/span>How to get data<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Mining in Augment space.

It is an Uncommon Grade 3 survey ship that needs 60 blueprints and <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/star-trek-fleet-command.1337wiki.com\/de\/werft\/\"   title=\"Shipyard\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"25272\">Shipyard<\/a> level 18. Its ship ability, Data Mining, raises its Mining Laser bonus by 26,500% when mining Corrupted and Decoded Data at ship level 1, rising to 41,000% at level 45, which makes any other survey ship a placeholder at best. Plutonium from the Augment store is what upgrades it, so the loop feeds itself: mine data, buy Plutonium, mine faster.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Data_FAQ\"><\/span>Data FAQ<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Where is the Vaara Expanse?<\/strong><br \/>\nIt is the Augment faction&#8217;s region of the galaxy. Its data systems are the 16 Augment systems in the two tables above, from Rainsford at level 20 to Yarda at level 36, and all of them sit at warp 25 or lower.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is Decoded Data refined from Corrupted Data?<\/strong><br \/>\nNo. They are separate resources from separate nodes. Corrupted spawns in the lower Augment systems, Decoded in the higher ones.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Which system is best for Decoded Data?<\/strong><br \/>\nFor long sessions, Ilmatar (level 35) and Olassa (level 33), whose nodes hold 60,000 and 40,000 data. For quick top-ups, Yarda and Orda-877 have the fastest small nodes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why do data nodes run out so fast?<\/strong><br \/>\nMany data nodes hold far less than normal resource nodes, some as little as 10. Lift your ship off and set it back down to reset the node, and plan on active mining sessions rather than overnight parking.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can other players steal my data?<\/strong><br \/>\nNot from your station.
