I couldn't find anything solid on TC decorations in GT:ISW.

p46 - Arpad Kovacs being "twice decorated for heroism".

p89 - VIlani preference for decorating units instead of individuals,
explicitly called out as a contrast to the Terran approach.

Obviously this has direct relevance to Parental Advisory, given the
canonical 2nd, 3rd and 4th Imperia have been well and truly butterflied
away.  (Given this mob's luck, though, I can't rule out a
brute-force-over-underpants crash-landing on Cymbeline).

In timeworn Trav fashion that's older than I am, I have to come up with
something.  Or, hit the TML up for same.

Especially in this "Burgess Shale" period (with apologies to Herren Pick
und Zeitlin,
https://www.freelancetraveller.com/features/othroads/burgess.html), I
can't come up with much better than the awards for specific TC service
branches broadly descending from the parent service(s) that had most
influenced them.

As a quick refresher, we have:

TC Naval Service - them wot the AZS kicketh out of them, the crap.  What
any other interstellar state would call the navy.

TC Marines - homo sapiens bootus bootus.  These nutcases really WTF the
Vilani out, as they don't have the decency to be naval personnel doing
naval things, or army personnel doing army things, but naval personnel
lowering themselves to do army things.

TC Army - primary responsibility is to deal with enemy forces within
bombardment range (p62) - usually about 40,000 miles (~64,000 km for us
metric types).  This subsumes wet-naval operations and what the 3I would
call COACC, as well as sub-synchronous dry-naval operations.

--- IMTU LINE - ABANDON TEN BUCKS ALL WHO CROSS HERE ---

TC Naval Service Scouts - not specifically addressed in GT:ISW, I had to
fill this mob in as a couple of PCs had rolled up time in "the Scouts"
(thank you oh so very little, Mongoose).  The branch of the TC Naval
Service the Admiralty would prefer to forget exist.

As the pseudo-subspecies name suggests, the TCM are very strongly
influenced by the Royal Marines.  This is both directly (such as some
git with a badass moustache writing "Fly, You Fools!" - as at 2129 AD,
the majority of the TCM's flag officers are RM transferees) and through
the influence the RM has had on other amphibious services.  This would
suggest UK awards carrying across in some fashion - Victoria/George
Cross definitely, not sure about lower level decorations.  The Elizabeth
Cross would also fit, except that it lobbed nearly 20 years after
divergence from OTL.

Unlike the TCM, the TCN is not so clearly dominated by one "parent"
service, as it was mashed up from the various national forces previously
operating under UN command. So, in the immortal words of the Muppet
admiral, Animal, "WHAT DO?" - would the TCN go for a new set of awards
rather than try to follow the TCM's lead?

TCN Scouts - much as for the "proper" TCN.

TC Army - No clue.  Thoughts?
