Theory of mine.

I have the theory that humhum someone born in the outer region, beyond the rim.
Was on the point to capture humhum someone with battle meditation power, when she atatck with her strike team, since the dude was tactical genius (see CREEEEED) and it could a trap of his own, and since he do not kill first if he can capture then he will try, and Battle meditation is freakin awsome and is an unique power so why the **** not attempt capture.

mmm

This is definitely not about Revan.

Because people doubt about it in Revan stronger than Malak argumentation.

gnégné Malak did capture bastilia Nopt Revan.

Malak had Bastilia Alone cut off of her team, Revan had bastilia + the entire Jedi strike team against him, and was certainly going to win if Malak did not fire.
And since he do not kill or destroy valuable asset. I assume he was going if possible for the capture.
