The Medal of Valor, later known as the Imperial Medal of Valor, was a prestigious military award in the Galactic Republic and later the Imperial Military. It was an award of some significance, although presumably secondary to the Distinguished Medal of Imperial Honor. It was presented to Imperial soldiers for conspicuous bravery on the field of battle.
Known recipients include GeneralGarza, who received it for her actions during the Great Galactic War, Kyle Katarn and Rom Mohc, who received the medal three times, Nick Rostu and Liane Trevval in pre-Imperial times. The award was a live-fire award and possibly required wounding for its achievement.
