Lauvaux Cross

The Lauvaux Cross is the highest military honor of the Federal Republic of Fratanica, given "for displaying extraordinary acts of gallantry in service of others rather than the self". The medal is named after famous military leader Lauvaux the Vanquisher, known for strategic brilliance and incredible heroism. While the medal can be given to both the living and deceased, the Lauvaux Cross is historically awarded posthumously. Medals are approved by the National Assembly and awarded by the President in an award ceremony at the Presidential Palace.

There have been a total of 218 recipients, 169 of them awarded posthumously.
