[Introductory blurb about awards here]. There are four categories of awards: General Awards, Special Awards, Duty Post Awards, and Staff Awards.
General Awards
Any member can receive a General Award. One general award, per vessel, is allowed per ceremony with the exception of the 1, 3, 5, and 10-year Member awards, which are awarded to all qualifying members aboard a vessel.
- The Order of Starfleet Merit and Achievement First Class (TOSMA): This award is given to members who show great dedication in their behavior, and simming abilities. A candidate for TOSMA I regularly contributes good, solid ideas to the plot and character development. They also take the time to edit and proof-read their sims to ensure quality in their writing.
- The Genesis Badge: The Most Improved Simmer Award, for officers who show conspicuous effort in improving their simming skills.
- The Scotty Cross: Given to an officer who shows extreme creativity while solving a plot dilemma or in character plot twist.
- The Neelix Award: For extra, out of character, simming devotion. This includes, helping fellow officers who are in need of simming aid, running OOC sims, upkeep of wiki pages, etc.
- The Nebula Bar: Awarded for achievements in exploration. Awarded to a simmer who has shown great imagination when creating new guest races, or expanding on low profile (already discovered) races, or new planets and systems. The recipient will need to have displayed an ability to create a convincing and descriptive, realistic environment/race which inspires other simmers or enhances the flow of a given plot.
- The Silver Palm: Awarded to a simmer who has consistently boosted the morale of his/her crew. The recipient will be known to be able to add that spark to a plot whenever it may be lagging, or may be able to consistently bring enjoyment or a bit of humour to the sim, whilst keeping such sims relevant and realistic.
- The Sheathed Sword: Presented to those to decide to inflict injury on their character, and then dive into the resulting emotions and choices in a realistic manner. The name comes from line in a Robert Jordan book where a warrior must be prepared to "Sheath the Sword" in his own body, i.e. to take a grievous wound to achieve your goal, in this case more realistic simming as opposed to an actual goal of the character like the established award.
- The B-Plot Award: For those simmers who manage to show a good portion of the character's life despite the demands of the main plot.
- The Russ Bar: The Russ bar is awarded to a writer whose knowledge of Trek lore is extraordinary. Named for Tim Russ, the actor who played Tuvok on Star Trek: Voyager, who was already a dedicated Star Trek fan before securing the role on the show.
- 1-year Member: For those who have been members continuously for one year.
- 3-year Member: For those who have been members continuously for three years.
- 5-year Member: For those who have been members continuously for five years.
- 10-year Member: For those who have been members continuously for ten years.
Special Awards
Any member can receive a Special Award. However, only one of each award is allowed per ceremony.
- The Locutus Award: For members of the Publicity Team who go above-and-beyond their monthly requirements for participation on a regular basis. These team members show enthusiasm and flair for spreading the word about or role-playing community and take an active interest in finding new ways to invite people to join our ranks.
- The Sarpeidon Award: Given to any simmer who has made outstanding contributions to the 118Wiki. Sarpeidon was the world in TOS's "All Our Yesterdays," in which the planet's population created a library containing their entire world's history. This is, in essence, what our wiki strives to become: a collection of our group's history and a simming database.
- The Data Artistic Award: Rewarded to any officer in the fleet who has made a consistent effort to enter each of the bi-monthly writing challenges. Most notably, the officer must have continued participation even if their submissions were not picked as the winner, thus sticking with the challenge and always giving other something exciting to read.
- The Boothby Award: For trainers who go above and beyond their Academy Training Requirements. These trainers display an outstanding example of dedication to bringing new cadets to our community.
- The Rising Star Award: For members who show great promise in many facets of their participation in the group, and to whom we look to as a future leader.
- The Kalendra Award: Awarded to a simmer who has performed (on more than one occasion) devious, unexpected plot twists. The simmer must have shown an ability to surprise their colleagues with clever plot twists that were relevant and plausible, given a particular plot.
- The Xalor Clan Xifilis Award: Given to any simmer who overcomes any sort of disadvantage while simming. This award was originally called the "Rachel Garett Pendant," but was renamed for the 2000 ceremony to to honor a respected simmer in UFOP: StarBase 118 who passed away in that year.
- The Great Bird Award: This award is the highest honor given to any officer, and has only been given once in the history of the group. It is given to an officer who helps develop and/or invents a new way of simming, a new way of thinking, or a new way of looking at the Star Trek universe.
Duty Post Awards
Duty Post Awards are given to individuals in a designated duty post, department, or division. Only one of each award is allowed per ceremony.

- The Natasha Yar Pin - Security
