Proximity sensors are under attack. They must not be destroyed. Defend them immediately.
Open the sensor map and spot the red enemy radar blips approaching the sensor net behind the Kuun-Lan's original start position. Use the sensor map and your acolytes to intercept the Taiidan attack groups. Attempt to attack separated groups; attacking the entire Taiidan group at once could be deadly, even to a large acolyte force. The Taiidan groups consist of interceptors and two multigun corvettes.
Concentrate all firepower on a single multigun corvette before moving on to the next. Follow the Taiidan crafts until all are destroyed. You may have to keep reverting back to the sensor map to efficiently follow the rampaging Taiidan ships.
This Taiidan heavy cruiser is fleeing and badly crippled. Finish it off. Make sure to watch for any escort it might have.
Send all ships back to the Kuun-Lan for repair. The linking technology research should be completed by now. With your acolyte group selected, open the right click menu and select "upgrade." This will send your acolytes back to the Kuun-Lan; the acolytes will dock, be repaired, and emerge with upgrades. Use the right click menu and select "special function" then "link" to combine each set of two acolytes into a single ACV. Also, you can produce additional ACV instead of two acolytes (and the single ACV can be unlinked into two acolytes).

The crippled heavy cruiser won't last long against your linked acolytes. |
With your linked-acolyte (ACV) group selected, open the sensor map and locate the radar blip indicating the fleeing heavy cruiser. Now, you could assist in the main battle if you wish. This could garner you some more kills, but it's not necessary to complete the mission. Instead, move toward the fleeing heavy cruiser and prepare for battle. Place the ACV group into X or claw formation with aggressive tactics.
Spot the defenders escorting the heavy cruiser. Target the defenders first with a Ctrl banded attack. Once the defenders are eliminated, move to the heavy cruiser. Use sphere formation to maximize constant firepower. The end mission objective appears once the heavy cruiser is destroyed.
Before moving on, make sure all resources in the mission area have been collected. Select your workers and press H if they aren't already harvesting. Once all have been collected, select "end mission" to proceed to mission two.
