|style="background:#C0C0C0; font-size: small;" align=center colspan=2 class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"|The Order of Starfleet Merit and Achievement (TOSMA) is the highest general award and is awarded to members who show great dedication in their behavior and simming abilities.<div class="mw-collapsible-content"><br>''The Order of Starfleet Merit and Achievement, sometimes abbreviated as “TOSMA,” is the highest honor we can bestow on our ship. It is for the player that shows dedication and skill in their simming, with strong ideas and execution of those ideas. And this year, it’s going to a relatively new player. This player has only been with us for a few months but has immediately shown prowess and direction with their character, with characterization and backstory alike. This year’s winner is none other than Melissa, the writer of T’Ama. Congratulations!''</div>

|style="background:#C0C0C0; font-size: small" align=center colspan=2 class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"|Awarded to officers who show conspicuous effort in notably improving their simming skills.<div class="mw-collapsible-content"><br>''After initial struggles with ADHD and balance between writing and the great wide world of ‘shiny’, a few of us are very familiar with, Melissa has been working with her mentor on different ways to not only reach full time, but go way beyond that. She has come to the point where she takes on PNPCs and MSNPCs and even visits other ships as a guest, challenging herself. She graciously took on feedback, tactics and advice, took initiative, asked questions and grew since she has joined us. She has had great ideas IC and OOC and really been a positive role model for the younger simmers. She is a breath of fresh - and slightly chaotic - air that we all have come to appreciate and enjoy. It’s been amazing to see her take everything on board, improve her simming and her OOC focus and become an important and strong pillar of the ship. So it’s my joy to present the Genesis award to Melissa, the player behind T’Ama. Congratulations!''</div>

|style="background:#C0C0C0; font-size: small" align=center colspan=2 class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"|Awarded to individuals who are renowned to offer that spark to a plot when it is lagging, or to consistently bring fun or a touch of humour to the sim, while keeping such sims current and realistic. They constantly raise their crew's morale in a variety of methods, including Out of Character.<div class="mw-collapsible-content"><br>''The winner of this award has shown that kind of humor and spark not only in character but also in Discord. They always find a way to bring a smile to people’s faces or make them laugh out loud. While their character is a bit of a trouble maker, the moments of levity thrown into even serious missions lighten up the mood without distracting from the plot. One example mentioned in the nominations was when she was mistaken for the Captain by the illustrious Sir Bolen, another is the antics of our favorite Crunchy Mom Evangeline Dodson. I couldn’t say it any better than this nomination. “T'Ama has been a spark that a ship needs when it comes to keeping a plot moving. Either as a player or running an MSNPC, she has been instrumental to the creation of a lot of interesting ideas in all our missions that she has participated in!” It is my absolute pleasure to present the Silver Palm to Melissa, the player behind T’Ama! Congratulations.''</div>

This includes assisting fellow officers in need of simming assistance, facilitating Out of Character discussions with the crew, maintaining wiki articles, and more.<div class="mw-collapsible-content"><br>''The person that stood out this year has been a thorn in my side…er…I mean, a wonderful person to mentor and talk to and it made me very happy that she not only was nominated for the award, but won it and I got the honor to award it.''

''Melissa took on the responsibilities of helping out the Constitution staff with updating wiki pages, engaging and communicating with everyone on our discord and even coming up with the Question of the Week that we have! She is responsible for bringing a lot of engagement among our crew and for that I am happy to present to her the Neelix Award! Great job, Melissa!..''</div>
