Winter is roughly two months out. The time limit has been set.But the Empire's military leaders are fiercely divided on what to do.

In the end, they decided that while they gather supplies for a theoretical offensive, they would conduct an investigation to collect intelligence. Naturally, Tanya's Salamander Unit was the first candidate for the mission.
