Cutthroat | Campaign - Rebellion missions SC II: WoL Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Main objectives:

1. Buy Merc Contract Before Orlan
2. Destroy Orlan's Mercenary Forces
3. Find the Protoss Relics (3) (green dots)

Additional objectives:

The Confederate Adjutant gained in the previous scenario is unfortunately encrypted and only colonel Orlan can gain access to it. The place is roaming with pirates and mercenaries, though Matt Horner has some memories connected with it (ask him).

Orlan, after decrypting the Adjutant, will however come up with a better idea. He wants to sell it to the Dominion and Mira Han - the local mercenary chief - is to stop you from getting the device back. She will however offer Raynor a deal. If he can deliver as much money as the colonel has offered, but before him, she will change sides and work with you.

[#1]

You have to collect 6000 minerals. On the right you can see the meter for you and Orlan, who is in a better situation as he has three additional Command Centers, compared to your poor one. Luckily the area is filled with scrap metal which can be turned into something more valuable. Right above your base there's a shredder [1] [#1], which will pop out some metal from time to time. As Horner suggest, you can drop by from time to time to gain some additional minerals.

[#2]

Apart from that you should take some time and explore the platform, with scrap metal in every corner. Additionally focus on destroying Orlan's three Command Centers [2]. They aren't protected too well, so when Han sends you some Vultures as a gift, go out for a hunt. Of course do leave some forces back at the base, but don't overdo it as the enemy attacks won't be too dangerous. Also note that you can mine both passages with the Vultures' mines. Once you eliminate the three Centers, you can be the one in Han's favour.

[#3]

In result you will also gain a powerful army, consisting mainly of various mercenaries and technically advanced units [#3]. Having them, you can immediately storm Orlan's base [3] or train some more units. The colonel's base is built of two highly protected platforms and it would be wise if you'd attack the first one [4] from both sides, flanking the soldiers there. However that's of course only a suggestion. Before you begin the invasion, be sure you've collected the three Protoss relics.

[#4]

Once Orlan sees what's going on, he'll try to hit you with a nuclear missile [#4]. Luckily you'll get a proper warning early enough to be able to retreat your troops. Continue devastating the base after the explosion [#5].
