Golden Sun
The Terran Knowledge Bank
The Golden Sun was a Terran Confederation military medal. It was awarded for surviving the destruction of one's ship. The medal was only ever awarded once to a pilot in his career.
The awardee was typically warned, prior to receiving the medal, that the award was a one-time event and that subsequent ejections without reason would be punished.

- Peter Halcyon
- Come in I need to speak with you.
- Christopher Blair
- Yes, sir?
- Peter Halcyon
- You are about to recieve a Golden Sun for ejecting and surviving
- But you only get one of those per career.
- After that ejecting is just a waste of Confederation starfighters.
- Christopher Blair
- I won't forget it sir!
The medal ceremony itself followed the same format as many of the other ceremonies typically performed to celebrate a pilot's acchievements.
