Veritas Player Achievements are player achievements that can be earned by USS Veritas players for completing IC or OOC objectives and challenges.

Veritas Player Achievements are OOC accolades awarded by the Veritas command staff to players. They are also used to track progress towards promotion.

Achievements are self-reported by players themselves to the command staff. If a player believes they have earned an achievement, they should notify the Veritas command staff by email and include the link to the supporting sim or documentation. Veritas Player Achievements are tracked on a spreadsheet/leaderboard so that players can keep track of achievements they have earned.

Achievement Categories

Veritas Player Achievements are divided into four categories:

  • Tour of Duty Achievements
  • General Achievements
  • Duty Post Achievements
  • Character Interaction Achievements

Tour of Duty Achievements

For instance,
