Service Ribbons

			Starfleet Officer's Handbook

Service Ribbons are in character (IC) decorations presented to officers for acts of heroism and participation in a vessel's missions or campaign. Ribbons can be received at any time, but are generally presented alongside crew promotions. It is not uncommon for all members of a crew to receive campaign ribbons. Service ribbons should only be displayed on the specific character that received the service ribbon. Unlike awards and badges, which are for out-of-character accomplishments and thus shared among all characters of a simmer/writer, service ribbons are tied to the in-character accomplishments of that particular character. There are five categories of service ribbons: Starfleet Officer's Handbook Introduction Life in the Federation Federation Charter Stardates Timeline Intelligent Lifeform Index Factions Currency Galactic Atlas Life in Starfleet About Starfleet Starfleet General Orders Starfleet Rank Index Flag Officers Officers Enlisted Marines Duty Posts Service Ribbons Starships Officer's Toolkit Encyclopedia Technology Archive Holo-programs Edit this nav Multiple Citations Policy Any service ribbon may be awarded multiple times.
