Now you have two options.  Crush Aldaris mercilessly with an overwhelming army, or do a quick but powerful strike to kill only him.  The first one involves using your newly captured resources to build up a group of scouts and carriers, and doing the usual smashing through defenses.  Launching an attack from the west side by air seems to be the easiest way into his base.

The second one is a variation on the classic "Reaver Drop."  Get a pack of shuttles (I did it with 4, but the more, the merrier!), and a pack of Dark Archons.  If you have plenty of resources and weren't worn down by enemy attacks, build some scouts for air cover.  Load your archons into the shuttles, move as close as you can to Aldaris without alerting the photon cannons, and then order all of your shuttles to unload on his platform.  Send your scouts in at the same time to draw fire.  As soon as a Dark Archon hits the platform, use Mind Control on Aldaris.  Instant win.  Enjoy the ensuing cutscene and plot twists.
