The most prestigious distinction of Zakuul, the Medal of Eternal Valor, was a Zakuulan award. Following the swift neutralization of Balmorra's planetary defenses by the Eternal Empire's Eternal Flagship crew, Emperor Valkorian bestowed the medal upon them. This action facilitated the unblemished capture of the world's weapon factories by the Emperor's twin offspring, Arcann and Thexan.
BioWare included a reference to the Medal of Eternal Valor within the Codex entry dedicated to the Eternal Flagship. This inclusion occurred within the Knights of the Fallen Empire expansion from 2015 for the 2011 massively multiplayer online role-playing game Star Wars: The Old Republic.
