Imperium Strategy
Enter the Tachions! In this mission you have the Freedom Guard completely outmatched, provided that you can survive for the first few minutes. You start out with some Tachion Tanks and quite a few credits. Start building a few more Tachion Tanks and add a few turrets around your base boundaries. Enemy infantry will come out of the hills as well as down the roads, so don't leave any undefended approaches to your base. Your Tachion Tanks work well as artillery, using their extensive range to protect your turrets and other buildings until you have generated a sufficient force to start taking the offensive - all you really need are a few more Tachion Tanks and a few Bions.
Start moving up the left-hand side of the map and attack the Freighter and defending Freedom Guard units near the freshwater spring up the road. Annihilate them with your Tachion Tanks (retreating occasionally to avoid getting hit, while using your superior range to pound your pursuers). Build a Water Launch Pad and a few turrets to protect it. There's a Freedom Guard Training Facility in the hills to the east of the spring. You won't be able to get any armored units up the hills, so you'll have to overwhelm it with Bions and/or a large wave of Guardians. Take the other freshwater spring in the southeast corner of the map using a similar force of Tachion Tanks and build another Water Launch Pad and some more turrets. Keep building Tachion Tanks and start advancing up the roads, destroying any enemy units you find, and concentrating on getting to the remaining freshwater springs. Freedom Guard Tank Hunters are dangerous, but their limited range makes them vulnerable - retreat your own Tachion Tanks and pick off the Tank Hunters as they chase after you. There is an additional Freedom Guard Training Facility in some hills just northeast of the center of the map, so you'll have to overwhelm that one with infantry as well.
Once you cut the Freedom Guard off from the freshwater springs, descend on the Freedom Guard base from the east and from the south. Once the Freedom Guard base is breached, the Freedom Guard will try to destroy the Water Extraction Compound, so be prepared to charge into the base (sacrificing units if necessary), to prevent the compound from being destroyed. By the time you get to the Freedom Guard base, however, you'll likely have a massive Tachion Tank wave that'll be more than ready to clean out the remainder of the Freedom Guard base.
