The Embry Star was a military medal awarded for heroism, and the highest possible honor available to a COG soldier. Only members of the COG military were eligible to receive this award. It's possible that some award ceremonies are conducted at Embry Square in the city of Ephyra. The Embry Star is given to those Gears who have heroically distinguished themselves with gallantry and valor, going beyond the call of duty, while engaged in action against an enemy of the COG.
