General Campaign Medal - Assurian Halo
Neutralization of the Ishtari Campaign

In 32 ABY, Emperor's Hammer forces arrived at the Assurian Halo to free the planets from the Ishtari insectoids' control and hopefully neutralize them for good. After a month long campaign full of small battles that slowly chipped away at both the Emperor's Hammer and Ishtari forces, the Emperor's Hammer was able to push into the core planets of the system. Vicious fighting lasted until the last day, where the TIE Corps eventually proved triumphant.

Imperial Storm V Participant

General Campaign Medal - Tkon Rift
Defending the Rift Campaign

In 33 ABY, Emperor's Hammer forces arrived at the Tkon Rift, an expanse of space that the Kilji Illumine sought to pass through enroute to dominating this region of space and then the galaxy. Over the course of a month forces of the TIE Corps and Secret Order put up a mighty fight, contesting every star system in the Rift and destroying well over half of the Kilji starfleet before the enemy forces fell back. Participants in the campaign were recognized with award of the General Campaign Medal - 2013 Tkon Rift, with the blue and white ribbon alluding to the insignia of the Chiss Ascendancy in recognition of the newly established relationship between the groups.

Imperial Storm VI Participant

Reclaiming the Rift Campaign

In 33 ABY, after months of training and build-up, the forces of the Emperor's Hammer launched an all out attack on the forces of the Kilji Illumine who had been consolidating their hold on portions of the Tkon Rift. After weeks of combat that saw the TIE Corps liberate world after world, the Emperor's Hammer emerged victorious in lifting the threat of the Kilji Illumine.
