Diesel's Dawn of Defiance

Switch listens, seemingly amused by your debate. He only speaks when asked a question. "Stormtroopers?" he replies to Rain, speaking slowly to the red haired woman as if unsure she can understand. "Sel Zonn is large, and the Imperial garrison is relatively small. There should be no more troopers there than you encountered on the Promenade, perhaps a scattered squad on routine patrol. That would be 4 to 6 soldiers. Likewise, the hangar bay should have no special security, although one may encounter station personnel performing duties there."
Looking at Bel he says,"As I said earlier, Blue Deck is exclusive, not restricted. There is nothing to physically bar anyone from entering there. Of course, any unescorted alien would be ejected immediately.Blue Deck is the domain of the wealthy and noble, but any human looking as if they belonged there would be able to travel about unmolested. Although, some of you," he says looking at Rain and Ashlin's garb,"may look less out of place than others.."
Switch pauses to put away the cred stick and clears his throat. "Regarding a ship's clearance, Blue Deck is the sole place on the station where Imperial vessels are permitted to dock. However, Sel Zonn station is a civilian XQ2 platform. Its exterior defenses are so light as to be nonexistent, and the only system guarding the hangar bay's exit and entrance via space is a standard magnetic shield, which I need not remind such beings as yourselves, only serves to keep the bay's atmosphere within the bay". Switch seems to almost wink. "One may do with this information as one wishes."
The droid rises. "I believe I have now imparted information equal to the payment given." His voice is full of genuine disappointment. " I would like to continue, but alas, other duties now press upon my time. R5 shall..."
Switch stops, as outside in the corridor, you each hear the familiar whine of blaster fire accompanied by the squeals of the Gamorreans. The sounds, although muffled by the closed blast door, are unmistakable. A red light begins flashing on Switch's desk, causing him to sit down again.
"Curious,"he says in a detached voice."it would appear that someone is attempting to override the blast door's lock".The droid puches at a keypad, then stops. Someone quite skilled; I cannot prevent this from occurring."
"My calculations indicate a low probability- 5,166 to 1- that any of you have betrayed me," he says matter of factly."So I apologize for this impolite interruption,and suggest you ready yourselves, gentle beings. Someone uninvited has decided to attend our meeting. And unfortunately, that blast door is the only exit out of this storage bay."
The droid leans down and begins searching his desk."Now where have I mislaid my pistol?" he says, his voice, for the first time, tinged with any trace of irritation.
The blast door reverberates with loud clangs as one by one, the lock mechanisms open...
[sblock=ooc]I may have committed a continuity error, but the blast doors were closed when you entered the bay- I omitted mentioning it.
To the point : you have 2 rounds to perform whatever actions you want before the door opens. Your initiative order is :
Rain
Ardon
Ashlin
UbD
Bel
I have also attached a map of bay V14 for reference. It opens up to a large size so slow connections beware.
As an FYI, note the crates flanking Switch's desk are piled to 10 feet high, the pile of debris in the lower right is 6 feet high. Scale is 5 feet per square.
Blast door is assumed to be at center of bottom edge of
map. [/sblock]

Bel moves up to the blast doors and stands to one side, powering up his force pike, making sure it is set to stun.
He flattens himself against the wall and poises to strike the first enemy through the door.
[sblock=OOC]Move to one side of the blast door. Try and hide by keeping myself flat up against wall. Ready an action to attack the first hostile guy coming through the door. My weapon is set to stun, so if it hits, it will do 6 damage, and if their damge threshold is 13 or lower, move them -2 down the condition track. Stealth: 6; Attack: 9+action point= 14; Damage: 13 [/sblock]

Rain listen's to the droids explinations of the security of the station. "Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us Switch. I think then that the best thing to do would be to have Maya's ship enter the bay directly once we find the cargo, and leave the station directly from there."
The red-headed warrior rose at the sounds of fighting outside and drew her blaster pistol from its thigh sheath, next she walked over to the pile of debris closest to the door, utting herself next to the cover that it provided.
Once she was in place, Rain closed her eyes and took a deep calming breath and began to steady herself through the force, drawing in the force until she was fairly bursting with life energy.
(First turn draw her blaster and move, second turn spend a force point to activate her DR 10. The DR 10 will last for 10 turns.)

Ashlin runs over behind the crates that UbD is already taking cover behind and again fiddles with her blaster. She nods at the droid and takes aim at the blast doors, ready for anything...
(Using Personalized Weapon for 1 std action, and readying an action with the second to fire on the first thing through the door)

As the group moves into position, Switch accepts Ardon's pistol with a grateful nod. Armed, the droid crouches behind his desk and pushes a button on his console.
From behind the stack of crates to the right of the desk, a scratched and dented B1 battle droid emerges. Passing and ignoring the five beings preparing themselves, it marches next to the desk, blaster carbine at the ready.
"Zzz.defend..defend.."it intones, its voice fuzzy from an apparently imperfect vocabulator.
Finally, the last door lock bangs open, and the blast door flies upward. Eight figures stand in the darkened doorway, three abreast. One apparently human, stands to one side near the door's control panel bathed in shadows. The others however are easier to make out.
In front are two Rodians, one with blue-green skin, and an Aqualish. Behind them you see 2 wookies- the greymaned wookie that earlier growled at UbD and another, shorter one-a female with black fur. Next to the wookies stands another Aqualish,a specimen of the four eyed variety. And behind them is the massive shape of Ganga Lor.
All save Ganga are armed with both vibro axes and pistols, though only the wookies wield the axes as weapons.
From the back row, the Chevin pulls outhis blaster and shouts, "Fry em boys-and a bonus for whoever brings me me the head of the droid!"
From his hiding spot Bel lurks near the Aqualish, who does not see the human standing dangerously nearby.

As the door slides open in a haze of smoke, Ashlin opens fire at the first creatures through it; in this case the Rodians. When the towering, shaggy shapes of wookies come in behind them she winces.
"Probably shoulda killed the big guys first," she laments.

Rain fires her blaster at the large Aqualish thug in the lead, but her lack of familiarity with the weapon is telling as the bolt strikes the ceiling above the creatures head. Biting back snarl the red-haired warrior woman draws her vibro-blade from over her shoulder with her off-hand and flicks it to life.
