These awards are intended to recognize effort or achievement that goes beyond a single simulation. As a result, all awards on this page must be authorized by the personnel specified. As with the single simulation awards, those listed in gold indicate "in character" awards and those in red indicate "out of character" awards. Those awards listed in purple are "unit awards" -- these are generally for ship- or subfleet-wide recognitions and are combined IC and OOC recognitions.








 

AWARDS   PRESENTED   BY   CINC   AND   DCINC

SPECIAL SERVICES AWARD
Award given to recognise a small, short-term OOC effort put into making UCIP a better place. A Special Services ribbon is awarded when someone writes short pieces of documentation, serves on a CinC or DCinC short-term committee, provides useful information or services of a short term nature, or any other service done to UCIP that the CinC or DCinC wishes to recognize.

GOLDEN NEBULA
The highest career award commonly available to UCIP members. It can be awarded to members who sim for one year with a maximum of two excused absences or man a UCIP Staff Post for one year with only two weeks of inactivity/LOA. This medal can also be used at the discretion of the CinC to recognise long standing members of UCIP who are worthy of praise, but who do not sim regularly.

LEGION OF MERIT
Award given to recognise a large OOC effort put into making UCIP a better and more enjoyable place. Putting a concerted effort into an Organisation Wide plot, rescuing a simulation from decomissioning and bringing it to glory are examples of when the Legion could be awarded.

SOLAR BURST AWARD
Awarded once every three months to an individual Staff member who puts forward the best image of UCIP at all opportunities, carries out their duties timely and reliably, and who can be relied upon to act sensibly and with maturity in all situations.

ORION AWARD
Awarded bi-anually by the DCinC to a ship that has demonstrated the best qualities of UCIP, with constantly good sim plots, high attendance and a Command Staff who can be relied upon to look out for the interests of their crew and do all paperwork required of them in a timely and reliable fashion.

LONE STAR AWARD
Awarded to one non-staff member of UCIP every three months by the CinC for an outstanding achievement that affects UCIP on the organisation level. An example would be successfully creating a new Fleet, or a new culture that is worked out in such depth as to be easily usable by any other member of UCIP.

10th Anniversary Award
This award is given to all those individuals who were members of UCIP during the 10 year Anniversary of UCIP in October of 2004. It is in celebration of 10 years of simming on the Internet for UCIP in recognition of the contributions of all members over the last 10 years. 		   

ANDREW BERGEN SIMMING AWARD
Awarded bi-anually by the CinC after consultations with a specially-formed Bergen Committee, the Andrew Bergen Simming Award is the single highest unit award available to UCIP simulations. Four ships are recognized with this award every six months, and each of the four recipient simulations can stand proud, knowing that in the best Star Trek sim group on the Internet, their sim is the best of that best.

DANG REICHA AWARD FOR UNITY
This award is presented by the CinC to the SIMs who participate in a Joint Plot where SIMs from more than one Division participate to a successful conclusion. Named after one of UCIP's long standing members who promoted unity and the breaking down of divisional walls.
