Meritorious Conduct Under Fire

The Medal for Meritorious Conduct Under Fire (MCUF) is the Imperium's third highest valor award.

The medal is an octagonal piece of metal suspended from a blue ribbon. On the obverse (front) is the depiction of a resolute soldier standing his ground and motioning for others behind him to move forward and follow him. Around the edge is engraved the words: "With Great Merit and Dedication to the Service". On the reverse is the name of the recipient.

The second and additional awards are signified by a metal numeral pin worn on the ribbon to indicate the number of awards, as it is frequently awarded.
