Veritas Player Achievements are player achievements that can be earned by USS Veritas players for completing IC or OOC objectives and challenges.

Veritas Player Achievements are OOC accolades awarded by the Veritas command staff to players. If a player believes they have earned an achievement, they can notify the Veritas command staff by email and include the link to the supporting sim or documentation. Veritas Player Achievements are tracked on a spreadsheet/leaderboard so that players can keep track of achievements they have earned.

Displaying Achievements

Each Veritas Player Achievement is awarded with an icon. They can be displayed wherever the player would like, such as on his/her user page, character’s bio, or forum signature. All icons are made by Freepik from www.flaticon.com.

To easily display an Veritas Player Achievement on the wiki, use the IPA template by simply writing: {{IPA|Name of the Achievement}}

For instance,

{{IPA|It takes two}}

creates:

It takes two

And you can list them in a row or in a table:

{|
|{{IPA|It takes two}}
|{{IPA|A head full of dreams}}
|{{IPA|Isn't she lovely?}}
|}

It takes two

A head full of dreams

Isn't she lovely?

Optional SIM link

You can also add the link to the SIM in which you earned that achievement by adding SIM=URL of the sim. For instance:

{{IPA|Isn't she lovely?|SIM=http://sims.starbase118.net/posts/1996080}}

Isn't she lovely?

Achievements Rack

Player achievements can also be displayed on your character's sidebar, just like awards, service ribbons, and badges, using Template:Achievements Rack.
