Medals

Nadezhda offers a variety of decorations to crew members who do great things in service to the colony. Some medals are awarded by the Premier, while only the highest honors are only given by faction owners. Here are all of the medals said to be currently in service, listed below in order of prestige in order of highest to lowest, from top to bottom.

This page also lists notable recipients of various medals who have worked aboard the colony. Some medal recipients were given under specific conditions that are worth mentioning, while others are self-explanatory.

Medal of Extraordinary Heroism

An extremely rare golden medal awarded only by the brigadier. To receive such a medal is the highest honor, and as such, very few exist. This medal is almost never awarded to anybody but the brigadier.

Notable recipients:

Outstanding Leadership Medal

A prestigious medal awarded to employees for notably outstanding leadership which affects technical or administrative programs of Nadezhda.

Notable recipients:

Medal of Unity

A silver medal awarded to a group which has demonstrated exceptional teamwork to achieve a notable feat.

Notable recipients:

Medal of Valor

A silver medal awarded for acts of exceptional valor.

Notable recipients:

Robust Security award

An award for distinguished combat and sacrifice in defense of the colony. Often awarded to the Marshals.

Notable recipients:

Bronze Heart medal

A bronze heart-shaped medal awarded for sacrifice. It is usually awarded posthumously, or for severe injury in the line of duty.

Notable recipients:

Emergency Response Team Service medal

A bronze medal awarded for veterans of the Emergency Response Team. This medal is given by the brigadier only after a lengthy career in the ERT.

Notable recipients:

Nobel Sciences Award

A bronze medal which represents significant contributions to the field of science or engineering. (In other words, you performed, discovered, or came up with something so cool, it made the admins add it to the lore.)

Notable recipients:

Health Service Achievement medal

A bronze medal which is issued to personnel who display meritorious achievement and excellence in the field of medicine.

Notable recipients:

Distinguished Conduct medal

A bronze medal awarded for distinguished conduct. Whilst a great honor, this is the most basic award given by Nadezhda. It is often awarded by a premier to a member of their crew.

Notable recipients:

Supreme Banner of Courage

A medal given to those who show strength in the face of grave danger.

Notable recipients:

Distinguished Banner of Supreme Ineptitude

This "medal" can be made by ripping off some cardboard and using a scrap of string from your uniform. It's given as a cruel joke by the crew sometimes as a way of saying, "Well, you tried! But you still failed." (If you end up on this list, relax, and just laugh along with us because we were all idiot noobs once. Else we'll make sure you never live it down.)

The actual reason this is rewarded is when you fail so spectacularly that people don't even care you failed. It's downright impressive how badly you failed.
