To get there, you must evolve a few upgrades for your Overlords. But first, note the minerals along the northern edge of your base. You should have enough resources by now, so build an additional Hatchery near there such that you can easily gather the northern minerals while building more defensive forces. Upgrade your original Hatchery to a Lair and then research the Overlord upgrades each in turn - Pneumatized Carapace to speed them up, Ventral Sacs for transport capability, then Antennae to enhance sight radius. When resources permit, build a Queen's Nest and a Spire. Research all the Queen abilities and start upgrading your Mutalisks' weapons.

 
This is one of your only opportunities to see Infested Terrans in action. Use them to take Raynor's Command Center down with style
Once your Overlords are enhanced with speed and transporting capability, deliver Kerrigan, several Hydralisks, several Drones, a Queen or two, and ideally an escort of Mutalisks to the central island. Construct a new Hatchery and Extractor there, and use Kerrigan and the other forces you sent along to defend. Start gathering resources at this location and set up Spore Colonies along the perimeter of the island to defend against Dropships and Wraiths. Once you have plenty of minerals and Vespene Gas in reserve, build a flock of Mutalisks. An even dozen should be sufficient. Use them to mount a preemptive attack against the eastern island and destroy one of the Missile Turrets guarding the perimeter to create an opening for your transports.

Pack a dozen Hydralisks between three Overlords and fly them east to the Terran base. Deploy the Hydralisks along the perimeter while keeping watch over them with your Mutalisks and a Queen. Use the Queen's Ensare ability to slow your enemies and her Spawn Broodlings power to instantly kill Siege Tanks and Goliaths. Send the Hydralisks to eliminate the Missile Turrets protecting Raynor's Command Center as well as all the enemy units in the area and use your Mutalisks to assist. There is another Command Center to the immediate northwest of Raynor's, and if you like, you can reduce it to 50 percent health or less and then infest it with your Queen. Now you can produce Infested Terrans whose suicide explosions deal terrific damage. But your objective is to eliminate or infest Raynor's Command Center, and between a dozen Hydralisks and a dozen Mutalisks, this will prove no problem.
