Yeah, I think I confused the Meritorious Unit and the Distinguished Flying Cross. I got the latter, but not the former because I didn't get the Lilith kill. Eh, no biggie.
On a more bemused note, while searching Freespace Wiki for information on which star systems belonged to the Terrans and which to the Vasudans, I stumbled across
this. I had completely forgotten I had ever wrote anything like this. I especially forgot that I thought that during Reconstruction, the Terrans would possess and/or patrol more star systems than the Vasudans. In retrospect, I
really should have known better than to think that the Terrans would control/populate 24 star systems while the Vasudans only possessed five star systems and thinking that the Terran-Vasudan War would still be so evenly matched as to result in a 14 year stalemate.
Has anyone done a tally of which star systems belonged to the Terrans and which to the Vasudans after I published this?
