Well they usually waited a LITTLE while.

Actually the army had to finish up the conquest of the world while the Marines waited to do more landings. The town was composed of those fleet followers attached to the Black Watch Marine division. Declaring of independence was not a viable strategy for most during the Terran Confederation and the Second Imperium, and certainly not for those on the main advance base with the Terrans right next to them and the Vilani all about.
