===Awards & Commendations===

'''COLT DANIELS'''

{{Citation|Sisko Tactical Cross|238912.22|[[Starbase 118 Ops]]|"A good tactical officer knows that there is more to the job than pushing the ‘fire’ button. In a realm where research is often needed, tempered reactions required, and a cool, calm head must always exist, Lieutenant Colt Daniels never fails to deliver realistic, well-thought-out results, regardless of what he is presented with. Throughout this year, he’s gone from a brand new player to a seasoned veteran that the crew often looks to for direction in both the realm of traditional Tactical information, as well as the lesser-known and implied areas where these officers are found to be. He isn't afraid to throw ideas or situations out into the open, where his fellow officers can manipulate them as well, and he isn't one to ever back down from a challenge. This is readily apparent not only in his simming and work aboard Ops, where he’s made himself an integral member of the crew, but in the creation of the Tactical report he does for the Podcast team. He has been willing to step outside the bounds of Ops itself to reach out and connect with Tactical officers throughout the fleet to bring our Podcast listeners a report on the tactical readiness of their own ships, and of the StarBase 118 Fleet as a whole. Because of his intricate knowledge of the duty post, his ability to bring a new layer of realistic simming to his ship, and his willingness to go above and beyond the expectations set out for him, I take great pride in presenting him with this award."

'''TYLER KELLY'''

{{Citation|Silver Palm|239112.31|[[USS Columbia]]|"When Tyler Kelly came to town, he kicked our energy level up a notch. Kelly’s writer has used action-packed and dramatic scenes, such as stymieing a villain’s plan by throwing a PADD across the room or engaging in hand-to-throat combat at a very tense moment, to bring our storylines to the next level. He engages with his fellow writers to write joint posts and leave tags for whomever needs them, and gives our sim a sense of realism by introducing artifacts such as a photo of his beaten character or the actual text of a security report. Beyond this, Kelly’s writer stays active on the forums, taking part in games as well as contributing to other threads. With each post, he pours his enthusiasm and energy into our group, and for that, Tyler Kelly is awarded the Silver Palm. Thank you, Tyler!"

{{Citation|Natasha Yar Pin|239201.01|[[USS Columbia]]|"The crew of USS Columbia has a knack for getting into trouble. Fortunately, Tyler Kelly has a knack for getting them back out. Kelly's writer always does so in spectacular fashion, breathing life into scenes and storylines while neglecting neither the development of his character nor the IC consequences of each action. Scenes of particular note include the violent jerk-reaction of destroying a PADD to prevent dangerous captives from going free as well as a struggle to the death in hand to hand combat. This year, Columbia faced tremendous threats from internal security breaches - arson, attempted assassinations, and hostile bridge takeovers among them. Each of these piled onto the heap of the security department's troubles, but Kelly gracefully -- and dramatically -- dispatched each. Kelly's actions always fit within and serve the overarching ship plot and the needs of other characters. Along the way, he gives the crew a sense of what is involved in the ship security, issuing security reports for our perusal and welcoming aboard new officers as he grants their security clearance. I am very proud to present Tyler Kelly with this year's Natasha Yar Pin."
