Ally Awards and Metals

Coral Saber (Medal of Valor) is a very significant award among the Touman of Clan Diamond Shark. It may be awarded by any drop leader with a rank of Star Captain or higher. This medal is given to the pilot who by his individual efforts proves to be essential towards the success of a drop that would have otherwise been unattainable. This may include having a high kill ratio but does not require it, as it is well known that sometimes the smartest of pilots does not always end up with the most kills.Sent: Fri 2/16/3069(2007) 4:38 PM

Attention Warriors,
I would like to make a presentation that is not very common within the Diamond Sharks. A presentation to an allied pilot.

Last night facing the Lyrans on the frozen canyons of Beartrap, an allied pilot distinguished himself to the highest. When the initial forces of our Diamond Sharks and the Lyran Alliance engaged themselves in heavy fog, the outcome was unfavorable to say the least. When the snow cleared MT's KB DeVega, driving a missile ShadowCat, was the lone warrior left to face two enemy mechs. The surviving Lyrans, a KitFox and a fresh Nemesis stalked KB relentlessly. Facing over twice his tonnage in opposition, KB played a smart defense by going offensive. Taking down the KitFox quickly he then had to position himself at optimum range from the remaining Nemesis to be effective. Weary of the Nemesis weaponry, KB took sniping shots slowly winnowing its armor. But time was running out and something had to be done or the mission would be lost. Our ShadowCat then stalked the Nemesis on high and delivered an astounding DFA knocking the enemy to the ground. Slowly regaining his footing, the enemy endured withering fire from KB's missiles. Just as the Nemesis was about to unleash upon the ShadowCat, KB's missiles struck home and violently destroyed the enemy.

Through his individual efforts, ensuring the victory of not only a single drop but that of the entire GRaid, I present to KB DeVega the Clan Diamond Shark Coral Sabre Award.
