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
General Campaign Medal - First Encounters
First Encounters Campaign
In 34 ABY, the Emperor's Hammer finally entered territory that was claimed by the First Order. Over the course of a month the forces of the TIE Corps were tasked with the elimination of a series of patrols that culminated in the capture of a fueling depot around the gas giant Zephyron.
Imperial Storm VII Participant
General Campaign Medal - Voice in the Dark
Voice in the Dark Campaign
In 35 ABY the Emperor's Hammer fought a running battle with the forces of the First Order. The Order onslaught was tremendous and forced the loyal forces of the Emperor's Hammer into a heroic rearguard action as they returned to the Gasriese System.
