Not a very good article yet, but a start. Although I played it, I remembered virtually nothing of the story from CHR so I reckon the article needs some serious work by somebody with a better memory. I am fairly sure that the Crescent Hawks became part of the Kell Hounds but I may be wrong. Similarly, I seem to recall Jason Youngblood being mentioned in one novel somewhere, in connection with the Kell Hounds even. May have been the wedding ceremony on Terra, or the Dragoon meeting on Outreach when they announced their Clan origin. Don't have the books anymore. Frabby 15:10, 5 December 2007 (CST)

At the time I added this, there was a mention that there is a rare chance to get the Spider and the Javelin on the game "Crescent Hawks Inception". I've seen the content of the exe file of the game and it doesn't include those two 'mechs. I'm not sure if there were any other versions of the game, but you can't see or get any other 'mech besides the Locust, Wasp, Stinger, Commando, Urbie, Jenner, and Chameleon.

Thanks for the heads-up. I have updated the article accordingly. Frabby 13:46, 9 October 2008 (CDT)

Well, found people on the CBT forum [1] claiming they saw/had a Javelin or Spider in the C64 version of the game so I am including this again. Frabby 17:16, 14 October 2008 (CDT)

I can confirm that both the Javelin and the Spider were available for the C64 version of the "Crescent Hawks Inception" game since i owned the game and had played it often. They were rare machines in the game however, you could end up playing hours till you found a chance encounter with one . Also, i would also the note, that Crescent Hawks were reactivated in the Jihad by the Kell Hounds. Jason's son is now in command. I don't know enough about the reformed unit to comment on its compents other than their using a 7K Phoenix Hawk that was originally Jason's and a Awesome in the command lance. -- Wrangler 18:09, 5 May 2009 (PDT)

Yes, this article is a bit outdated now as new information has popped up. There is at least one BattleCorps story about the Crescent Hawks operating in the Jihad timeline under Jason's son (named Jeremiah after his grandfather). I also recall that I saw an article somewhere on WizKids homepage but haven't been able to find it again (I hate this chaotic page - lots of good stuff but no chance to actually find it...). It mentioned something about the Crescent Hawks being under the command of Akira Brahe (or his son), and deployed aboard three Leopards. Frabby 23:32, 5 May 2009 (PDT)
