==Description== ==Description==
− The '''''Night Hawk''''' was designed as a fast reaction [[BattleMech]] for hunting down [[Periphery]] raiders that had managed to penetrate the front lines. [[Mountain Wolf BattleMechs]] submitted their proposal for the ''Night Hawk'', their first BattleMech, to the [[Star League Defense Force]] in [[Introduction Year::2655]], and after many months of trials, the 'Mech was put into full production in [[2656]]. Production continued for almost 300 years until [[Production Ceased::2945]], when the factory producing the ''Night Hawk'' was destroyed and did not see production again until [[Reintroduction Year::3055]].<ref name=TRO:3058U/><ref name=TRO:3058>''Technical Readout: 3058 Upgrade'', p. 100: "Night Hawk"</ref> + The '''''Night Hawk''''' was built for use by the [[Star League Defense Force]] for hunting down [[Periphery]] units that had managed to penetrate the front lines. The 'Mech was built by Mountain Wolf BattleMechs beginning in [[2565]] and production continued for almost four hundred years until [[2945]], when the factory producing the ''Night Hawk'' was destroyed and did not see production again until [[3055]]. The ''Night Hawk'' is an impressive light 'Mech on the modern battlefield with a top speed of 97.2 km/h that is provided by a GM 210 [[XL engine]]. For protection from enemy fire, the ''Night Hawk'' has seven tons of ProtecTech Light armor which can defend it from fire from most other light 'Mechs. Finally, to dissipate the vast amount of heat from its all energy weapons arsenal, the ''Night Hawk'' uses twelve [[double heat sink]]s.
