Imperial Medal of Honor
this Imperial award was given to those cadets and newly-commissioned officers who acted above and beyond the call of duty during their missions. Because every young, up-and-coming officer was being held to an exceptionally high standard, it was rare that the Medal of Honor was given out for simply earning a commission. The Medal itself was a large circle of metal that depicted the fighter craft of the pilot who won the award, and was suspended on a black ribbon piped with violet trim.
