Oh, my bad, forgot to remind you that you are without your lightsaber until frame 5. Defend doesn't work without your sword, after all. I'll give you a freebie; your attacker misfires.
The other six pirates fire! While they are all using different types of guns, their weapons all fall under the blaster carbine category, giving them +2 to hit.
Jan dodges the attack on him, but it skims him!
Cabas lets it come, instinctually angling his lightsaber directly into the path of the shot. Saber Shield makes that a hit for no damage. It bounces away harmlessly.
Three of the security men are under fire. However, Cabas comes to their rescue, using Bodyguard to defend them. With his Reflections, he angles the shots back towards their attackers, away from the security team. He reflects back a killing shot and two wounding hits.

Your lightsaber has returned! More pirates enter, but your team will strike before they do...
Chaaaarge! You dash forwards, lightsaber held high.
Behind you, the security team provides covering fire. As the newly arrived pirates were not there until frame 6, the security team wipes out the pirates that had already been through the entrance.
Jan takes out two pirates with his rapid fire and Carnival of Carnage.
Cabas activates Ward.

I'll take your given defense to move things along.
The pirates fire as you close. Three shots on you, one on Jan, one on Cabas, the rest on the security team.
Defend keeps you safe. They fire poorly at rapidly approaching Jedi, it seems.
Jan takes a dodge. Also clear.
Cabas Reflects, killing a pirate who rolls a 3 against him. He also continues to Bodyguard three of the security team. The pirates roll 19, 1, and 10 against the guards, but under Cabas' protection, the guards have a passive dodge of 16. The first shot nearly slips by, but he elects to take the damage himself. The second and third shot are reflected back for kills.

You're on the same frame as the pirates, but you act first!
You press head, reaching the pirates on frame 12. That marks the end of one sequence and the start of another, refreshing your Force pool.
The security team gives covering fire, picking off three pirates and wounding three more. Jan finishes off the two most wounded.
Cabas chooses to bide his time, staying defensive.
Pirates fire again. Five shots against you, then three and three on Jan and Cabas. Nothing hits you as you plow into their midst, and Cabas covers Jan with a Master Reflection (repelling all two of Jan's attackers for reflected kills) and himself with Defend. Jan is hit for 5 damage while Cabas takes 4.

Once again, Cabas chooses to bide his time as more pirates flood the doorway.
Pirates will be firing on you again before you can strike. Maintaining the same defense?
As you plow into the bad guys, the security team provides covering fire, killing off six pirates with their repeating pistols and wounding another.
Pirates fire again! Six attacks on you, Xavier, as you're uncomfortably close to them. The majority of the shots miss, but you are clipped for 4 damage. How terrible.
The other seven attacks are distributed amongst the security team. One man is caught in the throat by a blast, putting him down. Cabas covers the last three (including the already injured man), but chooses to take the damage himself to spare their lives.
Cabas' damage was incorrect, forgot to factor in Saber Shield. Corrected...

This time, as the pirates replenish their lost numbers and then some, they are led in by a dark-furred Wookiee wielding a particularly nasty sword. He roars in your direction.
"Tell your security team to retreat," Cabas says to Jan.
"But..."
"Do it!"
Grudgingly, Jan does so, while Cabas moves forwards to join you.
Your move.
"Hold at the B Deck!" Jan orders to the security team, pulling back with them. They vanish up the stairs.
Cabas Blurs after you.
You make your Sword Whirl, then Twirl your lightsaber at the Wookiee and a pirate. 5s! You miss as they backstep, out of your blade's reach.
Cabas then moves up to join you.

The pirates are going to fire, and the Wookiee is going to attack you with an overhead swing of his oversized sword.
You dodge, and the Wookiee misses, the sword clanging into the floor.
The pirates fire, concentrating 22 attacks between you and Cabas. Even with the leadership of the Wookiee, they cannot concentrate with you so close and fearsome. They only get 11 damage on you.
Cabas decides to Defend, rather than Reflect. His dodge helped minimize the damage, but he takes 14 damage as well.

The pirates are going to attack again, with the Wookiee taking another whack at you.
This time, the pirates are reinforced by only four pirates...and an Osokan. Those five newcomers will not attack this turn, instead getting into position.
Your dodge keeps you safe from some close hits, but you gather 15 damage. Could have been worse. The Wookiee misses again.
Cabas Defends, narrowly avoiding many shots but taking 8 damage.
He then decides that he has had enough of these pirates. He initiates a Spin, cutting down four pirates, then a Cleave, cutting down a fifth.

Cabas' damage was incorrect again. Fixed.
That pirate stays clear, but the dodging Wookiee gets a 20 rolled against him. He takes 15 damage, roaring furiously. He tries to respond with another swing, but you step clear of it when you strafe all the incoming shots. Only 2 damage from the pirate guns this time.
Cabas Defends, choosing to Reflect the last shot on him. Three 19s on him mean 9 damage despite the Defend, but his Reflection downs another pirate.
The Osokan attacks Cabas with a hunting knife, but misses.

Cabas is going to attack the Wookiee this time.
You roll a 10 on the Osokan, slashing him terribly for 15 damage. He grunts, more annoyed than pained.
Cabas does likewise on the Wookiee with Strike, inflicting 15 damage.
The Osokan and the Wookiee both miss.
Defend keeps you two mostly clear, but you each take 5 damage from successful pirate shots.

Pool refreshes as the pirates manage to get off another round of shots.
Cabas opts for two Master Reflections, ricocheting six shots from him. One shot skims him. 2 damage. However, the other five he reflects easily. He gets three kills out of the deal.
On you, 11 damage from the shots, even with Defend.
Pig and Wookiee miss again, both growling in frustration.
