You take the escape tunnel and meet Bazinga in the garage.
You find that one of the two AT-ST walkers is gone—but the other walker and the eight functional 74-Zb speeder bikes in the garage are operational and practically ready to go, the guards you stunned still knocked out.
You can each take one speeder bike, or up to three PCs can ride in the AT-ST (one pilot, one gunner, and one engineer squeezing into the back).You must decied fast. After all, if Lieutenant Sarev reaches that comm tower and sends his message, your takeover of the base will be compromised, and your hard work will be wasted. It's time to go!
Silhouette: The size of the craft, from 1 (person sized) to 10 (the size of a truly massive war ship). Speed: The speed of the vehicle. Faster craft can cover more ground and have an edge in dogfighting. Handling: If this is a positive number, this many Boost dice are added to any Piloting check made to steer the vehicle. If it is a negative number, that many Setback dice are added to Piloting checks instead. Armor: Similar to soak, armor reduces incoming damage the ship would otherwise suffer. Hull Trauma Threshold: When a vehicle suffers damage that isn't blocked by armor, this damage is suffered as hull trauma. When the amount of hull trauma exceeds the hull trauma Threshold, the vessel is disabled or, if it is an NPC craft, destroyed. System Strain Threshold: Vehicles and starships can suffer strain much like characters and for the same reason (to perform a second vehicle maneuver, or as a consequence of uncanceled Threat on checks). To differentiate it from personal strain, this strain is called system strain. When a vehicle suffers system strain in excess of its system strain threshold, the craft is disabled. Note that system strain cannot be recovered by rolling Advantage O on checks. It can only be repaired via the Damage Control action.
Bazine quickly hops into the pilot seat of the rusty AT-ST, flicks a few switches here and there, and the machine hums to life. Waiting half a second for her two crewmates to hop in, she quickly grabs the delicate controls and steers the vehicle out of the garage, and rapidly attempts to chase down the fleeing Lieutenant.
With a whir and a clank, Bazine pilots the AT-ST, rushing it out of the hangar, pursuing the path that Lieutenant Sarev has left behind him. The lieutenant clearly favored speed over subtlety, but you can still see his AT-ST in the distance, tromping forward through the jungle. Suddenly, an alert flares to life on your vehicle, warning that a group of objects is moving in quickly from behind. The signal indicates that they are Imperial, likely sent by Sarev to cover his retreat. With a shriek, a pack of speeder bikes carrying scout troopers comes tearing past, firing a salvo of blaster bolts at your craft! You manage to avoid them, but the AT-ST suffers 4 system strain! Two for the extra maneuver and two for performing a shortcut action (out of 12).
We need to establish initiative so everyone make cool tests.
Arkhan settles in to the gunner controls, and chuckles, “I’ve always wanted to give these walkers a test drive. Bazine, drive her like she’s rented! I’ll take out some of these bikers.” Arkhan swivels the guns down toward the swarming bikes and unleashed the heavy turrets onto the imps (1 success, 2 advantage activating linked: 12 total damage)
One of the bikes is hit straight on and vanishes in a fireball, leaving behind a blackened bike husk that harmlessly bumps into the walkers leg before being stomped on its path towards it’s prey. The other shot clips the side of another bike, sending it screaming out of control and smashing head on into a tree, leaving behind a smashed metal wreck. “YAAAAAAHOOOOOOOOO!” The grizzled Bothan lets put a pleased howl of excitement, “We need to keep this one!”

Jin turns her bike and fires the cannon at the remaining bike, hitting the engine, which promptly explodes. She turns and guns the engine after the AT. "You are not getting away."

"We've almost got him, guys!" Bazine screams out through the comm link, a little too excitedly, causing a piercing feedback to reverberate through the AT-ST cabin.
"....sorry!"
"BUT LOOK, HE'S RIGHT THERE!" she shouts again as she points to the Lieutenant's AT-ST just ahead of them.
Arkhan whoops and hollers, “Great job, Bazine. You set him right up to get knocked down!”
Arkhan takes a deep centering breath, aiming carefully towards where the walker WILL be not where it is, he almost could swear he heard the sound of epic French horns on the wind before pulling the triggers on the turret and blasting a massive hole into the side of the walker (1 success 2 advantage activating link for 12 TOTAL damage).

Arkhan watches Jin’s bike swoop past, blasting into the walker’s leg. The grizzled old bothan aims for the weak spot she created and fires another volley of heavy blaster fire, the swelling music seems to fill the air. (2 success 1 threat for 7 damage). Arkhan let’s out an excite yell as the walker’s leg disconnects from the chassis as the walker collapses in a shower of fire and sparks. “We did it!!!”

Jin guns the engine of the bike, which shoots after the AT, zipping across the surface of the planet as she clips the cabin with a shot.
