THE
MEDUSA V
ADEPTUS ASTARTES
ALLIANCE MEDAL
(M5A3)
The
Medusa V Adeptus Astartes Alliance Medal
(usually just called the M5A3 Medal for
short) is a mark of Honour awarded to all
loyal members of the Adeptus Astartes Alliance
that took part in some way in the Medusa
V Campaign.
The
Adeptus Astartes Alliance was a secret organization
put together by a multitude of Adeptus Astartes
Chapters. - Its purpose; to unite the Chapters
in a Crusade and bring their efforts together
by sharing information, planning, setting
up ordered targets, spy networks, counter-spies,
spreading false information and propaganda.
- All to better defeat the enemies of the
Imperium.
The
silver version of the medal was awarded
to any and all members of the Alliance that
stayed loyal throughout the Campaign.
There
is however also a gold version of the Medal;
this was awarded to members of the Alliance
that stayed loyal and stood out in an exemplary
good and inspiring way.
Those
awarded with the M5A3 medal are counted
as being utterly loyal to the Imperium of
mankind, and while most outside the Alliance
do not know precisely what it is for, they
recognize it as a medal of honour and extreme
loyalty to the Imperium. - To the intrepid
members of the Adeptus Astartes Alliance
on Medusa V however, it also serves as a
mark of recognition and trust.
Those
awarded the gold version of the medal are
also revered as true Champions of Mankind
and are usually shown great respect and
reverence.
From
among the Guardian Angels, the M5A3 medal
was awarded to all active members, but the
Gold Medal was only awarded to the Task
Force's Supreme Commander: Daniel D'Angelo.
