Homeworld: Cataclysm Game Guide

Clearing the proximity sensors lets you sneak by Beast defenses and get a mimic into the Naggarok to snag the sample. Use the mimic's special action away from any Beast ships. Zoom in on the mimic and note the color of the second dot next to the health bar - if it's green, you're hidden from the Beast fleet. Continue to battle the Beast forces back at the Kuun-Lan and move the mimic toward the Naggarok.

A cutscene interrupts your approach to the Naggarok, and soon the mimic acquires the needed sample and heads back to the Kuun-Lan. The Beast command ships leave, but a large force of Beast vessels still remain. You're ordered to capture one of these ships to discover the Beasts' plans.

Objective 3 - Salvage Taiidan Ship

Salvage a Taiidan ship. It will require two workers to salvage any Taiidani frigate and more for larger ships.

Return your ships to the Kuun-Lan and prepare your workers for salvaging. You should have at least two workers to grab a frigate (you'll have plenty to choose from) or three to four to grab the destroyer, which arrives first. When you spot the destroyer approaching, send in your frigate group to weaken the capital ship. Move in your workers as soon as you can to salvage the large ship (you must damage the ship sufficiently first).

Snag the first destroyer that arrives or grab one of the assault frigates that follows.
If you must annihilate the destroyer, you'll have many assault frigates to choose from (and even a missile destroyer). Make sure you get one of these to complete the mission's final objective. Simply send in workers while you've occupied the assault frigate force with your own frigates, destroyers, and ACVs.

Once you have destroyed the remaining ships, harvest the map. Monitor your workers closely and guard them with a group of acolytes, as you'll likely bump into some mines during your resource collection. End the mission when you're ready to move on.
