sc-terran-7

"Mission Overview:
A large Confederate strike force readies to attack your position. That's not the big news, however. Your learn the Confederation has developed a Trans-planar Psionic Waveform Emitter. When activated, this Psi Emitter attracts Zerg to it's location. As it turns out, a Psi Emitter was at the heart of the battle on Mar Sara. It may seem like a cruel strike against your race, but your only opinion is to plant a Psi Emitter in the Command Center of the Confederation camp, leaving the Confederates to deal with the Zerg while you escape.

Mission Objectives:
-Bring the Psi Emitter to the enemy base
-Kerrigan must survive

Special Unit:
-Kerrigan

New Units:
-Siege Tank
-Science Vessel

New Enemy Unit(Terran):
-Siege Tank

Battle Strategy:
As soon as the mission starts you must pull back some of your units and buildings. The area in the lower-middle part of the map probably will be deystroyed before you can help it, and the area at the top of the map(where Kerrigan and the Psi Emitter are) also come under attack quickly. Let the lower area fall, but try to hang on to the northern camp to use as a staging area for your attacks. Launch the Science Facility and the Spaceport, and move them south(out of range of the enemy Bunkers). Immediately send up reinforcements from your main base for defence. To reach the Beacon(where you must drop the Psi Emitter), you must punch a hole in Confederate defenses. You can use 2 routes for this, the central path and the northern path leading from your northern staging area. Either way, a fair bit of fighting muster occur, but because fewer Missile Turrets guard the northern route, it allows for better use of Wraith fighters for attack. Build up a force of about 10 Siege Tanks, 12 Wraiths, 10 Goliaths, and 12 Marines. Then move systematically along the northern coridor. It's a good idea to send you Science Vessel ahead of your other troops to warn you of waiting Siege Tanks. Creep foward using a systematic pattern of Goliaths and Marines followed by Siege Tanks, with the Wraiths nearby for backup. Bring a couple of SCV's to repair damage to your units along the way.
Tip:Distraction Works:As you begin your move up the northern coridor, you may want to send a couple of Goliaths or Siege Tanks up the central pathway to distract Confederation forces. Doing this can occupy part of the enemy troops, making your job in the north that much easier. Remember to use ground units, such as Goliaths and Marines to take out Turrets, Wraiths, and Siege Tanks. When you come to the mineral field at the top of the Confederates base, take out all of the SCV's and the Command Center to cripple the Confederate ability to create more units. Then move your Siege Tanks into the center of town. Once these Tanks enter "Siege Mode" the carnige realy begins, and enemy structures fall very quickly. At this piont, get the Psi Emitter into a Dropship to fly it up to the Becon. Fly the Dropship along the pathway your ground forces cleared or Missil Turrets may shoot it down. Drop the Psi Emitter(transported by an SCV) near the Beacon, then move it in. The mission ends with Kerrigan wishing that she is never forced to contribute to human death again by luring Zerg to attack.

Resource Management:
As with most missions, it's inportant to start collecting minerals and vespene gas as soon as possible(ASAP). Use some of your initial minerals to create a pair of new SCV's to help. Balance your need for new military units with your need for new structures(such as a Machine Shop for the Factory and more Supply Depots). It may be advisable to build another Factory and/or Barracks in the northern staging area, but if the resources are hard to find, simple move your existing structures north to keep fresh units following to the front. Once your strike force is ready, keep building units at your base(s) so you can send in another wave of firepower if it looks like your losing the battle."
