After salvaging the ion cannon frigate, you gain a new research option: advanced ion cannon. Research the new technology immediately to gain the ability to produce multibeam frigates. After you salvage the assault frigate, you gain the new research option: energy cannon. Open the research menu by pressing R and research both as soon as they're available.
Snagging the resource collectors is easy compared to the frigates. Simply assign the workers to salvage each collector; if the collector hasn't sustained enough damage for salvaging, attack the collector with some ACVs. You only need three collectors - as opposed to the frigates, where it's more beneficial to gain them all.

Capture a bunch of enemy frigates and save yourself some resource units. |
If any Imperial ships escape, your efforts will be in vain. Destroy all enemy ships you do not salvage.
The last objective of the mission is to make sure no enemy ships escape the assault. Once you have all the frigates and three resource collectors, simply destroy all remaining stragglers.
The mission can end once one frigate and three resource collectors have been salvaged, and all other enemy ships are destroyed. Before you end the mission, though, harvest any remaining resources. Plus, turn on the sensors manager and spot the two purple dots behind the Kuun-Lan's start position. Send over a recon to investigate the purple dots.
Once you approach, you realize these are some sort of crystalline asteroids. You gain a new research option. Open the research menu with the R key and select "crystal processing" to learn the new technology. Once it completes, upgrade the command ship and resource units (activate the right-click menu and select upgrade). Send your workers over to the crystal asteroids. The crystals must be salvaged like ships, then processed at the processor or command ship. It'll take two workers to salvage the smaller asteroid and four to grab the larger. Process both for a heap of extra resource units. When you're finished, end the mission to head to the next.
