The Night Hawks are a Space Marine Chapter.
Background
The Night Hawks Chapter was involved in a campaign to subdue the agri-world of Angarius. After several attempted uprisings on Angarius raised concerns of sedition, two regiments of Pyran Dragoons were sent to subdue the local populace and detain several political governors. Accompanied by the Strike Cruiser Ebony Talon of the Night Hawks, the task force spent several months engaged in a bitter war against an increasingly hostile population. In an attempt to capture one of the local leaders, several platoons from the Dragoons' 18th battalion found themselves trapped, encircled by Angarian rebels and cut off from friendly forces. Whilst a rescue mission was mounted, Land Speeder Typhoons from the Night Hawks conducted non-stop sorties throughout the night, pounding the rebel positions with missile salvos and driving them back from the trapped Dragoons. Stopping only to rearm, the Night Hawks’ Typhoons kept up the relentless barrage until, in the face of the Chapter’s furious assaults, the rebels withdrew.[1]
