'''Awards''' are given in recognition of out-of-character (OOC) achievement. Awards are presented during the annual awards ceremony in June.
There are four categories of awards: General Awards, Special Awards, Duty Post Awards, and Staff Awards.  


==General Awards==
{{Award Categories}}
Any member can receive a general award. One general award, per vessel, is allowed per ceremony.  
{{Awards}}
There are five categories of awards given at three different levels:
* '''Fleet:''' Awarded to one member from the entire fleet.
* '''Ship:''' Awarded to one member per vessel.
* '''Individual:''' Awarded to all eligible members.


* '''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.
==IC vs. OOC==
* '''The Genesis Badge''' (The Most Improved Simmer Award): For officers who show conspicuous effort in improving their simming skills.
The difference between awards, badges, service ribbons, pennants, and commemorative coins:
* '''The Scotty Cross''': Given to an officer who shows extreme creativity while solving a plot dilemma or in character plot twist.
* '''[[awards]]''' and '''[[badges]]''': Presented for OOC accomplishments by an individual ''simmer/writer''. Awards and badges can be displayed on any and all characters' pages and the user page of that simmer/writer.
* '''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.
* '''[[service ribbons]]''': Presented for IC performed by a specific ''character''. Service ribbons can only be displayed on that ''specific'' character's page.
* '''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.
* '''[[pennants]]''': Presented for OOC accomplishments by a ''ship/station/installation''. Pennants are displayed on the page of the ship or station itself.
* '''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.
* '''[[commemorative coins]]''': Presented for OOC accomplishments as a ''fleet''. Coins are displayed on any and all characters' pages and user pages of simmer/writers who were present for the fleetwide accomplishment or event.
* '''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.
* '''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.

* '''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.
