This fight is not balanced. The gith are all a complete level 5. They have on average double the PC's group hit points, at least 2 attacks per turn (some have 3), and other very over powered attacks. They can take the main group down in just a few hits and always have initiative. The only way I make it through this encounter is to tell Lae'Zel to be quiet and have a very high persuasion character talk to them. I remember when the game first came out this battle was challenging but not impossible. Now, it us impossible. I keep trying but it is the most frustrating and unfun encounter. I usually end up just giving up and deciding "screw the creche. Lae'Zel can just deal with it". I hope that as new updates happen, and we're able to level up. I'm suck if the just below level 5 cap
