Missions Guide
Use Scanner Sweeps to show the surrounding area. Take a look just a short distance northwest of the middle of the map, and you'll see a wide-open space with additional resources. When your original position is firmly rooted, you must expand there. But beforehand, you'll want to send strike forces of Goliaths, Vultures, and Marines to flush out any enemy patrols in the immediate area. You'll even find a lone Battlecruiser just looking for trouble, but several Goliaths should make short work of it. You have plenty of resources here, so make sure you are constantly upgrading weapons and armor; you may even wish to build additional Armories so you can work on several upgrades at once.
Proceed to fortify your fledgling base with Siege Tanks and anything else you have available. Build a Factory and a Starport or two at the new site and line its perimeter with Missile Turrets lest enemy Wraiths break in and wreak havoc. Begin producing Battlecruisers from at least two Starports at once. Produce as many as possible - at least a half dozen. Make sure their weapons, and if possible their armor, is upgraded to maximum. Modify them with the Yamato Gun and Colossus Reactor. At this point, you may either wish to strike the enemy bases to give the vile Arcturus Mengsk a gift to remember you by or go straight for the Ion Cannon. The latter is the simplest choice. Fly your Battlecruisers to the Ion Cannon's platform and use their Yamato Guns to take out all the Missile Turrets near it. Send along a Science Vessel to assist your Cruisers with Defensive Matrix as well as detect cloaked foes. If you crush the defenses on this island, you may then proceed to destroy the Ion Cannon. However, if you'd like to deliver a real coup de grace, have two Nuclear Silos armed and ready. Then, drop two Ghosts onto the island and have them each target a nuke on the Ion Cannon. It will not survive the blast. Congratulations - you have conquered the Terran campaign.
