Protect the Defector
As you're cleaning up the remaining carrier groups, they'll begin to move toward your mothership. Follow them with your capital-ship group and the rest of your fleet. During the battle, you'll watch a cutscene of a Taiidan destroyer broadcasting a message indicating they're willing to defect if you protect them from attack.
When the cutscene ends, immediately grab your capital-ship group and target the ion cannon frigates and destroyers attacking the defector. They'll turn their weapons on you. Eliminate them. Keep the large amount of enemy strike craft and corvettes in the area occupied with your own interceptors and corvettes. Continue to attack other capital ships, carriers, and any Taiidan support frigates.
During the fight, fleet intelligence informs you that the defector has been transported aboard the mothership, and it's safe to hyperspace. You could hyperspace to the next mission at this point or eliminate the remaining Taiidan fleet and take time to collect all the map's resources.
Once the mothership is safe, make sure your resource collector and controller are patrolling and harvesting. Investigate any remaining red blips. You might locate one or many Taiidan support frigates that were left behind. Use some salvage corvettes (it takes two to snag a support frigate) to steal them. Once you've harvested all the resources, hyperspace to the next mission, which starts calmly, so you don't need to organize your fleet.
