	==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 designed as a fast reaction [[BattleMech]] for hunting down [[Periphery]] raiders that had managed to penetrate the front lines.
