## TL;DR

This paper discusses the importance of increasing observational cadence in the Galactic plane to better understand the variability of dense Galactic sources, which is currently under-observed compared to other regions.

## Contribution

It highlights the need for a higher cadence subsurvey in the Galactic plane to improve variability studies of dense Galactic sources.

## Key findings

- Current observations of the Galactic plane are limited in cadence.
- Higher cadence observations will enhance variability characterization.
- Improved data will benefit static and dynamic Galactic science.

## Abstract

Presently, the Galactic plane receives relatively few observations compared to most of the LSST footprint. While this may address static science, the plane will also represent the highest density of variable Galactic sources. The proper characterization of variability of these sources will benefit greatly from observations at a higher cadence.
