MERIT MEDALS

 Merit medals are used to give recognition to members who perform well and contribute to the vitality of the Hammer's Fist. Multiple awarding of any medal is valid except where noted in the medal descriptions. Medals listed from highest to lowest.

Medal of Honor (MoH)
The Medal of Honour is the highest medal a member of the Emperor's Hammer may be awarded. The recipients of the Medal of Honour have performed consistent service above and beyond the call of duty and have personally and significantly improved the entire Fleet through their direct actions. A fictional example of such service would include sacrifice of a pilot in the line of duty while saving others. A more practical example for the award would be for a member who personally introduced an aspect to the Fleet that proves to be instrumental in its growth. This medal can only be awarded by the Fleet Commander.
