The President of Liberty in the name of The Congress takes pride in presenting the MEDAL OF HONOR to

VICE ADMIRAL
RACHEL A. BAKER
LIBERTY NAVY

for service as set forth in the following

CITATION:

For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of her life above and beyond the call of duty while serving as Commanding Officer of 1FLT during the Hudson Crisis on June 26, 822. Flying her personal Guardian-class snubcraft as part of a larger 1FLT task force, she was called upon to lead her forces in order to stop an unexpected assault on Hudson. As Commanding Officer of the Task Force, Vice Admiral Baker distinguished herself when she willingly sacrificed her vessel and nearly her own life in order to ensure the full withdrawl of Naval forces from the yet unidentified anomaly. By her undaunted courage, fighting spirit, and unwavering devotion to duty, Vice Admiral Baker reflected great credit upon herself and upheld the highest traditions of the Liberty Naval Service.

VICE ADMIRAL / COMMODORE
JAMES LAMBERT
LIBERTY NAVY

for service as set forth in the following

CITATION:

For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while serving as Commanding Officer of the Liberty Naval Ship Fearless during the Hudson Crisis on June 26, 822. Commanding the Fearless, a Defiant-class Gunboat serving under the First Fleet, Vice Admiral Lambert demonstrated extreme bravery and heroism by being among the first vessels to enter the mysterious anomaly in the Hudson system, and emerge unto a highly hostile and completely unknown Nomad-infested system. Vice Admiral Lambert placed his life on the line not only to allow the successful withdrawl of all Naval vessels, but also to ensure the safety of Vice Admiral Baker after her vessel was destroyed within the unknown anomaly. His actions on that day reflect great credit towards Vice Admiral Lambert and uphold the highest traditions of the Liberty Naval Service.

The President of Liberty in the name of The Congress takes pride in presenting the PRESIDENTIAL UNIT CITATION to the crew, both living and killed in action, of

Liberty Naval Ship CLOVERFIELD [BB-19]

for service as set forth in the following

CITATION:

For extraordinary heroism and outstanding performance in action against enemy forces in defense of the Hudson System on June 26, 822. During this time, the crew of the Cloverfield, led by executive officer Commander Natalie A. Reaser, entered an unknown anomaly in order to defend the system of Hudson from possible alien incursion. The Cloverfield, in tandem with 1FLT elements, destroyed a large number of hostile alien craft and disabled many others, before the order was given to withdraw back to known space. While many of 1FLT and its supporting elements - as well as freelancers and civilians caught in the anomaly - dispersed and exited the system, the Cloverfield and her crew waited until the last possible moment to ensure the safe withdrawl of all forces. In doing so, the Cloverfield was critically wounded upon entry into known space, losing a majority of her engine compartment and a total of eighty-seven killed in action, in addition to fourty-nine missing in action. The sailors, marines, and pilots aboard the Liberty Naval Ship Cloverfield faced certain death and impossible odds, yet, through sheer courage and force of will, completed their objectives and ensured the safety of not only the First Fleet, but the entirety of Liberty and perhaps even Sirius. Their sacrifices are in keeping with the highest traditions of the Liberty Naval Service, and they shall never be forgotten.

Signed,
James Powell
