Take groups of acolytes (set to evasive tactics) and left bandbox attack mines that are in the way. Once you have moved a mimic near the Clee-San, you will see mines in the sensors manager and can instruct fighters to attack them from long distance. Once mines close to the Clee-San are cleared or destroyed, it will move toward the Kuun-Lan. If the Clee-San encounters any more mines, it will stop and wait for you to clear them. If no mines are encountered, the Clee-San will dock with the Kuun-Lan.

Guard the Clee-San with an ACV or acolyte group in X formation. |
Leave the mimic at the Clee-San. Press the B key to open the build menu and start construction on a weapons module. Once it's complete, open the research menu by pressing the R key. Research the new missile launcher technology, which will add a missile special ability to your acolytes.
Ramp up your ACV force to 15 to 16 ACVs. Start moving toward the minefield. Don't enter the heart of the minefield, though; remain just outside, so you aren't overwhelmed with the tracking mines. You should take on mines in acolyte form in evasive tactics; the smaller crafts are faster and much more elusive. Further, their numbers can rip through the mines with relative ease. Once you encounter raider defense forces, return to the more powerful linked ACVs.
As you continue to clear the minefield, advance the Kuun-Lan just outside the minefield. You can't dawdle much in your clearing of the outer and inner minefields around the Clee-San. A large raider force is incoming; if you take too long, the force hyperspaces in and attacks the Kuun-Lan. Moving the Kuun-Lan toward the Clee-San will buy you additional time should the force jump in.

Return the Clee-San to the Kuun-Lan to complete the mission. |
Continue toward the Clee-San, clearing a path through the mines. More mines surround the Clee-San; of more danger, however, are the missile corvettes and fighter groups. Concentrate all firepower (as ACVs) on the missile corvettes that approach. Replace any destroyed ACVs with new craft. Also consider retreating back to the Kuun-Lan if you're overwhelmed; once back to the command ship, dock and repair the ACVs.
Remember to assume acolyte form and evasive tactics when combating mines; then, shift to ACV and aggressive tactics when battling raider fighters or corvettes. Once the mines are cleared or destroyed from around the Clee-San, it begins its approach the Kuun-Lan. The mission concludes once the Clee-San reaches the Kuun-Lan.
