Merit Arrangement; Reference

Updated: 03/08/08

----------------------------------Extend to this length------------------------------------->

The currently available standardized awards are listed below, in order of prestige.

1) (The Imperator's Star) - Awared for paramount sacrifice and selflessness toward the group. Holders of the Star are admitted to all equipment, regardless of cross-branch restrictions. Awarded at the discretion of the Imperator.

2) (Merit of Honor) - Earned by the most respectful and diligent within the group. The Merit of Honor is a badge of loyalty, given to those whom abide and live through the guidelines of the organization. Awarded at the discretion of the Legionary Council.

3) (Ordo Achievement Merit) - Provided to those whom have accomplished a general feat worth noting within the Ordo Imperialis-- whether that is longevity of service without conduct concerns, dedicating one's self to guard duty, etc. Primarily designed as a commendation to catch-all worthy circumstances.

4) (Architect of Eternity Merit) - The second of the series of merits awarded to individuals responsible for providing contributions to the Ordo Imperialis in the way of material development. Consider to be higher in prestige to the Architect of Unity, as one must have the AoU to achieve the AoE.

5) (Architect of Unity) - An award specifically designed for the building staff of Ordo Imperialis. It is given to those whom have dedicated their repeated time and efforts toward constructing the all too important materials for the group.

6) (Praetorian Service Merit) - An award reserved for those whom serve or have served among the Praetorian Guard.

7) (Administratio Qualification Merit) - For individuals whom have reached the Administratio denotation within the Ordo Imperialis, recognizing their ascension into the class of administration.

8) (Alpha Contubernium Merit) - An award for those whom have been honored as members of a legion's primary contubernium.

9) (Ace Pilot) - The flight badge distinguishing a pilot as an Ace within the Astra, based off of their ability to perform in aerial combat. Awarded at the discretion of the Legionary Council.

10) (Battle Prowess MK2) - A merit available to individuals whom have already received the "Battle Prowess" denotation, but continue to perform above standards on the field of combat.

11) (Battle Prowess) - A merit earned by those on the ground whom have shown their talents on the battlefield. Awarded at the disrection of the Legionary Council.

12) (Marksmen Merit) - Whether it is with a pistol, a rifle, or a 20mm Gatling . . . this award is allotted to those whom just can't help but hit a target.

13) (Mechanized Qualification Merit) - An award provided to those whom are able to pilot the mechanized portions of the Ordo Imperialis, such as the Punisher.

14) (Instructor Merit) - Awarded to individuals within the organization whom have served with the Schola as an instructor for at least a month.

15) (Recruitment Merit) - A badge given to those whom have showed their prowess as a recruiter of quality members for the Ordo Imperialis.

16) (Comrade Support Merit) - Awarded to individuals whom have upheld the allies of the Ordo Imperialis on and off the field of combat.

17) (Prior Service Merit) - A limited award earned by individuals who served within organizations leading up to the Ordo Imperialis, such as the NOI, the VC, and the AN2.

18) (Basic Training Merit) - Provided to all individuals whom complete Schola instruction, denoting their induction into the Ordo Imperialis proper.

I know there are a bunch, but some of these seem a bit strange. I mean, how can I have Black November AND basic training? I dunno about you, but I skipped that. I am also a touch confuzzled about my comrade support. I gear up for combat as fast as anyone else, but I don't recall any time I "Supported my comrades" any further than showing up and shooting in the same direction.
