Nighthawk Militia

For those looking for examples of my history/description work, continue reading...

On that fateful night, as you sat at the terminal aboard your ship, scouring holonet feeds for the organization whose name you’d only heard in hushed conversation amongst some of the meanest-looking outlaws you’ve ever met, you never could have known its awesome power. In fact, you never would have guessed that it existed at all, had not this very holopage turned up. No doubt a small smile twisted your lips as the letters finally lit up your face: “Nighthawk Militia”.

Unbeknownst to you at the time, those were the very letters of destiny. Your trial, however, is not over; although you recognize the risks involved in dealing with just such an organization, you also recognize the enormous rewards that their prestige, discipline, courage, and prowess could bring to you.

The payout could be astonishing. This organization could make you…or it could break you.

Even though the Nighthawk Militia started off as the security division for the Smuggler’s Alliance, they soon realized that their abilities were far beyond that required to merely protect a smuggling outfit; the Nighthawks could easily bring order to a significant portion of the galaxy.

Not only that, but they could make a ton of money doing it.

And because of the mere fact that the Nighthawks willed it, it was so. In the blink of an eye, these relative newcomers were being approached by galactic power-players, for enormously important missions upon which hinged the lives and livelihoods of untold billions.

The Nighthawks won’t hesitate to share the secret of their success with anyone who asks, because they realize that it’s something so blatantly obvious as to be deceptive. In fact, the Nighthawks achieved fame and recognition by finding the most experienced and talented group of soldiers they could, and then organizing them using the simplest and most efficient business model available to them.

Unlike most security firms in the galaxy, the Nighthawks have a strict code of ethics to which they adhere, the sole mandate of which is that innocents and allies are to be protected at all costs. With a goal this simple, the Nighthawks were almost guaranteed success from their inception.
