Chapter 37 - What is the Karagite Order of Heroism? (Patreon)

“That’s not all,” she said, before gesturing to a nearby security officer who handed her a lacquered wooden box that practically shined in the light. “For your heroic defense of this world, as President of Kessik IV, I award you the Karagite Order of Heroism. It is awarded to individuals who show conspicuous heroism in the defense of Federation worlds and its people during times of conflict. I cannot think of a more worthy recipient than you. Congratulations Admiral.”

She then handed me the open box containing the medal. The medal appeared as a stylized humanoid female with outstretched arms which were grasping an upraised sword that was attached to scarlet and white horizontal stripes. The medal was actually made even more interesting by what it was made of, a form of dilithium that looked like optical crystal, with a bluish pink hue. Kessik IV was rich in dilithium, so it felt rather fitting and looked quite eye catching, in my opinion.
