Desc:
The Collective have broken the biggest push of the Khephrin Dominion, leaving flanking War Fleets to continue on into the Star Walker Quadrant. An outlying Cargo Lane becomes the target of the most advanced War Fleet.

Oh, and this map means that the Khephrins have properly entered our quadrant btw, so feel free to have your own battles with them now. :)

I had good fun with this one- not too hard, very consistent difficulty throughout the map, and the cargo lane was cool.
It's just a shame that the victory condition requires ripping apart the left hand side and seeing the spawners and such that are making it work in detail. But that's me getting VERY picky.

Glad you enjoyed!

And yeah, since I wanted that "Rift Gate" to be destructible, taking it apart one spawner at a time is the only way to nail it. Still, ignoring limitations of the tools I had to work with, I just imagine that you have to hit the Gate several times to take it down, each structure you kill inside destabilises it (preventing further traffic) until it's shut down for good. I also quite liked how each time you hit the Gate, the explosion from a structure will send the deadly particles flying everywhere beyond the fields, which happened to murder my two Grubs time and again. XD

How to beat entire fleet:

Make a benign particle emitter look like a portal
Watch the destruction of the entire fleet that thinks the ships are going through XD
