The Wolkar frigates and FERALs only conceeded to the idea of taking them alive simply for the sake of ensuring they would beg for death before the end would actually come, their desire to avenge their fallen brothers overriding their usual sense of calm and kindness. With good speed the FERALs were able to get close enough for their grenade rounds to do serious damage to the engines with the aim to cripple them, the armored mechs boarding and latching onto the ship before using their collective boosters to start pulling the slagged vessel back towards the station to be dealt with.

While the Litharians were moving to non lethal ammunition to take one in alive, the Wolkar were using less... civilized ways to take them alive mostly. While a few were resorting to the immobilizing foam so they can be interrogated and executed publically, most just opted to use the retractable blades to hack off the legs of the enemies that they had successfully beaten to a bloody pulp and cauterizing the wounds with the flamethrower. If the Wolkar were more level headed they might have concluded to leave the crippled ones alive and let them go afterward so they could spend the rest of their lives as invalids. However, their traditions were clear. Those who attack the pack shall meet their end. And meet it they shall.
