Drabatan racial ability, allows you to spend 2 advantage to either increase range or add a target for any leadership or coercion based ability.
As for this, I hesitated to rule in favor because of how it could get too gimmicky. However, I will choose to allow it with the caveat that I am trusting you not to abuse it. So, this use is valid!

If you want, we can any talents that benefit from this targets (which is already implied in the long text for Inspiring rhetoric and Scathing tirade) and thus requires you to target hardest first. which would allow npcs to benefit from nobody's fool and intimidating

Which then leads to the question, do any of the npcs you have in this combat have ranks in either of those talents?

None! Your roll can bell dictate how sensible this can be. As I am curious how effective it will allow you to be. My preference/guideline is that if you're more capable of eliminating Stormtroopers than a plasma grenade in this way, with greater range, there may be a problem.

For the Von An event can relevant equipment apply to the appropriate rolls? (such as a toolkit which usually provides a boost to mechanics rolls applying a boost to the mechanics roll in the sensor room). Or is it purely skills/atts?
You may apply tool related bonuses.
What about equipment that requires wet up time, such as the Field Kitchen (30 min)? I assume there isn't time for that.

Also, if we are assisting others, can we use talents (and make associated rolls) to give them additional Boosts?

Too little time for setup unfortunately! Gotta get in there, find what you can, and get out before the Empire comes knocking!

If you are assisting others, going as one team, yes!

Maybe I should specify doing the old jawa route of combing through an area and finding the bits and pieces to make the good stuff

Ahh, you want to find some salvage. Gotcha.

That location is still the best option to find those sort of details. You can also try your luck with some villagers and maybe someone will know something, but the shady place will have the bigger payout.

Got ya, can I still do a more polite asking around for a location thing? I really suck at shady stuff.

Absolutely. We can skip the normal interaction and let you hit the ground running for the next game day, since this one is wrapping up soon. Make me a average streetwise, charm, or coercion (if you don't wanna ask nicely) with a boost for the first two since you're not known for being a jerk to the citizenry in your PF.

The roll can be assisted, if you wish, just mention who's helping in the roll.

Do we get the benefits of the command center when we're not in the base, i.e. out in the field do we get the free boost to leadership and vigilance checks?

I'm slightly confused (in large part due to rl keeping my away from the game a lot!). Is D7 the first day of a new Session already?

And if so, do we get any XP or credits with Session change? I'm guessing per Session abilities reset (although I think I never got to use mine! Or... not yet ;) )

Thanks!

Command center is only in base.
