United Federation of Planet's Medal of
Honor |
| The Medal of Honor is awarded by
the President in the name of United Federation of Planets Council to one who distinguishes
himself or herself conspicuously by gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life or
her life above and beyond the call of duty; while engaged in military operations involving
conflict with an opposing foreign force; or while serving with friendly foreign forces
engaged in an armed conflict against an opposing armed force in which the United
Federation of Planets is not a belligerent party. The deed performed must have been one of
personal bravery or self-sacrifice so conspicuous as to clearly distinguish the individual
above his comrades and must have involved risk of life. 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. |
