Diplomatic Mission Ribbon

The Diplomatic Mission Ribbon is a ribbon awarded to all members of the United Stars Military involved in a diplomatic mission. Currently there are three classes of Diplomatic Ribbons.


 * Diplomatic Mission Ribbon First Class - Awarded to members of the United Stars Military who are present and asked to participate in at least part of a series of diplomatic meetings between the Union and a foreign society.  It typically is also presented to Union military personnel present to prevent attacks intended to disrupt the meetings if they successfully repeal an attack.


 * Diplomatic Mission Ribbon Second Class - Awarded to those members of the United Stars Military who were present at a diplomatic meeting to help provide security for those participating and that didn't receive the first class ribbon. Depending on the results of the diplomatic mission, a service member who receives a Diplomatic Mission Ribbon Second Class could have that ribbon upgraded to a First Class.


 * Diplomatic Mission Ribbon Third Class - Awarded to those members of the United Stars Military who were on board the ships that brought the Union delegation to the meeting place with the foreign society.

If a diplomatic mission is deemed a failure, it's possible that those who's actions would normally merit a first or second class ribbon would receive a lower class ribbon.
