 In general, as was stated, this mission is rather annoying as you are constantly under attack. This is more a test of endurance than it is actually difficult. If you are easily stressed by constant attacks, this can be draining. But it is actually not that easy to lose this mission, even on hard difficulty. Don't get too scared of low crew. It will be common in the first two thirds of the mission. But seeing to enough crew income to recover is key. At least two, better three Nexus in combination with intelligent re-crewing of Nexus and building ships, that's what will bring you victory.
-And if you need an easy victory, simply don't build any stations. This does make the AI //not// build any Entities and not attacking you. You can then go about the mission one base at a time. Just make sure to attack Entities directed. If you let your units choose their targets themselves, it will take longer.
+And if you need an easy victory, simply don't build any [[Nexus]] (at first). This does make the AI //not// build any Entities and not attack you. You can then go about the mission one base at a time. Just make sure to attack Entities directed. If you let your units choose their targets themselves, it will take longer. You can also build a [[Processing Node]] without any fear of attacks. This way, if by any chance you run out of crew during your attacks (reduces firing rate considerably when you drop to condition red), you can replenish your ships with crew taken from the Processing Node.
 === Story Line ===
 The Borg intend to transport the Omega particle to sector 001 (Earth). The Plejadus Cluster is chosen as a location for the required [[Transwarp Gate]]. As the area is inhabited by the hostile [[Factions#Species 9341]], which cannot be assimilated, there is only one course of action: Destroy them all (hence the name of the mission). Once this is done, the Transwarp Gate is used to get to Earth for the final assault. As the Vulcan Ambassador was intercepted and assimilated by the Borg already, Romulan or Klingon aid will not arrive.

 The [[Mother Entity]] will never attack you in any way. But actually it does have its own defense capability in form of a derivative of the [[Ion Cannon]], named //Plasma Ball//. The only problem with that is: While this weapon requires 600 special weapon energy, the Mother has an upper limit of special weapon energy of only 500. So it can never fire this weapon and is therefore defenseless. This is also the reason why this mission is hard to fail, as it is very unlikely, that you lose Locutus to the crew drain. Nothing on this map can actually inflict direct damage to the Borg ships.
-Another peculiarity comes into play, if you consider the triggering system of the game. If you avoid building stations in this mission, the Entities will not start producing units or heading out to attack you. So you can clear out base after base with little danger.
