Eagle Star

The Eagle Star is a Pantocratorian military award given to officers who lead their troops to truly astonishing victories in the most glorious of campaigns. It was initially created by the Emperor Manuel V Capet in 1714 to reward Admiral de Marly for his victory over the Knootian navy in the Second War of Insolence. It has only been awarded two times since. The Eagle Star consists of a large solid silver badge approximately three inches in diameter in the shape of a six-pointed star, with a double-headed imperial eagle with its wings outstretched mounted on its face, clutching a sword in its claws. The word "GLOIRE" (French for "Glory") is the only text on the star, appearing on mantling underneath the eagle's claws.
