History
The Night Raid (Japanese: ナイトレイド, Hepburn: Naito Reidō) was an elite covert operations unit that was part of the Revolutionary Army and tasked with conducting missions from within the capital of the Empire.
Following the return of General Esdeath, she became charged with eliminating Night Raid. Initially, she attempted to frame them for the murder of the ministers enemies. Her lieutenants were, however, killed during an engagement with Night Raid assassins. As a result, she decided to create a new unit of skilled operatives to kill Night Raid with this group being named the Jaegers.
The division outside the capital was completely destroyed by the Three Beasts where its only survivor being Chelsea who was soon transferred to Night Raid's capital group.
Night Raid proved to be instrumental in the downfall of the Empire, leading to the defeat/deaths of many high profile Empire officials including Budo, Esdeath, the Emperor, and Honest. Of the eight notable members of Night Raid throughout the events of the war, only four had survived: Najenda, Akame, Tatsumi and Mine
After the fall of the Empire, the Night Raid organization was dissolved due to the immoral actions they had committed. The revolutionary army came to take over and transitioned the empire into autonomous federalized republic with Najenda now its new leader. All trace of Night Raid including all the heroic deeds of its members faded into history with the public never knowing of its existence.
- In the anime, the group succeeded in their mission with only Najenda and Akame being the only survivors.
