The Military Cross (MC) is a military decoration awarded by Vionna-Frankenlisch to officers and other ranks of the Imperial Army. Established in 1900, the Military Cross has been awarded to Imperial servicemen in every Vionna-Frankenlischian conflict since its inception. It is a Third Order award, with the King's Cross (2nd), and the Cross of Romulus (1st) taking precedence.
The MC is granted in recognition of "an act or acts of exemplary gallantry during active operations against the enemy on land" to all members of the Imperial Army of any rank. The Military Cross has also been awarded to officers of allied and Commonwealth armies for service alongside Imperial forces. Since 1911, the Military Cross has also been awarded posthumously.
