Lyran Medal of Honor

The Medal of Honor, often referred to as the Lyran Imperial Medal of Honor because the King-Emperor of the Lyran Star Empire presents the award "in the name of the Lyran Senate", is the highest military decoration awarded by the United Federation of Planets. It is bestowed on a member of the Lyran military who distinguishes himself or herself "... conspicuously by gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while engaged in an action against an enemy of the Lyran Star Empire ...".

Members of all branches of the Lyran Starfleet are eligible to receive the medal. The Medal of Honor is often presented personally to the recipient or, in the case of posthumous awards, to survivors, by the King-Emperor of the Lyran Star Empire.

Brianna Reiss was one of possible recipients for her actions during the assault on Starbase 148, but, for reasons unknown, her application took several years to be processed.
