Colonial Cross

The UNSC Colonial Cross is a medal awarded to soldiers in the UNSC military. The Colonial Cross is awarded for acts of singular daring and devotion and is the highest wartime decoration a UNSC serviceman or woman can earn. It is usually given out in a ceremony recognizing the person who has won the award.

In 2552, Fleet Admiral Sir Terrance Hood held a highly publicized ceremony to award several colonial crosses aboard the Cairo Station.
