Starfleet Command Commendation for Conspicuous Gallantry

Originally created as a ribbon called the Pantereas Commendation Ribbon, the Commendation for Conspicuous Gallantry was the first of the commendation awards. Awarded to members of Starfleet, who distinguish themselves by heroism, outstanding achievement or meritorious service. This is a personal decoration, which has often been awarded for Life Saving, in place of the medals originally created for that purpose and is junior to the Starfleet Command Meritorious Service Medal.
