(Forward Guard/Perfect Strike
GRRRR! I tried to be the authotitative voice, but screwed up my own turn. After all the talk about helping VLAD, I posted one (very important) word wrong and it bit me, harsh lesson; it could have been worse though. Let me try the voice once more, unless someone objects.
OK, I say everyone at the Entry Point stay put and clean up what you have left. Everyone else, Agalanians and all, converge on the LEFT flank and wipe it out. Let's have Jedi go after leaders, Padawans and Guard after pirates. Vlad already called the Strike Force Leader; if he stays, (Don't feel bad about just jumping out, Vlad)I'll assist, or go up against him solo if Vlad jumps. My Cleave is out, but with a Tapped Forward Guard and Perfect Strike I've got tons of Pool. That leaves two leaders and a stack of pirates for the other Jedi and Guard. I'll yell for Argo to help the other Jedi.)
Extremely annoyed and embarrased at his costly mistake in the heat of battle, Andro whirls around and sets his sights on the Pirate's Strike Force Leader. "Argo, let that be a lesson for you: Always be mindful of your surroundings, especially in a situation like this. Now, help the other Jedi for a moment, I'm going after the big guy." Drawing upon the Force and all of his skill, Andro quickly calculates a devastating attack and charges at the Leader.

Gallagher jabs the Rocketman lightly but doesn't finish off just quite.
"Switch!" Gallagher says, indicating that his Padawan go for the Rocketman while Gallagher mops up the pirates in their area.
If pirates get initiative, Gallagher instead stands his ground against the Rocketman and uses Lifting to send the incoming rocket spinning off into the left flank, at the pirates there, to help Vlad.

Xeth is gonna swap CC out for Balanced Guard, letting his sonic blaster slide onto his back via strap and activating his lightsaber.
"Regroup at the tomb entrance," Xeth tells the Agalanians on the right flank. "Tell those Agalanians there to direct all firepower to the left flank now."
Xeth is going to move over to the left flank. If it is two turns to get there, Xeth will spend a point on Dash and move into combat with one of the pirate group leaders. I will pick on A.

THIS IS WHAT WE'VE WAITED FOR

Vera-Kin continues being a whirling death midget to the pirates in her vicinity, not wanting to let them be unattended as everyone rushes to help the flank.
Swap Reflection for Block and use it for +1 Defense please. Attack two pirates.
Ok, let's go. I don't have a confirmed action from Vlad, though, so he'll have to hold still. He mentioned using Ward; without moving he can do that for free with Co-ordination.
Initiative is... yours! Phew.
(Gallagher, note- Lifting does not Reflect attacks; it only defends. In any case, as Vlad is NEXT to the pirates, that plan had built-in drawebacks...)
Andro goes for the enemy pirate leader with a Forward Guard tasp! That's a nasty attack, that is, and Andro hits for 17 damage!
Gallagher kills that rocketman! Gallagher- go to ground D'an and Argo are on pirates. Vera and Essalin between them pretty much massacre their group- but is their work actually the quickest way of bringing te pirates closer to surrender, or it is just more killing? (hint- the latter)
Seeing Andro's great exhortation, Sunda taps Perfect Strike- needing the defence- and rushes over to engage a leqader, as Xeth does the same! Same damage from both...
Though with the Agalanians now focussing fire, the pirates are very much on the defensive, and other than five damage coming Xeth;'s way from the enemy leade,r most of you are fine!
This turn was a refresh round, and I have untapped you accordingly.

I can use Ward without blowing a force point for free if I don't move? Awesome! That's going to come in handy!
So I'm assuming Vlad used Ward the previous turn, keeping him out of harm just in case as his allies come to help him.
I will then swap Balanced Guard with with Perfect Strike, tap Charge for extra offense, and Cleave at Group A Leader and one of the three pirates nearby.
In the swirling chaos of combat you and an enemy engage each other. Fight normally.
If you have Killer Instinct this event becomes a Closing In - You move in close to your opponent, ready for the kill. Fight normally, except you win initiative in the first turn and get a three dice attack bonus.
Better this time Wentar- the guy misses you on the first pass, and only gets you for two on the second before you blast im apart.
Collision Course
Manoeuvre Test (Level 6). You must swerve to avoid a mid space collision. Take 4 damage if you fail.
Look out! Phew, dodged that one... not a real problem in this fighter.
-
Jelena
Coming to the Rescue
Thrust Test (Level 4). You race across to save a comrade. If you pass, one less Mook is destroyed on your side (reduce hits appropriately).
And again, your intact thrust does you well- success!
Refresh
All discards are shuffled back in. Draw again.
Bombing Run
You and two other ships may commence a Bombing Run on a target this turn. Ignore if there are no valid targets.
Good going! You and two others blast away...
-
Roan:
Collision Course
Manoeuvre Test (Level 6). You must swerve to avoid a mid space collision. Take 4 damage if you fail.
Safe! In your case, lucky it wasn't thrust...
-
Three successed from Wentar's pirates is nine hits and would be three kills, but Jelena saves one! One kill in return, but your efforts win this round easily, and you both make a run on the freghter...
... and there is a satisfying explosion! That freighter has lost main power. It's not going anywhere.
Not going as well in the centre- and Roan's group loses the round as well.

(Orthodix Guard/CL/PS - Swap Orthodox Guard back in.
Oh! Let's try catch that hint from Ush. Offer surrender to your pirates. Signal the Agalaniands to back off either way. We have this now, no need to lose any more of them. If the fight doesn't halt, they can take cover in the tomb.)
Figuring his mighty attack made his point to the leader, Andro calls out to him. Backing off enough to leave room to talk, but not too far to strike again, he shouts, "ENOUGH! Surrender now, this fight is lost. There is no need to make this more of a massacre!"
(Another attack if the Leader doesn't give in, otherwise, Andro will back off and signal the others to do the same.)

"I'm heading to the center, Jelena!" Wentar says, as he watches the freighter begin to drift idly as the power cuts out. "Go help Roan finish off the right side."
Move to Centre, 2 Events.

And I think what Ush means about breaking their morale is finishing off their leadership figures. They are probably making rolls to keep their men fighting and I feel the strike force leader probably will not relent.
I am going to hold off killing pirates, telling D'an to do the same. Gallagher activates Coordination and stands his ground, deflecting bolts that come for him. The others are taking care of the strike force leader and his important lackeys.
If I read well I'm all alone on the right flank with 3 guards left. I want those guards to retreat no matter what the pirates say and do.
Entry point is pretty much won so only the left flank remains.
It's time to move to the left flank (with orthodox guard as always but not cleave as it takes me a round to get there).

the guards that are with me should retreat.
I'll move to the left flank.
