Rebel Alliance Awards, Decorations and Medals ?

[lurker]

I have had a long frustrating day at work (spinning my wheels so to speak trying to get things done but stopped in my tracks because another section is WAY behind on their work).

With that, I decided to use my wasted time to do something fun and started thinking through my current character and some of the side bar/out of group things he is doing in SWR's Monday night game. One thing is trying to get his Rebel CO to award the party members awards for their last 2 missions. With that, I started looking to see shat awards/decorations/medals exist for the rebellion.

Here is what I found on wookiepedia. Some of them have good explanations, others were nothing but the award's name. I've tried to put them in (reverse) order of importance, but some of it is just a blind guess …

Do you all have any other military awards you give to your players &/or better explanations on the below awards?

General Awards
Various Battle patches, Tabs, & Tour Ribbons and skills badge

Field Achievement Award - Success in first actual field mission

Superior Service Medal/ Meritorious Service - for continuing excellence in the line of duty

Redbird - personnel who were injured in the line of duty (I would add a 'V' for valatorous to identify those in direct contact when injured)

Burdine Cluster - a member who displayed heroism in battle

Crescent of Valor - decoration awarded for brave and valorous conduct under fire

Trand Medallion

I thought I read somewhere that the Kenobi Medallion was awarded to the pilots killed during the First Death Star Assault. When we played pre episode IV adventures I would threaten some players with this award if they didn't get the sh!t together and stop messing up the gaming session.

Have I got something for you. About a year ago I made a sourcebook about all the medals I could find for the rebel, empire, republic and more. Plus how to incorporate them into your rpg.
