This technology can be researched in the advanced engineering module. It will let you build leeches, which will be useful in taking out large enemy ships that do not have nearby proximity detectors.
To destroy the heavy cruiser easily, you must first research a new technology: phased telemetry. Open up the research menu with the R key and select the new technology. Phased telemetry will let you construct leeches - an excellent unit to use against large capital ships.

Attach leeches to the heavy cruiser to weaken or even destroy the vessel. |
The heavy cruiser is blocking your exit path from the nebula. It and its fleet must be destroyed. Research phased telemetry technology in the advanced engineering module, build some leeches, and latch them onto the heavy cruiser via the special action menu (press Z with the leech selected).
Use the Kuun-Lan to build eight to ten leeches. If you don't have available support units, either construct additional modules or retire some acolytes. Group the leeches and send them against the heavy cruiser. The leeches will be the special action vent by default - that's exactly what you want. Once the leeches latch onto the cruiser, it's only a matter of time. The cruiser explodes and the defenders head toward the Kuun-Lan.

As this SCREENSHOT shows, the more leeches the better! |
Time is of the essence now, as the Taiidan fleet will retaliate within moments. Clear out the defenders with your ACV group. Move the recon to the final NAV point, so it's clear. The Kuun-Lan and Caal-Shto will begin moving toward the slipgate at the end of the nebula. As the Caal-Shto approaches the slipgate, a Taiidan force moves against the Kuun-Lan's rear. Don't waste your ACVs or acolytes against the Taiidan force; the Kuun-Lan can withstand the punishment.
When the Caal-Shto exits, you can hyperspace. Wait for your ships to dock with the command ship, then proceed to the next mission.
