History
Time of bliss
Trevarus Caerick also known as Shan Long originally founded the Night Hawks as a Krath Phyle once he came to Clan Naga Sadow. Leading the Phyle was his first ever leadership task, and he exceled in it bringing the Night Hawks to a name that would be feared and whispered throughout the halls of Naga Sadow. With him there were also four members, Enerum Shka, Tavf Ran-Kai Alithial, Fova Wasi, and Stacia Jasbeec. The Night Hawks first ever mission was to raid a Jedi library on Antar IV, from which we recovered the Holocron of Antar IV (played against competition from the Cimerri Sect Phyle), they excelled and obliterated the oposition.
The next mission was to explore the ruined Krath war-base under the ice of Loki. Encountering the ancient Krath spirits that lived in the base, the Night Hawks were forced to flee as the whole edifice came crashing down on their heads.
After the mission on Loki, Shan Long became House Marka Ragnos Aedile and then Quaestor and later even Consul. Tavf Ran-Kai Alithial took over the Phyle as Tetrarch and soon after advanced through the ranks as his succesor, Daihok took over the Phyle.
The Night Hawks were active during the K'hamar'an Crisis. During a Phyle war the Night Hawks obliterated the Mystics of the Dark Arts of House Gladius, Clan Tarentum, under Tetarch Shae-Lynn Jade.
For three months after the Phyle war the Night Hawks were renamed to the Night Raptors. It was changed back to Night Hawks by Shan Long after he returned from the Dark Council.
Nightfall
- "I am disgusted with the activity generated from within this unit as it is non-existent."
- ―Mejas Doto, on Phyle activity
During Tetrarch Mejas Doto's first reign (March 2000) there were during his second reign the Phyle was largely inactive. From the reports generated at the time it is seen that there was no interest for activity within the BT. Except of a couple of competitions no major achievements have been done. Mejas Doto moved, soon after his last report, to Clan Arcona.
Korras' reign didn't bring much change in activity. From the few reports he gave out it can be seen that very little was accomplished in ways of motivating members.
Muz Keibatsu Sadow's (Muz Ashen at the time) leadership was marked by the 7th Great Jedi war, as was Arion Sunrider's and Tissaya Sadow's. Muz activated the long dormant Phyle and during the war, although not amongst the leaders, the BT was fully active and assisting their House and Clan.
Inner Battleteam Promotion System

It was created to give you a boost to be active, and have some fun along with it. As you may noticed, at the beginning of each report a little in character story is done. The higher your rank is the more important role you will get in that story, and you’ll skyrocket to fame because of it. In run-on’s we can use it as well, another way to call ourselves and show how far we have grown over time. Here is the rank tree so you can see what you can become.

Equipment
The Armor
A Night Hawks elite
The Night Hawks have their own armor design that they use on missions.
Its a basic stormtrooper design. It deflects low-powered bolts, stun bolts and protects against shrapnel.
The suite underneath is sealed tight on the wearers body and protects him against hazards. With a helmet on the wearer could survive in space for a total of 10 minutes with the extra air package on the back. This is why the helmet is standard issue for missions. The whole armor, including the under suite are resistant to fire.
The gloves house a grappling hook and launcher on the right arm, a slicer device and hold out dagger in the left.
The boots house two WESTAR-34 blaster pistol for emergencies.
4 canisters, for food, water, ammo and first aid, hang on the belt. The belt itself can carry 4 extra ammo batteries for pistols.
The food canister consists mostly of protein bars as they have all the nutrients needed for away-missions.
The ammo cannister holds 5 extra blaster rifle and/or pistol batteries.
The helmet is the main part of the whole armor. It is equipped with an internal communicator, an interchangeable view screen with 3 views; Infra Red, Thermal and Normal, additionally Normal view can be adjusted for more or less contrast; and an HUD screen is also installed inside the helmet. The HUD shows a complete tactical view of what the wearer sees. It can identify living beings from machinery and humanoid sentients from animals. During a battle the HUD points out all visible targets in the field of view.
