These prestigious awards are granted by the High Council to the most worthy of the VEN.

Medal of Honor [MoH],

The Medal of Honor is awarded to a person who distinguishes himself or herself conspicuously by gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his or her life above and beyond the call of duty. Incontestable proof of the performance of the service will be exacted and each recommendation for the award of this decoration will be considered on the standard of extraordinary merit. The Head of High Council may only bestow this medal/award.

Star of the Empire [SotE],

Meritorious Service Medal [MSM], The Meritorious Service Medal is awarded to those members of the Empire who have distinguished themselves by meritorious service or achievement while assigned to a joint activity. A member of the High Council may only bestow this medal/award.

Valorous Unit Award [VUA],

The Valorous Unit Award is to be awarded to units of the Empire for extraordinary heroism in action against an armed enemy.

Imperial Expeditionary Medal [IEM],

The Imperial Expeditionary Medal may be awarded to members of the Empire who have participated in a campaign in which hostile action by foreign armed forces was imminent even though it does not materialize. A member of the High Council may only bestow this medal/award.

Good Conduct Award [GCA],

This is awarded for exemplary behaviour, efficiency, and fidelity in active Imperial service. It is awarded on a selective basis to each soldier who distinguishes himself from among his/her fellow soldiers by their exemplary conduct, efficiency, and fidelity throughout a specified period of continuous enlisted active military service. A member of the High Council may only bestow this medal/award.
