Awards & Medals



The Hammer's Fist, Like any other military organization, needs to reward members for outstanding performance. Promotion is not always a practical method of doing so, so to that end the Fist has developed over time a series of medals designed to reward outstanding service, bravery, and exemplary behavior. Please note that the Prefect has the right to bestow any and all awards he feels necessary, as well as to review and revoke awards he feels are superflous..
