Roman was a relentless fighter, often headstrong and unaware of the consequences of utilizing pure brute power instead of mixing it with some brains. Calculative measures was something the powerful Sith champion often disregarded and too often it had led to him barely escaping disastrous situations. This would seem to be one of them. His mind settling into the zone of killing bugs, he watched as plasma weapon seared through flesh and chitin armor, causing a splash of acidic blood to wash against his armored body but he persisted nonetheless.
His saber was carefully maneuvered like a well planned paintbrush, each stroke nothing but a fatal hit as the Sith attempted to carve his way through enemies. A voice in the back shouted out to him, "Champion Antilles! The Repeater is online!" The lead engineer screamed, his team had finished setting up the heavy artillery cannon and Roman hoped it would add the much needed emphasis in turning this battle. Attention splitting to his side, Roman lept forwards and towards the cannon. His saber extinguished as both armored hands wrapped around the handle of the massive turret, right thumb pressed down indefinitely onto the trigger button.
The artillery barrel began to rotate, first slowly but then rapidly picked up pace as heavy blaster bolts began to sear outwards, attempting to mow down any enemies caught in its warpath. Feeling the natural radiating resistance of the weapon, Roman had to use his physical strength to bear down and control the recoil, slowly sweeping the cannon back and forth horizontal so that he could cover the masses of killiks nearing his position. He focused however, on targeting the Queen herself, attempting to overwhelm the powerful creature with the relentless and endless supply of heavy blaster fire.
Roman however, was completely unaware of the assassins approaching him from behind. If the Jedi were to choose a different path than save him, the Sith was likely going to be a casualty. @Forsythe Crowholde @SlagathorTheUnknown

Roman continues to attack the Killiks with his lightsaber until the Heavy Repeater is online. He then mounts the artillery weapon and begins firing it, focusing the blaster fire on killiks as well as the Queen. He is completely unaware and vulnerable to the assassin Killiks approaching him if the Jedi choose not to intervene.
