=== Strategy ===
It can be a good idea to take a ranged cadet (King, Cater, Trey, or Ace), as when asked to defend the Dominion soldiers, the player can end up standing behind a fence with enemies at the other side. Another good strategy is to equip a melee cadet with a ranged ability in case the above scenario occurs. There is no way to speed through the mission but the player can give themselves more time to look around for items if they use a fast-moving cadet (Cater with accelerate).

;Tem. XVII – The Last Line of Defense
Now that the imperial army had broken through the dominion's front lines, the site of the Verboten Eidolon summoning was in grave peril. In hopes of halting the empire from advancing any further, Central Command deployed reinforcements to the dominion's last line of defense.
Unfortunately, these "reinforcements" were a haphazard hodgepodge of whatever forces remained: cadets on standby, surviving legionaries who had retreated from the front lines, and summoners left powerless by the empire's crystal jammer. Central Command dispatched this confused assemblage to defend the site and ensure the success of the grand summoning at all costs.
With no semblance of order, the piecemeal unit suffered immense losses at the hands of the empire not long after joining the fray. Nevertheless, thanks largely in part to the units sent to break through the empire's rear guard, the legions succeeded in halting the empire's advance and leading the dominion to victory.
