	FLEET ACHIEVEMENT MEDAL This award is to be handed out to officers who, through their character, play out their own sub-plot. This plot should be well thought out and supported by other characters in the sim. It should fit in neatly and not overlap with the main plot. CO approval of the sub-plot is still necessary as always.		STAR CROSS FOR MERIT This award is presented to an officer by the CO for major contributions which they have made to the Simulation. This award is recommended for plot related achievements, such as taking an active part in carrying the plot forward by writing logs for an IRC sim or extra logs for email sims.
	PURPLE HEART Awarded to an officer who has been significantly injured by either a permanent injury or a log or series of logs about the subject in sickbay for treatment, or a Sim residing in Sickbay.

MERITORIOUS SERVICE MEDAL For having served no less than six consecutive months in one department and performing all duties in an exemplary manner. By this it is meant that the officer's level of performance must be overall above average.

This medal should only be given out to a crewman performing an action necessary to the mission, or the safety of the ship/crew.
