Significant Awards

Medal of Honor

Awarded by GA Ronin back in 2001 for his long tenure as Security Officer of the Emperor's Hammer... At almost 2 years it still stands as the longest time anyone has held the position.

Order of the Renegade

The Order of the Renegade (OoR) is presented to Grand Admiral Rapier on August 25, 2021, in recognition of the milestone of him becoming the longest serving Fleet Commander of the Emperor’s Hammer. This is a momentous occasion worth celebrating. His exceptional dedication, service, and loyalty to the fleet, spanning a career of 24 years to date, demonstrate commendable commitment that other members should seek to emulate.

It is without hyperbole that the Emperor’s Hammer would not still be operating today without the efforts of Grand Admiral Rapier. He has made hard calls throughout his career to reduce the size of the fleet, including pruning the branches of the diminished groups, to ensure the core of the Emperor’s Hammer remained healthy and viable. These decisions resulted in a stable core organization that was prepared for new opportunities for fleet involvement as they emerged.

In recent months, he has overseen the resurgence of the fleet with the release of Star Wars: Squadrons and the emerging TIE Fighter Total Conversion. His guidance and insights with the Group Commanders, High Admiral Plif and Grand Master Montte, have enabled innovation within the Emperor’s Hammer TIE Corps and Emperor’s Hammer Dark Brotherhood. This has included enabling new competitions and structuring to take root within the TIE Corps and establishing a foundation for the design and development of a path for the future of the Dark Brotherhood.

Grand Admiral Rapier’s performance of duty and commitment to the organization is exceptional and reflects great credit upon himself and the Emperor’s Hammer.

Moreso, I’ve known Grand Admiral Rapier for the entirety of his career within the Emperor’s Hammer. We’ve shared many conversations through the years regarding his career, the fleet, gaming, socializing in the fleet, and our personal lives. Never once has he spoken about himself, such as advancing his career, getting promoted, seeking an award. First and last he speaks about the experience of everyone else. Are they having fun? How will they enjoy an activity? What can we do to improve their time?

He’s often told me his goal is to be the last one out of the room, turning the lights off, when it’s time to say goodbye. I don’t expect he’ll ever say goodbye.

Imperial Cross
This medal is awarded to SA Rapier for his stalwart dedication, loyalty and devotion to the Emperor's Hammer throughout the past year. He is one of the longest tenured members of the club and as his time as XO has performed above and beyond what was expected. Without him the EH would not have been as quick to turn around as it did and without his oversight I would have had a more difficult time organizing the club.
