Well, Jovan rolls three successes on his eight-dice Force attack- precisely enough to take out one of thje Cultists! And this being a surprise attack, they do not fire back this turn. They will the next though. Luckily, you are close enpough to be able to close and attack in one turn.
Vera cuts down another Cultist with no troubler... and takes no damage thanks to her tap! It is also a Refresh turn for her...
Down to the deck, Xerth! For each success you roll, you avoid one fighter this turn. You roll two successes and the other four fire- this is hopeless, Xeth; trying to shake them is ridiculous! You are slower, larger, more cumbersome, you cannot steer your ship correctly... not a hope. Seven damage taken and in flying down this turn you have got no closer to safety.

Chris thought you should tap Orthodox Guard and attack with Cleave so that you for sure kill the two you attack this turn. And you can tap Cleave so that successes against you are ignored. 🙂
Vera-Kin is going to refresh Cleave and Orthodox Guard, swapping Balanced Guard for Orthodox, and do the above! Tapping Orthodox Guard while attacking two Cultists.

Vera of course should know she cannot refresh Cleave having failed to swap it out...
Okidokey then!
Your current Lightsabre pool is eight, but yuko get 12 dice against these targets as Lightsabres get extra dice against mooks. Any of those dice thaty roll four or more count as a succes,s and with porthodox Guiard outr a single 1 will count as a success also.
However, you are being advised instead to tap your Orthodox Guard which, other than ramping up your defence quite considerably, basically emans that the ionly thing you can roll on this attack that will miss is a 3. Which is why your 12 dice just rolled 10 successes as you make an extremely flashy attack. As you needed three successes to kill one foe and (thabks to Cleave) six successes to kill a second, that's pretty much two dead right away!
And as you tapped CLeave, your fercocious attack scatters the cultists and leaves therm totallydisoragnjsed- the next ten successes they roll against you will be ignored.
And in fact, despite your defences, one of the three remaining does indeed score a success against you this turn, which leaves you 9 saves remaining...

Right, Xeth, sod this...
(of course, normally you have a turret on that ship, but right noew they are crammed with people instead...)
Two successes from yuo blasts down one of those ships (because they might be agile and fast and what not, but these robotic ships ain't much in the decent dodging department...). Still, you take rather a battering!
