Medal Text:
The Battle of Eruka IX.
On November 9, YC123, a major sub-capital engagement occurred at a Triglavian-aligned industrial complex in the Caldari system of Eruka. The EDENCOM-allied Lux Invicta fleet achieved its strategic objective and inflicted equal damage to defending forces, despite being heavily outnumbered. This medal is awarded to Khimi Harar capsuleers who helped ensure the operation's success.
When duty calls me I must go
To stand and face another foe
But part of me will always stray
Over the Stars and far away.
Chorus:
"O'er the Stars and with the Main
Through Kahah, Thebeka and Stain
Empress commands and we obey
Over the Stars and far away.
If I should fall to rise no more
As many comrades did before
Then ask the pipes and drums to play
Over the Stars and far away.
Then undock into the scrum
With lasers blazing like the sun
Jumping the gates come what may
Over the Stars and far away."

Comments:
Maria, i saw local and I though we were goners! Was crazy. One Guardian after another got shot out, but we kept it up!
Gaven report
Lux Invicta forces, including Aspirant Thrawn in an Expedition Force Harbinger and Chapter Master Lok'ri in a LUMEN Guardian, joined the assault on the Stribog structure in Eruka's armor timer. The attack was successful, despite being outnumbered more than two to one, with losses on order of 11.5 billion on both sides. We were able to take the objective, so operation success.
The enemy concentrated on our Logi wing, and eventually broke it, but we held long enough and I am pleased with the performance.
The Anoyia Expedition Force took its first casualties with the loss of one of it's Harbingers.
Overall, operation success.
