The Nighthawk Imperium

The Nighthawk Imperium (commonly referred to as TNI) is a military group on Roblox founded by . 
== History ==
The exact date of the origin of the Nighthawk Imperium has been forgotten. According to the information of its group page on Rolimon's, the group was created in 2014. For several years, the Nighthawk Imperium had been very active and participated in many wars against some other war groups. 
However, over the last few years, the Nighthawk Imperium became less active than before. Its main game became much less popular. Since the war group community on Roblox is declining, the Nighthawk Imperium is facing a big challenge. 
On early September 2023, on the comment wall, some members started talking about the decline of the main game. Some of them said that this game would become a 'dead game' after a period of time. 
On 8th June 2024, Viceroy Cryptonox gave a group shout, announcing that they were working on new game projects for the group. On the comment wall, some members mourned that the current main game was becoming not that popular. 
==Ranking==
In order to be promoted, members have to earn points, called "Honor". Honor can be earned through official events hosted within the group; the more active a member is, the more Honor they will receive. There are requirements and caps for how much Honor is earnable at each type of event. This ranking feature is renowned from Clan Labs owned by TechSpectrum.

==Officer Progression==
Second-Lieutenant
The Second-Lieutenant rank is an optional stepping stone and helps people with the transition from sergeant first class or higher to a rank with more power (in this case: Second-Lieutenant), here are the tips given by the Progression Admiral Aussrioth.
# Should you decide you wish to proceed to an Officer rank a much easier and quicker way, you may apply for the rank of Second-Lieutenant. This rank is focused on Border Patrols.
# Submit a Second-Lieutenant Aptitude Test, this quiz is very short and tests you on the basis of being an officer. To review for this exam, you should read the following documents: Officer Manifesto, Officer Code of Conduct, Border Patrol Hosting Guide, and other Officer related documents.
# After you submit your aptitude test, you will then be voted on by Progression. The Committee will review your aptitude test and presence in the community. If you will then be promoted to Second-Lieutenant. (Note: You still can be denied by the progression admiral if they do not see you fit even after the test is accepted.)
First-Lieutenant
To progress from sergeant first class, players need to co-host two events and host two events, besides that they need to be inside a focus. Once that event verification has been accepted, they are to attend an evaluation. These are hosted by the progression department and are expected to pass the evaluation with a score above 80% (every mistake/failure is a 4% deduction.) If the player passes the evaluation, they must submit an application based around the duties and scenarios an officer in the Imperium would face (although First-Lieutenants are not Officers, they still hold a lot of Officer powers.)
Captain
To progress from First-Lieutenant to Captain, the applicant needs to be in a focus department and they must submit their captain application. The application will then be submitted to a vote for Officers (Captain+), and if it passes it will then be submitted to a vote for HiCOM (Admiral+). Once the application is passed, the player will officially become an Officer in the Imperium.
