Throughout a Xenonaut operative's time in the field they may be awarded medals for preforming notable feats and actions in the course of duty. As well as adding a sense of individuality these medals are displayed on the soldiers info screen and give a small 1+ boost in Morale each. Service Medals stack 3 times, for a 3+ Boost to Bravery.

Notes[]
- At least 1 action for the Participation Medals generally means anything that would earn the Xenonaut a statistic boost (like training accuracy, strength), merely surviving such a mission while idle does not automatically grant the Xenonaut this medal.
- In addition, the participation medals are only awarded for the specific ground combat scenario. Preventing their mission from even taking place by shooting down an alien ship that was on it's way to assault a Xenonaut base or perform a terror attack against a city does not grant this medal.
