Vaughan Outstanding Contribution Award

Awarded to players who make outstanding continued contributions outside of missions.
These could include assisting the commanding officer with important tasks or temporarily taking on command officer responsibilities.
The Contribution Award must be earned before this award.

Nira was instrumental in the launch of the Solaere SIMM, logging many hours creating deck layout and background information. As first officer of Challenger, Nira was creative and heavily engaged in mission planning and execution, I know it would have been a heavy burden if I couldn't count on Nira's support and assistance.
