In Character Awards

Starfleet Medal of Honor
Award Level: Top Honor
Non-Combat/Combat: Both
Other Restrictions: None

Presented by the President of the Federation in its name, it is the highest honor that can be bestowed upon a Federation citizen or member of Starfleet. Those who wear it do not refer to themselves as winners but as recipients, for what they received it was not a contest but a time of terror and death when their valor was tested beyond the call.

The Medal of Honor is award to one who distinguishes himself or herself conspicuously by gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his or her life above and beyond the call of duty; while engaged in military operations involving conflict with an opposing force; or while serving with friendly forces engaged in an armed conflict against an opposing armed force in which the United Federation of Planets and Starfleet is not a belligerent party.

The deed performed must have been one of personal bravery or self-sacrifice so conspicuous as to clearly distinguish the individual above his/her comrades and must have involved the risk of life. Incontestable proof of the performance of the service will be exacted and each recommendation for the award of this decoration will be considered on the standard of extraordinary merit.

The Starfleet Medal of Honor is the only decoration worn around the neck and is typically the only medal worn with the dress white uniform. When worn in ribbon form, the Medal of Honor goes above all other awards even if there is only one other below it. It sits on a row of its own.
