Medals
Medals—privileged adornments of distinction among ranks, commemorations of unforgettable events, rewards for noteworthy achievements. Yes, medals are awesome!
Federation Space players—and their characters—may earn medals as they distinguish themselves through credible participation in a specific set of circumstances or fulfil specific requirements to a degree above and beyond expectations. While there is often a very thin line between earnings of players and earnings of their characters, generally, players may earn out of context achievement medals and campaign medals, and characters may earn in context service medals.
The following tables illustrate the significance of each medal:
