		Sim: DeForest Kelley Humour Award This award is meant to help us all remember that a bit of light-heartedness goes a long way; even in the face of danger.

This award can be given to any player in Obsidian Fleet.		Details

Details
		Sim: Outstanding Volunteer Award For the player who makes every effort to find significant ways to lend a hand to the simm's command staff.

		Legacy: Antagonist Award This award denotes a player's exceptionally well crafted villain who has contributed to a simm's plot line convincingly over a series of posts.

		Legacy: Scheherezade Award Named after the mythical heroine of the Arabian Nights, the Scheherezade awards the intricate story-crafting which is displayed within Obsidian Fleet. This goes beyond simple matters of spelling, grammar, and legibility; rather, it is for the obvious effort put into posts to make them enjoyable to read for all members of a platform and not just as enjoyment for the writers who created them – for telling a tale within a tale as they weave their own story within the greater plot of their simm. This award is an extension of the Level 1 Library Excellence Ribbon: the Scheherezade is awarded for use of excellent language for artistic purposes and not just for the sake of making language more complex. It focuses more on the intent, but also on the successful writing of supreme quality posts.		Details
		Legacy: Tactical Superiority Award Presented to individuals who play a major role (or even solely) develop new tactics and/or combat manuevers while in ship-to-ship combat; not to be confused with the hand-to-hand award, which is similar.
