Golden Sun

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.
