'''Service Ribbons''' are '''In Character''' awards presented to characters for acts of heroism and participation in plots and campaigns. As they are IC awards, they are NOT to be shared across characters and can only be displayed on the wiki profile of the specific character to whom they were awarded.

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.

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:
