Final battle of AP Campaign

Um...help?

I know I should build constructors. I figured that much out from the mission description. But how do I keep the Drath from eating me for breakfast? What battle strategy do I use? I'm the sort who, in the regular games, likes to win by cultural influence if possible, or by alliance by trade if not. When facing a serious military threat that won't listen to reason, I simply crank up the military spending and overwhelm them. But that clearly won't work here.

I've been able to bull my way through the rest of the Campaign, with a little help on scenario 3. But this scares me.

Well depending on what difficulty level you're playing on, it's actually fairly easy to beat compared to some of the other levels.

If I remember correctly, I beat it by colonizing the planets in a chain towards the Drath, and just kept moving my fleet of ships that I got at the beginning higher up.  The planets behind the front I had producing the constructors which I used to grab the resources.  I don't remember if I even had to build more transports or attack ships.

Um...there is no chain of planets. Theres my planet, the Altarian planet, and the Drath planet. That's it.

Hmm....maybe I was thinking of Of the Mithrilar.  I just checked the Darkness on Altaria map again and you're right, there isn't a chain of planets.  Similar concept anyway, only you have to increase your range with starbases.
