Quite. Unfortunately it does not cover your eyes so you are out of luck there, but you can fight normally. Everyone else faces increasing penalties if they are not wearing a mask as the gas thickens.
As you put on your rebreather, Arneth has drawn his pulse pistol.
"Your move, Jedi!" Arneth says, and with a skillful flip he jumps deeper into the crowd. The gas is beginning to fill the air and obscure everyone's vision, like an unnatural fog that stings you if you breath it.
You follow your senses... which tell you that Arneth has gone ahead. You plunge into the gas clouds, your eyes watering from discomfort. Ahead you hear the buzz of blasters and shouting, and you happen upon a group of miners led by Arneth who are trying to break the defensive line of Squad C.

You get initiative and nimbly leap over the miners toward Arneth. The soldiers are also pour their blasterfire into the Dark Jedi as he seems to be the most threatening. He spends a Force point on Defensive Leap, stylishly flipping through the air to evade gunfire... putting the miners between himself and you once more. He takes light damage when using his Leap with Coordination.
The miners shoot back, but their blasters are largely ineffectual against those shields.

Rianna gets initiative again, and this time Arneth does not evade her. She whips out a hand and catches the Dark Jedi by surprise, causing him to fumble his landing and roll. She jumps after him and makes a flying slash that would have decapitated him had he not rolled clear. Nine successes is 15 damage.
Arneth recovers by spraying a flurry of lasers at Rianna, giving him time to get clear. He taps both 10,000 Bolts and Gunslinger in his attack. Seven successes on eight dice, three successes on six dice, three successes on four dice, and then he misses. All told, 19 damage to Rianna, and Arneth breaks out of the situation as the miners get shot down...
Direction, Observation, or Sense?
The density of the gas increases. Everyone is at -1 to their dice pool unless they have a mask.
Hmm... this time you are not so sure of your direction. You make your way through the riot, toward the center. The miners who have stayed to fight and riot have moved toward the edges and so the center is less dense with people, but it is not empty.
Dalt stands there, trying to pick off soldiers from a distance. He sees you coming out of the gas clouds and kicks one of the dispensing canisters in your direction.
His trick worked. Those canisters are compressed and, though it has been dispensing, it explodes when it comes into contact with your lightsaber. You only take 3 damage, at least.
"There's more of us than of them!" Dalt shouts. "We want freedom and you can't stop us from getting it!"
He swings his pistols toward you, a scrappy pair of blasters.

Dalt gets three successes. You deflect the shots, but those paired pistols are a lot to handle.
"So you'd have me believe!" Dalt shouts. "The Republic has never done anything here!"

This is not the time to talk him down, Rianna. You are better off vanishing into the gas if you do not mean to stop him.
