The stolen resource collectors arrive at the Taiidan research base. Ready your fleet, then move the collectors to the rendezvous point to initiate the planetary insertion.
Our transports (disguised as Taiidan resource collectors) must meet up with Taiidan republic spies at the specified coordinates.

The resource collectors are key to the mission's success. |
Don't rush the insertion plan - take time to harvest resources and organize your fleet. Maximize your support units with additional multibeam frigates, hive frigates, and ACVs. Select your workers and order them to harvest nearby resources. If you have a processor, use it to guard the workers, so you gather the resources more quickly.
You should also organize your fleet into several attack groups. Place your ACVs into a single attack group - or form multiple groups, if you wish to flank a group in battle situations. Place your frigates - both your own creations, such as the multibeam and hive frigates, and the stolen ion cannon and assault frigates - into a single group or multiple groups. You should also place the Kuun-Lan in its own group, so you can move the command ship if desired.
Gather all nearby resources, then prepare to move your fleet. Send your entire fleet, including the Kuun-Lan toward the rendezvous point - marked with a radar ping on the sensors manager. Interceptors scouting the map may bump into your fleet. Destroy the interceptors easily with your ACVs or frigates. When you reach the rendezvous point, the collectors begin their mission.

The sensors manager reveals the proximity sensor grid. |
Disrupt the Taiidan proximity grid by destroying a proximity sensor. In doing so, you can provide the necessary diversion for your insertion team.
For the resource collector mission to succeed, you must create a diversion by alerting the Taiidan force to your presence by eliminating part of its sensor grid. The grid is clearly marked on the sensors manager - simply spot all the radar pings that encircle the planet. Keep the Kuun-Lan away from the pings, but move your offensive units (ACVs, frigates, and so on) toward the grid. You may encounter enemy forces, including ion cannon frigates, interceptors, and multigun corvettes, as you approach. Blow up one proximity sensor to trigger the next objective.
| 
Large fleets of Taiidan ships patrol the proximity sensor grid - prepare for a huge battle! |
You must wait for your transports (disguised Taiidan resource collectors) to infiltrate the base on the planet and gather the needed information.
With the diversion completed, you must now wait for the transports to complete their mission. Unfortunately, your diversion alerted the Taiidan forces to your presence - and they aren't too pleased with your incursion! Retreat back to the Kuun-Lan immediately. Move your forces back to the Kuun-Lan - don't advance the Kuun-Lan into the sensors grid.
