We should also bear in mind that I remember it was previously possible to male an acrobatic roll to jump on top of a STAP, and from there I believe it's possible to take control of it. About these groups of STAPs, are we supposed to make actions trying to find them or do we already know where each group is? Either way we should simply go for the first group for now.
I'll take in Carnival of Carnage as my gun schtick.
The problem is that it is a VERY difficult roll in this environment, as the STAPs will crash very shorty after you de-pilot them as they hit a tree.
Locating the STAPs is easy; they are not subtle. Stopping them all shooting the crap out of you is the trick.

Denz, whilst you are there, can you clarify if that is a light or heavy pistol thaty you carry?
I'd think something like a semi-auto rifle (like the M1 Garand?) could fit that niche. Extra pool and some kick to it, good choice, Vlad. Remember to run n' gun for cover, and CoC requires you to pick two targets but that shouldn't be much of a problem.
Kiu and Denz can choose what they want; pistoling it has advantages in that you can move to cover whilst doing it, while lightsabers ignore armor and you have higher defense. As Vera pointed out, sabering might be better for you guys.
If you guys roll well, you can lay low everyone in five or six turns.
