Trivia
Sources disagree on the per-part rewards and some objective counts (the in-game step text above, from the Bungie manifest, is used here; the cited guides were written at Beyond Light launch and describe slightly different objectives). The Aspect quests from the Exo Stranger are separate quests; check the Aspect of Control and Aspect of Destruction pages.
