Each member of the Star Rovers becomes a recipient of the Space-Hero Medal. Though they are proud of the award, none of them understand what they did to deserve it.

Using tactics of their fellow Star Rovers each member was successful, so they exchange medals, giving theirs to the member whose methods helped them succeed.
