Now carefully advance north with a Ghost. He'll find an enemy Siege Tank on low ground, and he should lock it down immediately. Advance your Siege Tanks. They'll come across a Goliath that will prove no match for them. Change to Siege Mode just east of the disabled enemy tank and destroy it. Your tanks should also be able to eliminate a Bunker north of their position without having to move. Now cloak two Ghosts and proceed west to where you see a ramp leading to high ground. You'll be able to see a tank from your position below, and you should lock it down right away. Move up the ramp, and just to north you'll find a Science Vessel, and just north of that, another Siege Tank on low ground. Lock down both of them. Move your remaining Ghosts, Marines, and Medics to that position, and take out all three targets, starting with the Science Vessel. You may wish to blind them all in case the Lockdown wears off.

The enemy Battlecruisers will not use their Yamato guns, and will quickly fall prey to your own.

Now move all your infantry to the low ground where you killed the first tank. North of there, you'll find a patrolling Science Vessel, which your Ghosts know how to deal with by now. Proceed with a cloaked Ghost up the ramp to the north, and use Lockdown on the tank there beside the Bunker. Now move your own tanks into position, and eliminate the enemy tank first, and then the Bunker. Continue west along the ramp with a Ghost, and you'll find another Bunker. Don't get too close. Move your Siege Tanks to low ground and to the west, into position to destroy that target. Watch out - an enemy Siege Tank is patrolling nearby, but your Ghost can lock it down. There's one last Siege Tank parked near the beacon southwest of where that last Bunker used to be. Lock it down and let your Siege Tanks finish it off. Now move a Pilot to each beacon.

Your 18 Battlecruisers will unite in the center of the map. Almost as many enemy Battlecruisers will shortly attack. The difference is, you'll use your Yamato gun from each Battlecruiser on as many targets as you can. That way, you'll end the attack quickly, and once it's finished, your mission will be a success.
