The Order of Distinguished Merit is an Imperial Order of Knighthood.
Description (Specifications)[edit]
The Order of Distinguished Merit is an Order of Knighthood typically granted to those who have significantly contributed in some fashion while serving in the Ambassadorial Service or Foreign Office, or who otherwise made significant contributions in the realm of Diplomacy. [1].
The subdivisions of the Order of Distinguished Merit are [2]:
- Knight/Dame Grand Cordon of Distinguished Merit (G.C.D.M.)
- Knight/Dame Companion of Distinguished Merit (K.C.D.M. / D.C.D.M.)
- Companion of Distinguished Merit (C.D.M.)
- Member of Distinguished Merit (M.D.M.)
The Badge of the Order is a golden Imperial Sunburst in a field of black, with a black crescent over the sunburst; one end of the crescent forms a lion's head, the other the head of a dove; this represents the two sides of diplomacy, a desire for peace but also a willingness to make righteous war. [3]
The Headquarters of the Order are located on Capital. Located near the Diplomatic Corps offices, the Grand Hall of Imperial Merit contains mementos and trophies brought from all over the Third Imperium and far beyond, brought back by members from their posted assignments. A towering structure, it is a veritable treasure trove of oddities and curiosities that defy the ready understanding of Humaniti. The Argushiigi Admegulasha Bilanidin maintains a small staff in the Grand Hall, who act as docents. Tours are conducted for the families of members upon request. Once a year, on Holiday, tours are also opened to members of the public through a Grand Lottery which runs for the entire year. This staff also provides historical and academic services to those members who need more information on one of the cultures or sophonts represented. [3]
