Kenobi Medallion
The Kenobi Medallion was a bronze medal that was awarded to Alliance Army personnel for displaying extraordinary acts of bravery in combat. It was a sixth embellishment to the Kalidor Crescent enacted shortly after the Battle of Yavin, initially as a means to posthumously honor those who fell in combat during said battle.
The medal, named for the famous Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, was supplied posthumously to Jek Tono Porkins for his role in the Battle of Yavin.[1] It was later given to Reyé Hollis for his service during the Battle of Hoth.[2]
