Tom commented, "They're predatory by nature. That Hutet is slow, but powerful. It is their focal point. They don't have to move fast if they're a moving strong point defense. It's basically a trap where they can afford to sit and wait. They have what we want and they either get to keep it or we bring enough to make it an issue. That means they either intend to accomplish what they set out to do before we can get enough ships here to chase them off or destroy them, or this is a diversion to draw ship from somewhere else. They're not attacking the base. They probably want it, they prefer capturing the base of someone else if it can save them from having to build one of their own."
