The Aggregation is a three-part mission chain that picks up right after Third Party. You prove yourself to the Aggregation by raiding a Transogen storage facility, learn about Nero and hire Suliban allies, and finally try to turn Dekar against Nero. All three parts are recommended for level 35, start at warp 1 and finish at warp 26 or 27. Rewards include a VIL Winn Adami shard, 5 Recon Locus Schematics, 200 Refined Uncommon Transogen and about 9.9 million Parsteel. It is a short, low-warp chain with one Tritanium payment.

The Aggregation and the linked chains
The Aggregation is unlocked by finishing Third Party, and completing it unlocks Alternate, which in turn leads to Eminence. All four chains are level 35 and each pays one VIL Winn Adami shard and 5 Recon Locus Schematics.
| Chain | Recommended level | Warp to complete | VIL Winn Adami shards | Recon Locus Schematics |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Third Party | 35 | 24 to 38 | 1 | 5 |
| The Aggregation | 35 | 26 to 27 | 1 | 5 |
| Alternate | 35 | 24 to 27 | 1 | 5 |
| Eminence | 35 | 25 to 40 | 1 | 5 |
Tips for completing The Aggregation
Warp 27 covers every part, so any ship that handled Third Party can run this one. The only cost is 5M Tritanium to hire the Suliban in Part 2, and that part pays 2,588,000 Tritanium back.
The toughest fight is the Transogen storage in Part 1, at about 741,000 strength. The two Suliban fights in Part 2 are lighter, and the hostile sweeps are short at 8 and 5 targets.
Are The Aggregation rewards worth it?
As a stand-alone chain it is modest: 9,852,000 Parsteel, 2,588,000 Tritanium, 200 Refined Uncommon Transogen and a handful of 3★ resources. Its value is the VIL Winn Adami shard and the 5 Recon Locus Schematics, plus the unlock for Alternate. The STFC mission guide covers other level 35 chains.
