I think it was EMP. Tachs didn't touch them due to permacloak.

Actually, Tachyon warheads can penetrate tachyon beam immunity (as they aren't beams, but an explosion. ;)). You can demonstrate this quite easily by detonating a tachyon warhead on a planet with a rally post. The rally post will be decloaked, even though it is tachyon beam immune.

Proving the point:  If tachyons don't work, use more tachyons.

Tachyon them from orbit.  It's the only way to be sure!
My other bonus ship is a TARDIS.

So how do you get more Tachyon than a Tachyon Warhead? A mark III Tachyon-based doomsday device?

You don't have to, there's nothing a Tachyon Warhead cannot decloak.

(even the subspace signals in Fallen Spire, to my embarrassment)
