Awards and Medals
This article is part of the series: Emperor's Hammer Manual |
The Emperor's Hammer has a multitude of medals and awards to recognize member activity and performance. These awards are divided into four basic groupings: Merit Awards, Service Awards, Commendations, and Campaign/Battle Medals. Awards within these groupings may be established directly by the Emperor's Hammer at the Fleet level (i.e., are authorized for award to any Emperor's Hammer member) or by a specific subgroup for award to its members.
- Merit Awards recognize distinguished service to the Emperor's Hammer and performance above and beyond the call of duty.
- Service Awards recognize noteworthy achievement within specific categories. Service Awards are further subdivided into the following groups: Emperor's Hammer Service Medals, competition awards, combat awards, and miscellaneous awards.
- Commendations generally recognize the completion of fixed objectives, as well as meritorious service.
- Campaign and Battle Medals recognize participation in named Emperor's Hammer campaigns or completion of single-player battles.
Except for certain special awards, all award recommendations are created through the web site's award recommendation system. Award recommendations are then reviewed and approved by an authorized Command Staff Officer or Subgroup Command Staff Officer. Refer to the individual award articles and/or the Medal Permissions Report to view recommendation and approval authorities for each award.
