Legion of Honor

From FEInfobase

The Legion of Honor is an order within the Federation, and is one of the most distinguished honors a Starfleet officer can receive. Membership in the Legion is granted by either Starfleet officers with a rank of Vice Admiral or higher, or current members of the Legion ranked at Commandeur or higher. Notably, at least among the awards that can be earned by a modern Starfleet officer since the Borg War, it is one of the few Federation awards that cannot be granted strictly on the basis of valor, gallantry or heroism. A potential member of the Legion must have upheld the honor of the Federation through adherence to its principles in some difficult and dangerous situation, and are expected to continue to do so as part of their duties to the order.

The Legion of Honor has the following ranks:

• Chevalier
• Officier
• Commandeur
• Grand Officier
• Grand'Croix
