Awarded to participants in the first major battleship skirmish in the Thebeka Campaign of YC 120-121, most of the fighting centered around the Thebeka-Irnal gate.
"Which test reveals more of the soul, the test that a man will take to prove his faith, or the test that finds the man who believed his faith already proven? If you know this answer, then you also know which of these challenges bear the greatest penalty for failure. The gates of paradise will open for you one time only; woe to the soul who dares to knock twice." - The Scriptures, Book of Missions 5:14
Additional Comments by Lunarisse:
A number of large ship skirmishes occurred in Thebeka with various fleet sizes and compositions. The battle on December 27th, was the first battleship fight involving LUMEN as full participants and served notice to Electus Matari that LUMEN were carebears with teeth and may have afforded LUMEN a measure of respect and consideration. LUMEN pilots reshipped as quickly as they were lost and retook the field. The battle report is attached (( zkillboard.com/related/30002226/201812270300/ )). Electus Matari lost ten battleships, with an ISK value of 4,389,317,791.27 to seven LUMEN/PIE battleships, with an isk value of 1,616,963,746.72.
