You start in the southern part of the map. You will have a well developed base and a very small army. After a while, the path of Tal'Darim laser will appear on the map. It will reach the technology vault after about 20 minutes of the game. It is enough time to complete all objectives. Check the minimap frequently to see where the beam is currently. It is important during the march, especially with large groups of units.

Produce the workers and create few additional units. After about 90 seconds from the start of the mission you will receive information about sentry units held near the base. Walk to them and they will join you [1]. Few other groups are scattered across the map. You will find them while you make your way to the technology vault. You will also find containers with additional resources while exploring the map.

First, focus on developing the base. You have plenty of time, so build additional warp gates and train around 20 melee and ranged fighting units. Don't forget about placing few photon cannons at the base entrance. Once you gather a strong assault team, go north, while watching out for the ray moving through the map. You will face small enemy groups which your army should easily deal with. In the [X1] point you will find the first solarite container.

Go north while at the same time improving the base and creating new units. Gather another sentry [2] group. South [3] from that place you will find enemy base. Gather the reinforcements and destroy it. After destroying the pylon that is most advanced south, you will open a previously blocked shortcut.

Another, much bigger enemy base can be found north [5], but you won't have time or need to attack it. You can instead send the army to the east in order to destroy a smaller enemy outpost [4] and to collect few resource containers.

Summon another group of units from the base and go north. Behind the bridge you will find weak enemy fortifications [6] and a pylon that blocks another shortcut. Slightly further north there is another solarite container [X2].

Keep producing new units and keep them ready to march. If you have the deploy pylon ability, you can combine it with warp gates in order to summon units to the position of your main army. It will allow you to spare the time needed for the reinforcements to reach the main forces.

Go south and destroy another enemy base [7]. Open the next shortcut and free another two sentry groups [8][9]. Summon the reinforcements from the base and go ahead. On the north [10] in addition to enemy units you will have to fight defense systems of the facility which consists of differently looking photon cannons. They will be powered by war prisms which will also summon enemy reinforcements. The presence of the turrets and additional units will not change the fact that enemy defenses will prove to be very weak. Once you destroy the enemy, go left and collect the last solarite container [X3].

Two enemy fortifications [11][12] are ahead of you. The greatest problem in the first one will be the shield batteries repairing enemy shields. Try to lure enemy units outside its reach and concentrate all your units on a single building while destroying the constructions. You can leave the shield batteries for the end. If you have a very large army, you can simply perform a frontal attack instead. Enemy units are so weak that they will not be able to withstand it.

Don't forget to destroy the pylon powering the battery up. As for the second fortifications [12], there will be more shield batteries and less enemy units, so the battle should be much shorter. Destroy the pylon powering the battery up and enter the technology vault.
