Carter Flats was known mostly for being the headquarters of the Imperial Security Directorate. It was very heavily defended, but it was an internal military coup that brought the whole Martian occupation crumbling down. The Imperial High Command selected this to be an insertion point for purely symbolic purposes; there were more strategic targets to secure, but crushing the Rebellion here would begin to erase the shame caused by the Rebel coup in the first place.
The Imperial Knights were out of their dropships just moments after reaching the high-gee insertion point. The rebels were waiting for them.
It was then that the Imperial Knights found out something that the Imperial High Command neglected to mention.

The Rebels were cloaked.
Their cloaks aren't fool-proof however; you could track cloaked vehicles for instance by looking at the dust stirred up by their passage. But in the heat of battle where you are firing all over the place, looking for dust is not the highest priority. The ambush lasted for 30 minutes before the Rebels withdrew, but they did manage to disorient the Imperial Knights enough to delay their advances to more strategic territories. The Imperial Knights' morale was also crushed...if the Rebels could have access to such advanced technologies, what else do they have? At least nobody was lost though in the fighting though; that would have been a great embarrassment to the Empire.
The anonymous Overseer ordered the Imperial Knights to recuperate at Carter Flats before moving onto their next target and crushing the Rebels.
Which is a good thing, as the Cybrid glitch still lives.
It is now Day 2. Day 2 will end 3 days from now, on Wednesday. Days will last 3 days, while Nights will last 1 day.
