Mission 5: Imperial liberation

Han Solo is going to blow up some prisons and you are to help him. Mission shouldn't be hard, because you have artillery units and you know how you use them.

Drop in your field commander, light tanks and MPTL. Move your forces east to capture first prisons. Destroy them with Han Solo (you need to move him near prison gate), defeat any imperial soldiers spotted, build some turrets and then quickly set up your artillery near the river. Block the ford with your vehicles, because very strong counterattack will come soon. Use your artillery and airstrikes to defeat it, and then go through the river to destroy another prison. Take over northern support point, and once again set up defenses. All remaining prisons are nearby, so destroy them one by one and mission will be completed.

Conquest

Now you're going to have a hard time. Almost half of the galaxy becomes active. Most systems are already in Emperor hands, and rest of them will be soon, before you can get to them. Enemy has greater fleet, more shipyards, and credits. But who told you, that fighting empire will be easy?

You should have access to heavy tanks, speeders and gunships by now, so build them. Then move slowly to the west, capturing all systems on your way to Atzeri. Remember to leave strong garrisons on border worlds, for Emperor will surely try to take them back. And don't be surprised if you'll have to fight very numerous enemy fleets!

It is good to conquer everything at least to Eriadu, but I recommend that you should also go for Sullust and Dagobah. Of course, if you feel very strong, you can take over all enemy systems, but this is going to be very, very hard.
