TIE Advanced combat medallion

The TIE Advanced combat medallion was an Imperial starfighter pilot medal awarded for completing basic training with TIE/ad starfighters. It had an engraving of a TIE/ad starfighter.

There were three versions of the medal, which differed only in the metal used to create it: bronze, silver, and gold. The bronze version was awarded to pilots who completed training relating to the TIE/ad's armament of concussion missiles as well as proton rockets. The silver version was awarded to pilots who completed training relating to the above as well as a reenactment of an operation dealing with a raid on a Rebel base and wiping out its fighter complement. The gold version was presented to pilots who completed the above training operations as well as a reenactment of a mission escorting the cargo ship Rasvin to the Laantis.

Known recipients

Maarek Stele received all three versions of this medal after completing the training ops relating to the TIE/ad shortly after the starfighter line entered mass production.
