The Tanda Kehormatan Bintang Jalasena (Navy Star of Honour Medal), established in AD 1968, is a star-level decoration awarded to eligible members of the Indonesian Navy, Indonesian citizens, or foreign nationals, recognising their outstanding contributions towards the advancement and development of the Indonesian Navy. This medal is categorised into three classes: the highest is ‘Utama’, meaning ‘primary’ or ‘excellent’; the second class is ‘Pratama’, meaning ‘initial’ or ‘principal’; and the third class is ‘Nararya’, meaning ‘respected’ or ‘worthy of esteem’. The medal described here belongs to the third class. It is also awarded to all personnel who have received the second-class Armed Forces Long Service Loyalty Medal (Satyalancana Kesetiaan), which is bestowed upon personnel completing 24 years of service.

The medal is a silver, three-dimensional emblem, featuring at its centre the circular Indonesian Navy insignia, composed of an anchor entwined by rope and encircled by rice and cotton stalks. Above the anchor appears the Indonesian national emblem, and below it is the Indonesian Navy motto, ‘JALESVEVA JAYAMAHE’, meaning ‘In the Sea We Triumph’, surrounded by a chain. The insignia is mounted upon an eight-pointed star, four points of which terminate in circular tips, with decorative three-petalled floral motifs set between each of the star’s rays.

The Indonesian national emblem, known as Garuda Pancasila, depicts the mythical golden eagle Garuda, bearing a shield on its chest and gripping a ribbon with its claws. The shield comprises five sections, each symbolising one of the foundational principles of the Indonesian state ideology, Pancasila. At its centre, a small shield bearing a five-pointed star symbolises the first principle, ‘Belief in One Supreme God’, interpreted in a secular manner by Sukarno. The lower-right section contains a chain of interlinked rings—nine round links representing women and eight rectangular links representing men—symbolising universal humanitarianism. The upper-right section shows a banyan tree, symbolising the unity of Indonesia’s diverse ethnicities. The upper-left section portrays a Javanese wild ox (banteng, Bos javanicus), representing democracy through collective deliberation, reflecting the social nature of the animal. The lower-left section features rice and cotton, symbolising welfare and prosperity. Garuda’s claws grasp a white ribbon, bearing the faintly visible Old Javanese inscription ‘BHINNEKA TUNGGAL IKA’, the national motto of Indonesia derived from the 14th-century Majapahit-era epic Kakawin Sutasoma, meaning ‘Unity in Diversity’.

The reverse of the medal is slightly concave, originally bearing only the inscription ‘REPUBLIK INDONESIA’, meaning ‘Republic of Indonesia’, placed slightly above the centre. On this specific medal, however, ‘REPUBLIK INDONESIA’ appears rotated by 90 degrees relative to the obverse and is overprinted at a 45-degree angle by the inscription ‘PENEGAK’, alongside symbols of rice and cotton. ‘PENEGAK’ in Indonesian signifies ‘guardian’ or ‘defender’. This irregularity may be due to a manufacturing error or another unspecified reason.

The ‘PENEGAK’ inscription originates from another loyalty medal, the Satyalancana Penegak (‘Defender Loyalty Medal’), awarded to military and police personnel actively involved for over 30 days in operations to suppress communist forces following the 30 September Movement (Gerakan 30 September, abbreviated as G-30-S or Gestok).

The medal ribbon is blue, displaying a central pattern of four vertical red stripes alternating with three white stripes, with visible blue edges.

The Tanda Kehormatan Bintang (Star of Honour) is an Indonesian emblem of honour. It ranks below the Tanda Jasa Medali (Service Medal) but above the Satyalancana (Loyalty Medal), and is awarded for both military and civil merits, either based upon length of service or specific events.

海軍之星榮譽勳章是公元1968年起設立的星級榮譽勳章，頒授給符合條件的印尼海軍軍人、印尼或外國公民，表彰他們對印尼海軍的進步和發展中所做出的傑出貢獻。海軍之星榮譽勳章分為三級，最高級為「Utama」，意即「最重要的、卓越的」；第二級為「Pratama」，意即「初級的、首要的」；第三級為「Nararya」，意即「受尊敬的人、值得敬仰的人」。該勳章為第三級，也同時綬予所有獲得第二級武裝部隊長期服役忠誠獎章(Satyalancana Kesetiaan)的人員，該忠誠獎章須得服役滿24年才可綬予。

獎章呈銀色的立體圖形，中央為圓形的印尼海軍軍徽，軍徽中央為纏繞著麻繩的船錨，以稻穗與棉花混雜的二束作物環繞。船錨之上為印尼國徽，其下環繞印尼海軍格言「JALESVEVA JAYAMAHE」，意即「海上得勝」，整體軍徽之上環繞鐵鍊。軍徽以八芒星承托，其中四道星芒末端為圓形。八道星芒之間各有三瓣花瓣作為裝飾。印尼國徽之通稱為金翅鳥潘查希拉。印尼國徽的主體是金翅鳥(迦樓羅)，胸前佩有盾徽，鷹爪將綬帶展開。盾徽的五個部分各自代表了印尼潘查希拉，即「建國五項原則」。中央的五角星小盾徽，代表第一項原則，「信仰一個至高無上的神」，但蘇卡諾以自然神論加以詮釋，於是可以衍伸為世俗主義。右下部分的橢圓鍊條，其中有代表女性的9個圓環，與代表男性的8個圓環，代表了普世的人道主義。右上部分的榕樹，代表了枝繁葉茂的多元民族，統合在印尼共和國之下。左上部分的爪哇野牛(banteng，或學名Bos javanicus)，以野牛群的社會性來象徵民主協商。左下部分的稻穗與棉花，以生計日用的農作物象徵福利國主義。迦樓羅的鳥爪抓住一個白色綬帶，綬帶上雖因磨損而難以辨識，但應為古爪哇語「BHINNEKA TUNGGAL IKA」，是為印尼國家格言，出自公元14世紀滿者伯夷帝國時期的史詩《卡卡溫·蘇塔索瑪(Kakawin Sutasoma)》，大意為「異中有同」。

背面微凹，原應僅有中央偏上的「REPUBLIK INDONESIA」，意即「印尼共和國」。該徽章之「REPUBLIK INDONESIA」與正面呈90度旋轉，又複壓印上傾斜45度的「PENEGAK」與稻穗、棉花徽記。「PENEGAK」為印尼文中「守護者、守衛者」之意。可能為錯範，或有其他緣由。

此「PENEGAK」圖樣為另一忠誠獎章(Satyalancana)，守護者忠誠獎章(Satyalancana Penegak)之圖樣。守護者忠誠獎章綬予於九三〇事件(Gerakan 30 September，縮寫為G-30-S或Gestok)中，參與清理與消滅共產勢力之行動，活躍達30天以上之軍警人員。

綬帶為藍底，中央有四道紅色與三道白色豎直條紋交替出現，邊緣顯露藍色。

星級榮譽勳章(Tanda Kehormatan Bintang) 是印尼的榮譽標誌，其等級低於「功績獎章」(Tanda Jasa Medali)，但高於忠誠獎章(Satyalancana)。事由分為軍事與民事，可以基於服務年限或具體事件。
