Chapter History[]
Notable Campaigns[]
- Angarius Incursion (Unknown Date.M41) - The Night Hawks were part of a joint Imperial strike force that helped to put down a rebellion against the Emperor on the Agri-World of Angarius. The Night Hawks' Strike Cruiser Ebony Talon accompanied this task force. Two regiments of the Imperial Guard's Pyran Dragoons were assigned to subdue the locals and detain several key officials. With an increasingly hostile population to deal with, the Imperials soon became embroiled in a bitter war with the people of Angarius. In one notable incident, several platoons of the Pyran Dragoons' 18th Battalion attempted to capture one of the local leaders but soon found their position encircled by the Angarian rebels, effectively cutting them off from friendly forces. As the Imperials attempted to mount a rescue mission, the Night Hawks flew continuous sorties throughout the night with their Land Speeder Typhoons, pounding the enemy positions mercilessly with deadly salvos of Typhoon missiles. With the assistance of the Night Hawks, the rebels were driven back from the Dragoons' position. The Night Hawks kept up their relentless barrage, which forced the rebels to withdraw their forces in the face of such a furious assault.
