Homeworld: Cataclysm Game Guide

Mission 11 - System AZ-23769

The Kuun-Lan arrives in system AZ-23769 and encounters a friendly ship, the Faal-Corum, under attack from Beast forces. The Kuun-Lan must convince the Faal-Corum that the Kuun-Lan isn't under the effect of the Beast. Help defend the Faal-Corum from attack to complete the first objective.

Objective 1 - Destroy Beast Ships

Destroy the Beast ships attacking the Faal-Corum.

Move your entire fleet, including the Kuun-Lan, adjacent to the Faal-Corum. Send in your ACV group against the Beast fighters. Make sure you don't attack any Faal-Corum ships, even if they attack you. Place your offensive vessels on neutral tactics to prevent any accidental friendly fire. Defending the Faal-Corum isn't too difficult; simply move your fleet over as soon as possible to assist in its defense.

Objective 2 - Repair the Faal-Corum

Repair the Faal-Corum with workers. Select some repair capable workers and right click on the Faal-Corum.

Once you have cleared out the Beast forces, you're ordered to repair the Faal-Corum. Don't repair the capital ship just yet, though. Instead, start harvesting the map's resources. Repairing the Faal-Corum triggers the next event - a tough battle against the Beast. So, take the time to harvest the map before you repair the friendly ship. Select your workers and press H and use a processor, if available, to guard them.

Grab the crystal asteroids before repairing the Faal-Corum.
There are also several crystal asteroids on the map. Salvage them as you did in a previous mission for even more valuable resource units. Reinforce your fleet with additional ships, though you may wish to save support units for a destroyer that you can build later in the mission. If not, you could always construct a carrier that you can also build later in the mission to increase your maximum support units.

Once they're done harvesting, assign the workers to repair the Faal-Corum. During the repair, you'll gain new research options, the destroyer drive and repair bots. Open the research menu with the R key and research the destroyer drive first - it's required to build destroyers and carriers.

Repairing the Faal-Corum to near full strength triggers the next event - the Beast has arrived.
