Terran Hero

The honour of Terran Hero, officially Most Virtuous Paragon of Humanity, is the highest possible honour that is awarded by the Terran Federal Republic. It is always awarded posthumously. Its usage is so rare that it is considered the highest possible honour in the whole galaxy. In total, there are 111 Heroes, with 94 having lived before the Unification. The last Hero to have been awarded the honour is Grand Admiral Lawrence Callaghan in 2709. Jokingly, it is said that someone who becomes a Terran Hero is "canonised".
There are three broad categories of justifications of the awarding of the title: leadership, scientific and cultural advancement and military service. This is a list of all 111 Heroes:
