The warrior cross is the highest military award of RGA. Those people, who have kept fighting beyond the point of mutual destruction and despair in wars where RGA's victory has been all but certain, get the warrior cross. Getting nuked in an alliance war also grants the award to a member.

It can only be awarded by the Empress/Emperor or by the Minister of Defence, if the Empress or the Emperor agrees.

Every rogue has been obliterated so far, with the exception of Polov National State. Polov surrendered and paid reparations worth of about $60,000.
