Walkthrough:
This is the final mission and its a real test of your skill and nerves. Decide first if you go for the hidden objective 'Master of Pawns' by using only non-experimental units/buildings or not.

First set 2 Engineers on patrol to the southwest to reclaim all the wreckage. Next, build your defenses at the middle Mass Deposit to the north. You will face growing larger waves of Cybran and Illuminate units as well as Experimentals. So build PDs, AAs ,and shields; lots of them. However, you will be attacked from the northwest by tactical missile launchers, so build Adaptors to counter them. Additionally, you will face enemies coming from east or dropped in the southeast of your base. So build PDs and Shields there too. After a while Megaliths and Airnomos will attack you from northeast along with the regular army of Gunships, Bombers and land units. Then be prepared to face Colossus bots, Soul Rippers and Darkanoids.

After your defenses are enough for the moment construct at least 3 air factories and start to crank out bombers (60 are enough) to take out the 4 Power coils. But prepare for incoming drones which are produced from the Drone Spawners located near each coil. Either destroy them in advance or build additional AA. You will hear warnings of nukes being launched but you are not the target, so be at ease. Now all enemy structures are revealed. Locate the factories in the east and north west. Destroy them with 100 Bombers and be sure to kill off all engineers or they will rebuild. Gauge will say something which concludes that everything is destroyed there and won't be rebuild for each position. By this time you will have to endure a long range artillery. It is located a bit north east of your base next to the factories there. Destroy it ASAP.

Once the situation becomes quite relaxed you should try to complete all research for the hidden 'Research Savant'. Then send your bombers after Gauge and finish the game. The objective 'Master of Pawns' will be completed after the final outro sequence, so don't panic.
