2021 awards Day One: General Awards

[Addison MacKenzie]

Welcome to Day One of the annual Awards Ceremony! We’re very excited to present the General Awards today.

Each captain has presented the General (Ship) Awards to their crew. The fleet’s commanding officers choose the winners, (or where the commanding officer was also nominated, we called the first officer in to decide) from the nominations made by you! This is your chance to see how each of the other ships did and see who picked up what award.

The Order of Starfleet Merit and Achievement First Class (TOSMA)

The Order of Starfleet Merit and Achievement First Class is given to members who show great dedication in their behavior and simming abilities.
