"Theirrr advantage only comes in melee. If we could get a carrrrierr out therrre, we would have the advantage. Theirrr space combat tactics arrre rrrudimental, fighting with a pack mentality. But we must trrry to avoid face-to-face combat at all costs. We'll only end up the loserrrs. We must find arrrm's length techniques to deal with them.

On a planet, I would use long-rrrange arrrtillarry to take them out. Something like that. Orrr, involve Intell and surrrgically alterrr a Caitian operrrative to go deeep coverrr to strrrike frrrom within. We may still turrrn the prrrisonerrs, too, if we'rrre extrrremely lucky."
