| Royal Army Medal Of Glory |
|
 The Royal Army Medal of Glory is the highest honor anyone can achieve in the Minnesota Tribe. The Royal Division's Commanding General himself bestows the medal, which is for those who have aided the Division in making significant gains. Recipients of the medal become landed knights in the Terran Hegemony, as this award comes with a patent of military nobility, offering land to the recipient's family.
Although usually reserved for Staff-level officers (Major or Colonel and Sergeants Major upwards) as a reward for their strategic leadership, it may be awarded to any commissioned or noncommissioned rank under special circumstances:
- For Officers and NCOs, after receiving 3 Royal Army Gold Stars for leadership
- For NCOs only, after continually performing above and beyond expected limits
- For all ranks, after receiving 4 Royal Army Silver Stars for most confirmed kills per campaign
- For all ranks, after being eligible for the Battle Cluster three times for most confirmed kills per Quarter
The medal hangs from the recipient's neck on a ribbon coloured in complement to the Division's crest. In the center of the medal is the unit's insignia, surrounding the crest are six points tipped with a precious metal, and finally a wreath surrounding the award in a precious metal. For example, the 331st MOG is a red-and-black ribbon, a gold Division crest, red enameled points tipped and trimmed in gold, and a gold wreath; in comparison, the Royal Black Watch Regiment includes a green-blue-and-black ribbon in Black Watch tartan, with brightly polished silver unit insignia and royal blue enamelled points tipped and trimmed in silver.
This award may be given more than once, as shown on the clasp of the award, with each award gaining the recipient more prestige and contributions for their service:
