Crescent Hawks

          The Crescents Hawks were Archon Katrina Steiner's elite lance back in 3028, when the Archon gave the command of the Crescent Hawks to Jason Youngblood, son of LAM Pilot Jeremiah Youngblood of the Kell Hounds. He was to use them to rescue his father, taken captive by the Draconis Combine when they assaulted Pacifica. The Crescent Hawks started as a single Lance, but with the exploits of Jason Youngblood, they grew and became known throughout the Inner Sphere. Jason's promising career started when he helped the Kell Hounds defend Lyons against a Kurita attack, and then rescued his father in a quick raid on Dieron. When the war of 3039 erupted, Prince Hanse Davion included the Crescent Hawks in many attempts to reclaim planets House Kurita invaded years before. When the Clans attacked, the Crescent Hawks were called to Arc Royal to receive training in newly produced mechs and weapon technology, and were sent to Luthien to aid in the defense of the Draconis Combine's capital, where they playeda pivotal role in turning back the Clan attack. After Luthien, they were deactivated as a combat unit and assigned to Training Command on Pacifica to train new generations of MechWarriors in combat tactics.
