The Star of Bravery is New Ingerland's second highest award for civilian bravery. The star, which may be awarded posthumously, is granted in recognition of acts of the most conspicuous courage in circumstances of extreme peril. To date, there have been 325 recipients of the award. Created in 1972, the medal is primarily a civilian award, but it is also awarded to members of the New Ingerland Defence Force who perform acts of bravery in non-operational circumstances.
