• On the northern part of your main base, reinforcement in the form of 4 SCVs and a command center are waiting for you to activate them. Send some units to activate it and expand the base there.
• Always have a group of at least 5 reapers to scout nearby areas for more minerals. Additional reapers will also reinforce you once you activate them.

b. Escort the colonists to the colony ship

Credit rewards: 110,000

• Always have Firebots in your team since they are effective in attacking crawling Zergs
• Don’t go without Terran Marines because they are the only unit that can attack flying Zergs
• To hasten the training of your units, search and get the minerals and Vespene gas pellets along the way
• Don’t bother returning the forces that reached the colony ship back to your base. Position them to guard the entry points of the enemies. Use fresh units to escort the next batch of colonists.
• Ensure continuous training of attack units so that newly trained units shall escort every batch of colonists.
