It was created to recognize exceptional military achievement. As Westarctica is largely a peaceful nation, it remains an honor that is rarely awarded. Members of the order are entitled to use the postnominal "KNS" after their name. | ||

After 13 years of being an underutilized honor, the Order's function was deemed non-essential due to Westarctica's commitment to peace and ability to cover the rare need to recognize military achievement with the [[Order of the Snowflake]]. However, after participating in [[Exercise: Westarctic Chill]] with the [[Slabovia]]n military, [[Grand Duke Travis]] decided to revive the Order and return it to active use. | |||
