Cross in Platinum of the Grand Galactic Alliance
The physical award is a silver-gold galactic-alloy chain with a large, deep-blue sapphire set in a platinum medallion in the shape of an equal-armed cross, and it comes with a substantial monetary award, which may be added to, for services "above and beyond the call." It also comes with the title of Lord or Lady as appropriate.
The Cross in Platinum of the Grand Galactic Alliance is the Pan-Galactic Coalition's greatest award and honor for valor in combat with enemy forces.
The first awards of the Cross in Platinum were to the Lady Myclestra of Alontora, the Lord Surlianth Surlianthet, Agent Echo of Alpha One, and Agent Omega of Alpha One.
