1-3; initiative is theirs. A refresh round, though.
With initiative theirs, that's too much for Xeth. He goes down at the south end.
A reminder. ALWAYS spend force points before going down. With no defences up, Xeth going down was a certainty that round if the bad guys got initiative. Going down is ALWAYS a bigger problem than expending force points.
The same thing applies to Jovan, who is brought down at the north.
Vlad- it will take you only a few minutes to get the ship running. That's a few minutes you don't have.

The Jedi are closing in on Xeth's location, interrupting an approaching assault walker.
Damn.
As Xeth strides forward to handle another gun emplacement, in his weariness he momentarily loses track of the yeoman standing nearby. When a bolt catches him in the shoulder, he goes spinning to the ground instead of vivisecting the emplaced gun.
"!!!" he swears loudly in Geonosian as he drops. His lightsaber clatters along the ground.
"Everyone move in!" Jelena says. "Don't stay in the walker's torpedo range! With me, take it down!"
Jelena will move in to slash at the walker's legs with powerful blows, hoping that with this many Jedi assaulting it that it will be overwhelmed before it can cause any harm.
Tap Balanced Guard and tap Bodyguard to protect everyone.
Refresh Orthodox Guard and Cleave. Swap in Orthodox.
With Xeth and Jovan taken down, Vera-Kin decides that she cannot keep going with just her pistol. She drops it and brings out one of her lightsabers and stay behind cover, using the Force to anticipate incoming bolts and batting them away or relying on the ship's hull absorb them.
Are Xeth and Jovan in any immediate danger of dying?
