Homeworld: Cataclysm Game Guide

During the repair process, a new signal is detected - incoming Hiigaran support frigates. Move your ACV to intercept the support frigates as the Hiigaran ships aren't what they seem. When the support frigates reach the Bushan-Re, command states that the frigates aren't responding to communications. Within seconds, the support frigates transform into raider corvettes. Apparently the raiders were using some sort of holographic technology.

Use the ACVs to destroy the raider frigates and protect your workers from attack; the Bushan-Re can withstand a lot of damage, but your workers are much weaker. As you continue repairs, a new signal is detected on the sensors map.

Objective 4 - Salvage Derelict

Send a worker to salvage the unknown derelict. You should send a small contingent of fighters to support the worker. The salvaging worker must be upgraded after researching salvaging technology in the engineering module. To salvage, place the mouse pointer over the derelict and press the right mouse button.

Use a processor, guarding your workers, to quicken resource gathering.
Send a worker, guarded with your ACVs, over to the derelict - a blip on the sensors map indicates its position. Make sure your workers are upgraded with salvage technology; if not, you must select "upgrade" on the right click menu once the salvaging technology research has been completed. With the worker selected, right click on the derelict to begin the salvaging process.

During salvaging, a raider carrier jumps in and sends out waves of raider fighters to liberate the derelict. Intercept the incoming raiders with your ACV group. As the battle begins, the Bushan-Re jumps out instead of offering assistance.

Objective 5 - Destroy Turanic Raiders

Turanic Raiders are attempting to salvage the derelict for themselves. Eliminate all hostile forces you encounter. Always make sure to have a defense force near your workers as they harvest.

Finish off the raider fighter groups with your ACVs. Escort the salvaged derelict back to the Kuun-Lan. You should also maneuver the Kuun-Lan toward the derelict to quicken the salvaged craft's return. Continue harvesting any remaining asteroids (don't bother with the moving meteor showers). Once the raiders are destroyed and the derelict back at the Kuun-Lan, the mission concludes.
