The pirates throw themselves at you, but you Draw your lightsaber and cut one of them down in your Twirl, the other ducking under your blade as it sweeps through.
Trax makes sure that the slaves advance into the area.

A single pirate attacks you, the others opening fire on the incoming slaves! A standard dodge for you keeps you clear from the attack, but two of your fighters are blasted down. Your snapped attack goes in on a 20, running the pirate through.
Down the corridor, more doors open as pirates respond to the gunfire... and the Taskmaster has reappeared!

Next action, more slaves will come to reinforce you.
The Taskmaster is down the corridor and not within Striking distance, so I will simply perform a snapped attack on another pirate. Easy money, Xavier, that pirate too is run through.
The pirates, having come out from their quarters, use their opened hatch doors as cover. They duck behind them when the slaves blast at them. The thick doors prove to be excellent cover; the bolts send showers of sparks everywhere, but only one pirate is hit, a bolt burning his shoulder. That pirate falls out of cover, leaving him an easy target for Trax to finish off.
The grenadier tries his luck with a grenade. The pirates scatter in fear of the explosion... but it turns out that the grenade was a dud. It sparks and sputters some smoke, but no explosion.

More slaves have joined you, and a Heavy with his concussion rifle. The grenadier has two more grenades.
The cover consists of multiple hatch doors that have been opened in the hallway. If the heavy blasts through their cover, he will kill any pirates with the explosion. The grenadier is lucky enough to ignore their cover.
Advancing down the corridor a short distance, you raise your lightsaber as a shield in your Defense. Incoming blaster bolts from five pirates are easily deflected, but the Taskmaster seems to catch you out and barely slips a shot past your guard for 2 damage.
Trax dodges one of the three pirates attacking him, but takes hits from a 17 and a 15, for 6 and 4 damage respectively, 10 points total.
Four slaves are shot down, and the pirates receive more reinforcements as the motley crew keeps emerging from their quarters.

The pirates are in striking distance; in this instance, you can ignore their cover with your lightsaber. The Taskmaster is hanging back, keeping his distance from you.
You pick out a pair of pirates, cowering behind a door as you approach. But the door is an obstacle you can ignore. With an upward diagonal slash to the right, your lightsaber cuts straight through the door and kills them both. No sweat, Xavier.
The exchange of gunfire back and forth down the corridor is fierce. The slaves pour their blaster fire into the nearest pirates, the doors rattling with sparks. Three pirates get shot down.
Trax guns for the Taskmaster, dealing 7 damage on a snapped attack.
The grenadier tries his luck again, tossing another grenade. This time it lands in a place amongst the pirates... but turns out to be a flash-bang grenade. Flashing bursts of light fill the corridor briefly, stunning two pirates for a moment.
The heavy also has no luck; his concussive blast smashes into a side of the corridor, warping the metal.

The first grenadier has one grenade left, but a second has arrived with nine more slaves.
Five pirates attempt to shoot you down as you continue your terrifying advance, spinning across the corridor between doorways and deflecting shots as you go. One hits you for 3 damage. The rest of the pirates keep hammering away at your forces, killing four.
The Taskmaster has changed targets, having been irked by Trax. The shot he fires zips straight down the corridor and burns across Trax's shoulder for 7 damage despite his dodge.
