If Jovan is sensing unfriendly presences, it's likely that he knows they'll attack if he gets spotted.
Vera-Kin will bring out her comlink as she moves way from the Cult, moving back toward the civilians. "Xeth, Jovan, this is Master Vera-Kin. I have found the enemy forces that are attacking our evacuation sight, or will be when they get here. It's the Cult! If they reach our evacuees they'll kill every last one if we don't get them out of here in time."
Fighting them off would keep them away from the group, that's for sure. Is it possible for Vera-Kin to set up an ambush point for one of the groups? I have an idea of dropping part of the bombed out buildings (after weakening it with her lightsaber) on a group and then finishing them off in combat, then moving on to do it as many times as she can.
Vera-Kin has Intrusion (combined with Presence to make herself less interesting) to sneakily spy on the Cultist forward squads and conceal herself for ambush. She can use Observation to judge which way the groups are going to put the ambush right in front of them. She has her lightsaber (of course) to weaken the already damaged buildings or debris, then Lifting to hold them up until the Cultists come through.
And, just for the record, she will have Balanced Guard, Block, and Cleave loaded in for the fight.
Smiling to himself as the last Vulture goes down, Wentar turns the Free Flier around and lines up a shot at the droids in the central battle.
Divebomb on the droids by Sean please, preferably aiming at the cluster of 3.
The forces sent to reinforce the Center Battle will be from the forces guarding the Hailfires, yeah?
