The Silver Crescent was a prestigious commendation presented by the Galactic Republic. It recognized distinguished service around the era of the Great Galactic War. The Republic's commanding officer, Elin Garza, was a recipient of the Silver Crescent due to her actions during the conflict with the Sith.
The Silver Crescent was a form of recognition, either a medal or an honorary mention. The Galactic Republic bestowed it upon individuals for exceptional service during the period surrounding the Great Galactic War against the re-emerging Sith Empire.
Garza, a Human woman hailing from Coruscant, served as a high-ranking officer within the Republic Military throughout the Great Galactic War. During the conflict, Garza demonstrated exceptional strategic abilities and outstanding performance, contributing to the formation and training of the Republic's new Special Forces Division. Despite her contributions, the Republic ultimately suffered defeat, culminating in the Sacking of Coruscant and the subsequent Treaty of Coruscant in 3653 BBY. Garza's distinguished career earned her the Silver Crescent, alongside other awards and commendations. However, in the tense peace that followed the Great Galactic War between the Republic and the Sith Empire, General Garza became a divisive figure, evolving into a political adversary of the Republic's leader, Dorian Janarus.
The leader of Havoc Squad was awarded after the Silver Crescent in the aftermath of Battle of the Gauntlet.
The Silver Crescent's sole appearance in Star Wars lore is within General Garza's fictional profile on The Holonet, which was hosted on the Star Wars: The Old Republic official website. This profile lists the Silver Crescent among the accolades Garza received during her service, but it remains ambiguous as to whether the Silver Crescent was a medal or a citation.
