Okay! We continue!
Round Fifteen!
As Shom fires again, Denny unleashes a bolt from the blaster cannons. Both find the mark, and in the space of an instant, a 1m patch of bladegrass is leveled, and made safe to walk. Only 29 sq. meters of bladegrass to freedom!
As Ka-Jor contains the remaining refugees directly behind the eastern berm, Tilon walks over next to where Shom is standing, and fires his holdout blaster. It misses high.
Meanwhile, as Pog and Kerracor affect the final welds to the new platform on other STAP, Hiru finds himself deep in the bowels of the Sanctuary, the smell of fried circuitry evident in the air. Rounding the corner of a service corridor, he almost misses the cabinet marked "S PPLI S." Opening it, he finds a canister marked "Coolant". The canister contains roughly 1 liter. A datapad sits next to it on a shelf.
The Seps continue to make progress toward your position, and can now fire at anything high enough in the air...
Shom's voice trails out over the comlink: "Hey, Denny! Just park that thing over here and fire, no use getting shot!"
Meanwhile, the gormaloks are all safely away from the commotion, and Alice and the Falleen stand in the clearing you're trying to get to.
Actions?

"Harrumph! That takes all the fun out of it." Denny brings the STAP to what would be a screeching, had it had wheels, halt just above the short path that's been cleared through the bladegrass. He continues strafing the vile vegetation, slowly creeping the speeder forward as the bladegrass succumbs to the delicate ministrations of his blaster cannons.

In the interest of moving this along...
Round Sixteen
* intact
. leveled (safe for travel)
% partially cut down
As Denny, aboard the STAP, joins the rest of the grass-clearing party, the guns of Shom and Tilon ring out another salvo.
The blaster cannon on the airspeeder connects with a thwack, and bladegrass remnants fall down around a patch in the middle, leaving it at about half size.
Shom's blaster responds with a click and a warning light (roll: 1), indicating that the power pack has been completely depleted. Undeterred, Shom fishes through his uniform, finds a replacement, and reloads.
Tilon's strategy of concentrating and aiming low pays off, as the square of grass immediately to the left of the path falls down like timber (roll: 20, 14).
[I'm houseruling that on a confirmed critical, you get the whole square. Otherwise, it's 50 pts at DR 2 to level a square. And you need to clear a meter on either side of where you walk to avoid AOO from the bladegrass, thus the 3m wide.]
Meanwhile, back at the other STAP, the platform has been welded, and Pog and Kerracor are forced to stand around and wait for Hiru to show up with the repair items.
Hiru, in the bowels of the ship, switches on the datapad to reveal:
Supply Log, 0129345: Replenished Stock of All-Purpose Coolant in Station Four, Republic Starship Sanctuary.
Stuart Climer
Mechanic's Assistant
Main Spaceport, Alderaan
Figuring that this probably confirms that he's got the right material, Hiru hurries back to the exterior, and the wounded STAP. [Hiru - do you wish to keep the datapad?] (Hiru will return to the STAP in three rounds.)
The refugees are getting a tad restless at the lack of progress on the bladegrass [failed Command check DC 10], and begin to ask tough questions of the Jedi in their midst (that would be you, Ka Jor) in irreverent tones. Specifically, they wonder why only three people are firing away.
The Separatist forces soldier on, cutting bladegrass at a superior rate to the Republic. They are now about 75m from the near berm.

[I'm going to wait a little longer for anyone that hasn't posted this round to do so if they want to move off the default action; otherwise, it's default actions for another round. At this rate, with the other STAP pitching in as soon as possible, you just barely might avoid me laying major hurt on characters...]
While he waits, a quick trip down memory lane reminds Pog that airspeeders, especially mass-produced, droid-driven knockoffs like these, generally would need a different engine entirely to provide enough thrust for more than one person. It looks like the main benefit to that STAP right now is the double blaster cannon mounted on its fuselage...
