Champion of Empire Day

The Champion of Empire Day was an Imperial badge awarded to individuals who had undergone extensive dutiful service to the Empire. It was given on Empire Day, and was one of the few awards to be presented directly by Darth Vader.

One such badge was awarded by Vader to a spacer during the Empire Day Festivities on Theed, Naboo in recognition for the spacer's service to the Empire.
