Kuat Systems Engineering Medal

The Kuat Systems Engineering Medal was an honor bestowed upon academics, taking its moniker from Kuat Systems Engineering, the same corporation that produced starships. Before his death in 1 BBY, the scientist Galen Erso, an expert in kyber crystals, was a recipient of this distinction.
