Nitro Team

Nitro Team was a squad of Midnight Pilots assigned to investigate the Midnight firebase on Equestria's moon after it went down. They were a five-man team consisting of Captain Lawrence Gatling, Sergeant Eliot Asker, Sergeant Johnny Besler, Lieutenant Harry Mariner and MAD-19714, an advanced MAD MK3. The team were linked to Ion, Tone, Legion, and Frostbite Titans respectively, while MAD-19714 "Secone" had no linked Titan.

The team were launched from the Railgun Deployment Platform and made their way to Luna-Major via Dropship. Upon reaching the base, the team were shocked to find automated defenses offline but not destroyed. They entered the base to find it completely empty, later finding the entire staff of the complex restrained in the BioDome. Before the team could free them, the BioDome was decompressed by remote detonations, killing all of the staff inside. Nitro Team was then ambushed by unknown assailants, forcing them to fight their way to the rendezvous point. In the battle, Secone was critically damaged by a hostile Titan. The team were forced to decompress the moonbase entirely in order to get out, but the sudden vacuum sucked the entire team out onto the lunar surface.

Stunned and downed, the team were leaking oxygen as their Titans were destroyed by orbital fire from unknown ships. The team was captured by enemy forces, now identified as the Solar Accord, and slowly killed via suffocation as their suits were damaged.

Nitro Team were recorded as heroes of the Midnight, dying for the cause. All five members and the four Titans were memorialised in the Monument of Valour in Everfree City.
