The center of the landing zone is six frames distant.
Someone activating a lightsaber in the midst of the Republic soldiers gets Xorn's and Friste's attention almost immediately.
"Toy with him," Friste says.
"My pleasure," Xorn replies.
What'll it be, Xavier?
Let's get rolling! We'll do all the Named Characters first...
You act ahead of everyone present. Xavier has a Force Attack of 12, upped to 13 by the MKP of Combat Push. You roll a 19. All too easy... the pirate you target gets smashed into the side of the transport and collapses. Kind of wasteful on a single target, though.
Trax goes next, blasting at the pirates with Carnival of Carnage. A 3 is a dead-on hit, but that does nothing with mooks. But a 9 is a kill! One of the pirates is hit by a burst from Pruneface.
Next, Friste... the Dark Jedi is going to shoot at the Republic soldiers to the North. Because he is so ridiculous when it comes to taking out mooks, thanks to his tremendous pistol, Carnival of Carnage, and Gunslinger... he super-snaps two attacks.
It is an almost sickening sight. Friste squeezes the trigger rapidly, the huge pistol kicking back and ejecting its spent gas cartridges like brass casings the size of his index finger. The powerful blasts blow straight through the Republic soldiers as he takes down all three in his first volley. On the second he blows down another two, the lasers knocking the soldiers violently backwards, and wounds a third with 1 hit.
Captain Somos next. An unremarkable marksman, he snaps a shot and kills a single pirate.
Finally, Xorn shows off the versatility of Both Guns Blazing. Snapping his attack and partially ignoring cover with Eagle Eye, he shoots down the soldier North that Friste wounded and then kills one of the field gun crew to the South.
The gun battle between the Republic soldiers and the pirates is fast and furious. The soldiers with Captain Somos manage to shoot down a full fourteen pirates just as they depart their transports, and the soldiers with you bring down another thirteen. That leaves fifty pirates who target the North only, taking out seventeen soldiers despite their cover.
Lastly the field guns fire off, but they are targeting the first transport that landed. The proton rockets smash into the thick hull and set it aflame.

I did not spend the Defend for Xavier; he did not need it as nobody attacked him. You also may want to consider setting up what you defense will be if Xorn or Friste shoots at you.
Initiative is Xavier's!
Again Xavier gestures roughly towards a group of pirates. 3, 3, 13... hmm, only one pirate brought down as he trips over himself and smacks his head on the concrete. This is not the sort of thing that Xavier has mastered.
Suddenly, you feel an intense wave of hatred wash over you, emanating from Friste. The fear from the soldiers is making him strong, and his power grows from it. He has activated Dark Emotions and Strength from Fear. Using the Force to increase his lethality, he makes three super-snap attacks on the troopers! Two kills in the first, one kill in the second, three kills in the third. Six total.
Trax shoots down one pirate. Then, Captain Somos tries shooting Friste, but a 1 isn't even going to kill a mook.
Xorn drops another man on the field gun to the south, leaving one man operating the heavy weapon.
The Republic soldiers with you mow down more pirates, but with Friste laying waste to them, the remaining soldiers with Somos fail to kill any targets. They are shot down by the pirates, leaving just Captain Somos and the field gun crew to the North. Nine soldiers are blasted down around you.

Things seem to have become grim very quickly, Xavier.
Ok then Xavier sees that something has got to change here. Friste and Xorn are tearing them a part. Can Xavier reach pirates in one turn and still attack? If so he will do so and try to use twirl to attack both Friste and Xorn.
If not he will Blur and do the same thing anyways.
If he can not use twirl then he will just attack Friste using Strike.
"Ok men focus all fire power on the pirates, you to Trax. I'll make get Friste and Xorn to hold off."
And Defend for defense
Okay, six frames to get to the pirates, total. Xavier moves half the distance in two frames with Blur.
It seems that Xorn and Friste are not quite ready for the all-out duel you have in mind. They fire on the move, using Blur to quickly move towards the North side. Friste obliterates the field gun crew with his huge pistol, blasting straight through their cover.
Xorn rolls 8 and 9... nope. Xavier dodges to one side with the Force.
Standing alone, Somos tries shooting Friste. He misses.
Trax brings down a pair of pirates.
A few pirates drop, but they shoot well against the Republic soldiers this turn. What really keeps the pirates in check is that the field gun decides to give up on the freighters and shoot at them, blowing a smoldering hole in the landing strip where four pirates used to be.

Xavier carries on. His Force pool refreshes by the time Xorn shoots at him again, and the Dark Jedi shoots well this turn. 17 damage to Xavier as the bolts nearly get past his lightsaber.
Friste seems to have taken offense to Somos shooting at him. He leaps over Somos' cover and shoots at him point-blank for 11 damage. Somos shoots back, missing again.
In a final volley, the Republic soldiers are finished off by the pirates... but the field gun is still pumping and clears out four more pirates alongside Trax's two. Leaving Xavier in the midst of a dozen cut-throats.

Also, ahhh, forgot to list Xavier's remaining damage from his fun times on Alouloth. Fixed, much as you may not like it...
I will assume that you want to clear out the pirates totally before moving to take on Xorn and Friste. A snapped attack takes a single frame, and so Xavier makes three frantic strikes at the pirates. The first pirate receives a fine slash across his front, but it doesn't seem to do him in as he only takes four hits. The next pirate is swiftly decapitated, and the last is nearly missed (only two hits), but a reroll sees to it that Xavier was just coming around for another pass that cuts him in half.
And then Trax for the assist! That first pirate that Xavier wounded goes down when Trax shoots him in the back. The former slave then blasts down another two with burstfire. Pruneface is not happy to see his former captors!
Xorn shoots across the tarmac at the last soldier, rendering the field gun useless without a user. He fires both guns at him, the bolts pinging off the gun's cover before striking him in the head.
Friste tosses his pistol aside and swiftly calls to hand his curved-hilt lightsaber, the red blade flashing to life just as the Dark Jedi initiates a whirling slash at Somos. An 18 means 28 damage to Somos, the lightsaber burning across the front of his uniform. The Republic officer shoots back, but Friste does not even flinch as the shot passes by his head.

The pirates are going to shoot at Xavier, and so is Xorn...
In the midst of the pirates, Xavier twists and turns to intercept incoming shots with his lightsaber, but still manages to rack up 8 points of damage for his troubles. He then snaps an attack, suddenly breaking out of his defensive maneuver to decapitate another pirate. Trax clears out another three with his blasts.
Xorn blasts away at Xavier, one of his shots catching the renegade Jedi in the leg for 10 damage! This takes Xavier to 61 damage, and a -1 penalty.
Friste swipes at Somos with Strike, but actually misses despite being fueled by the Dark Side. On a second Strike he manages to cut the gun out of Somos' hand and take a few fingers with it, for 24 damage. Somos falls to his knees in agony and shock, screaming.
