Additional objectives:

You find yourself in a secret Dominion research facility, where various types of experiments are conducted. The newest Terran wonder - the Odin, due to be shown at planet Korhal - can also be found here. If you could intercept it, hacking into the network and broadcasting the embarrassing material would be quite possible.

[#1]

Tychus will be chosen for this mission and he will give proof of his lack of discipline quickly. He'll rush into the enemy base, ignoring the danger. Your part is to protect him. Tychus cannon be controlled, so have a Medic follow him all the time. You can send the second one to the normal Marines, which you have to use to support the heroic trouble-maker.

Once you get inside the complex, on the left you will notice a container with yellow stuff in it. It's a Devourer sample, one of three here which you have to complete to satisfy Stetmann [#1]. You can also return for it later on. Help Tychus in taking over the place and he will eventually reach the first Odin [1] [#2]. The real mission begins now.

[#2]

Raynor will send some reinforcements to help hot-headed friend. Tychus will soon head out to destroy the five local Dominion bases [2]-[6]. He'll rush to the first one after a couple minutes, once he becomes bored of waiting for Jim and his forces. Some Battlecruisers will attack you along the way, but you can bring them down with the excellent Wraiths sent by Swann [#3].

[#3]

Before Tychus heads out onto his crusade, have one or two SCVs follow him all the time (right mouse button) so they'll repair the damage he'll inevitably receive. You can also attach other units you find in the base ore produce later on to him. This way you will provide him with defence and with some luck all you'll have to do is watch the ongoing destruction.

[#4]

Tychus will rest for a while after destroying each base [#4], which will let you send some more units to cover him. Don't forget about manufacturing Wraiths with their wonderful Cloak ability. They will do great not only fighting against the Battlecruiser, but mainly will allow you to catch the prototype Battlecruiser - Loki [#5]. You will find him by the fourth base [7] and I'd suggest having as much units as you can (tons of Wraiths or Vikings) if you want to try destroying it and gaining the achievement. Also keep your eyes open for the other two Samples. In the meantime you should also remember about protecting your own base. It will be attacked from the north and afterwards from north-east, so surround with Bunkers and Turrets.

[#5]

Each next Dominion camp will have better defence and once you're by the fifth, Matt will warn you of the numerous Battlecruisers. Overall it's rather hard to suggest too much of a strategy here - Dominion has very varies troops in their bases and in fact so should you - have everything in your army, beginning with Marines and ending with Tanks.

[#6]

Check out if the SCVs by the Odin are still alive from time to time and send in new one if needed. As you're destroying the final base [#6], Tychus will send down a nuclear missile on the Command Center.
