Long Service Medal

[Quint]

Quint, I meant to ask earlier, do you have some system of awards for character generation? I was wondering what it takes to earn all those awards. Did you by chance get around to drawing them up?

Nah, I just had sub-table for each class of decoration, so if you rolled an MCUF then you rolled on the Basic Commendation table; an MCG, on the Conspicuous Commendation table; and an SEH got you a roll on the Distinguished table. If you weren't on a combat assignment there was no chance for those decorations, and some were obviously branch-specific.

I wish I had the artistic chops to draw them up, but that's not part of my skillset.

The table below published online with some enhancement to the footnotes here.

I've tweaked the T5 table for medals (since it skewed heavily to higher prestige decorations), with different award names for my domain-sized Realm Imperium "pocket empire."
