With plenty of resources rolling in, you will wish to begin building a fleet of Battlecruisers to rid yourself of Torrasque once and for all, and ultimately to complete your mission objective. Two or three Starports should facilitate your production of the mighty spaceships. Once you've assembled a fleet of at least six Battlecruisers and a supporting Science Vessel, you're ready to attack Torrasque's Cerebrate. It is very vulnerable to a Battlecruiser attack, not simply because grouped Battlecruisers are extremely powerful, but because the southern and eastern borders of its base are practically defenseless.
Fly your fleet to the very southern edge of the map, then fly it all the way east, hugging the southern border. Only a single Spore Colony will stand in the way, and your Battlecruisers can kill it directly, or eliminate it from a distance with two Yamato gun blasts. A few Mutalisks, Scourge, and Devourers may come to the rescue, but should prove no match. Once you reach the southeast corner of the map, continue north until you're along the same axis as Torrasque's Cerebrate. Again, you will face little opposition other than occasional Spore Colonies. Once you're directly east of the Cerebrate, approach and attack. Eliminate defending Scourge, Hydralisks, Spore Colonies, Mutalisks, and Devourers as they appear, concentrating on the Cerebrate between waves. Once it is killed, its entire brood, including Torrasque, will become docile. Waste no more time with it, and fly your Battlecruisers back for repairs. Your task is almost complete.
After your fleet is repaired, you can use it to kill the red Cerebrate, with its invincible Sunken Colonies, by attacking it directly from the south. A few Spore Colonies, Mutalisks, and Hydralisks shouldn't make for much trouble. The final Cerebrate can be attacked just like Torrasque's, by hugging the eastern border of the map then attacking it directly from the west. Again, you will face little opposition. Once the orange Cerebrate is dead, the Overmind is defenseless. Fly four Medics to its position, and walk them onto each beacon on its perimeter, and the Overmind will be tamed, your mission will be accomplished, and the Terran campaign will be complete.
