Military Medals

In order to publicly show support to those that fight on behalf of the Empire or provide aid on the front-lines of war, the Regalian Military issues out several types of Military Medals. Highlighting the achievements of individuals on campaign, Military Medals are typically worn on a military uniform, or displayed in some sort of frame when received. Medals are usually handed out by the Imperial Court Marshal during an awards ceremony following the conclusion of a war. In some rare circumstances, the Emperor Himself hands out a few awards, though usually only those with immense Prestige attached to them.

There are several "Ranks" which are eligible for Military Medals. Generals/Admirals are for those members of the Imperial Marshal Cabinet who received commissions to engage in warfare during a campaign. Tacticians are those who may be Generals/Admirals, but also secondary advisors to the lead commanders. Soldiers are those that make up the fighting force of the Regalian Military, from the Field Commanders/Captains of Comission to the Front line Soldiers and Sailors. Medics are front-line healers and nurses that tend to the soldiers' injuries sustained during combat.

Each Medal has a certain level of Prestige associated to it, which is designated by the amount of stars attached to it. One-star Medals for example are usually more common than two-star Medals, and are granted to individuals who perform their roles competently. More stars indicate greater rarity, and higher difficulty in obtaining. There is only one five-star Medal in the Regalian Military: the Holy Heart. Very few individuals have been awarded this Medal since its creation, and to be a recipient carries immense respect in military circles and the public at large.

A list of all obtainable military medals are as follows. As a note, players cannot claim to posses any Military Medals via backstory, and may only obtain them via an awards ceremony presentation by the Imperial Court Marshal or the Emperor.
