Awardable Medals

These is a list of known medals that Terran pilots may receive during their careers. The player must sometimes meet certain conditions apart from completing a mission to receive a given medal. In each game, there are two medals that are only granted if the player plays on at least Medium and impeccably completes a duo of missions.

From a FREDding perspective, medals are awarded by the grant-medal symbolic expression. If the player fails to progress with the campaign, as determined by the campaign file, he will not receive the medal anyhow.

Players also receive "ace" ranks that can be acquired by scoring a given number of kills. There are three such ranks in both games: Ace, Double Ace, Triple Ace.
