Medal of Honor

The Medal of Honor is the highest medal a member of the Emperor's Hammer may be awarded. The recipients of the Medal of Honor have performed consistent service above and beyond the call of duty and have personally and significantly improved the entire Fleet through their direct actions. Examples of such service would include sacrifice of one's pilot in the line of duty while saving others or personally introducing an aspect to the Fleet which proves to be instrumental in its growth. This medal can only be awarded by the Fleet Commander.

Imperial Cross

The Imperial Cross is awarded to members who have shown exceptional loyalty and dedication to the Fleet. These officers will have shown consistent, exceptional and innovative service in their assigned function. This medal can be awarded by the Fleet Commander or the Executive Officer.

Order of the Renegade

The Order of the Renegade is given for exceptional dedication, service and loyalty to the Fleet far surpassing all other members and is regarded to be an independent recognition of a member's actions. This is awarded in the memory of COL Renegade for his incredible work in the service to the Emperor's Hammer. Members who are already Fleet Admirals (or of equivalent rank) and who have achieved almost all merit awards are awarded the coveted Order of the Renegade, which may only be bestowed by the Fleet Commander or Executive Officer.

Grand Order of the Emperor

Any member of the Emperor's Hammer may be awarded the Grand Order of the Emperor for Service Above and Beyond the Call of Duty and Valor Extraordinaire. Award of this medal constitutes entrance into a fraternal order as well. Recipients of the Grand Order of the Emperor are highly respected in all manners of Imperial functions. This medal can only be awarded by the Fleet Commander, the Executive Officer, and a Group Commander.

Gold Star of the Empire

The Gold Star of the Empire can be awarded by any member of Emperor's Hammer Command Staff or TIE Corps Admiralty Board for extraordinary service and exceptional loyalty. Excelling command officers will most often be the recipients of this medal, but not necessarily. Greater than the Silver Star, it cannot be awarded for general activity.

Silver Star of the Empire

The Silver Star of the Empire can be awarded by any member of Emperor's Hammer Command Staff, TIE Corps Admiralty Board or Ship Commodore for exceptional service and loyalty. This could include expansion of an officer's area of expertise by introducing new aspects/ideas to his position. Exceptional command officers will most often be the recipients of this medal.

The Bronze Star of the Empire can be awarded by any Wing Commander to a member for extraordinary service to a particular wing. This will typically be an award for a member for aiding these officers in their duties.

Palpatine Crescent

The Palpatine Crescent can be awarded by Wing Commanders and Squadron Commanders to Flight Members and above for exceptional service to the wing or squadron. This could include help with overall management of a squadron or wing or a member who is consistently contributing new ideas for the unit.

Imperial Security Medal

The Imperial Security Medal is typically awarded by Squadron Commanders to Flight Members or Flight Leaders within their squadrons who have shown exceptional service and dedication to the squadron.

Medal of Instruction

The Medal of Instruction is awarded to any pilot who personally recruits a new member to the TIE Corps (the recruit's training must be completed, as determined by the Dean of IWATS). The Medal of Instruction may be upgraded with a Blue, Gold, Platinum, Emerald or Diamond Cross.
