Grand Order of the Emperor

The Grand Order of the Emperor (GOE) is the fourth-highest merit award in the Emperor's Hammer. It may be awarded to and displayed by any Emperor's Hammer member regardless of subgroup.

Criteria

Any member of the Emperor's Hammer may be awarded the Grand Order of the Emperor for service above and beyond the call of duty and valor extraordinaire. Award of this medal constitutes entrance into a fraternal order, members of which are highly respected in all manners of Imperial functions. Their importance is indicated by the ceremonial dagger which they bear during special occasions where only a select few are permitted weaponry, reflecting the trust placed in these individuals.
