It is not known when '''Mitchell's Nighthawks''' were formed, but on [[3095]], after the [[Jihad]], the unit was contracted by the planet [[Westover]] to track and destroy the pirate band [[Hades Brotherhood]] that had been raiding Westover every six to seven months.

The mercenaries' fight was spirited and ended with the destruction of the attacker's forces: the pirate ''[[Overlord (DropShip class)|Overlord]]''-class [[DropShip]] ''[[Brotherhood Two]]'' and half the enemy fighters (one of them piloted by a wanted [[Word of Blake]] war criminal piloting an HMR-HD ''[[Hammerhead (Aerospace Fighter class)|Hammerhead]]'' aerospace fighter in particular, the former [[Precentor]] [[Yousoke Sendai]]). The other three enemy pirate fighters surrendered after that.

Westover's government accepted the pirate's dropship destruction as a fulfillment of their contract. For their actions, the unit was awarded the three surrendered fighters and also gave them picking on the rest of the salvage. This would allow Mitchell's Nighthawks to cover their losses, at least partially.<ref name="BSBH">''BattleCorps Scenarios: Bat out of Hell''</ref>
