(DS9: "Tears of the Prophets") Captain Solok of the USS T'Kumbra received two of these medals, the second in early 2375. (DS9: "Take Me Out to the Holosuite") Captain Benjamin Kelsoe received this medal for his action in preventing the assassination of Federation President Korvin Mot in 2381. Admiral Toshio Kawamura presented the medal to Kelsoe three months after he was rescued from his imprisonment by Tyson Calok and the So'ja Coalition. (Star Trek: Pioneer: "Prime Target", "Everything Changes") Captain Kanril Eleya was initially passed over for the Pike after helping to defeat the 2410 Undine attack on Sol and Qo'noS, due to President Aennik Okeg's anger at her behavior at the preceding Klingon-Federation peace conference, and was instead given the Karagite Order of Heroism. Later that year Fleet Admirals William T. Riker and Klau tr'Kererek convinced Okeg to relent following the beginning of the Iconian War. It helped that High Admiral D'trel had publicly threatened to recommend Kanril for the Romulan Republic's Empress Ael Medal if Kanril didn't get the Pike.

In an illustration of the award featured in the Star Trek Encyclopedia (4th ed., vol. 2, p. 31) , the text on the award was revealed to read "sic semper tyrannis". According to legend, this Latin phrase, meaning "Thus always to tyrants", was spoken by Brutus after assassinating Julius Caesar. In history, it was adopted as the state motto of Virginia in 1776, and also spoken by John Wilkes Booth after assassinating Abraham Lincoln. In an unfilmed or deleted scene from "Tears of the Prophets", Admiral Ross mentions that "the medal usually comes with a lot more pomp and ceremony, but we figured you wouldn't want to be called back to Earth just to sit through a bad chicken dinner with a bunch of brass hats."
