Presentation[]

The award was presented in a small ceremony, consisting of eight Imperial officers, seven watching the ceremony from overhead, and one directly giving the nominated TIE pilot the award.
Design[]
The ribbon was primarily blue, although there was a red diamond pattern and then after another area of blue a yellow diamond pattern, with the Imperial Crest being prominently displayed in blue. The medal itself was gold and shield shaped with a banner on top, although there were white triangles on each side of the medal that gave the appearance of fangs. At the center of the shield portion of the medal was a mural depicting a sun rising above a dark planet.
