Medals

Introduction

From time to time, the RS awards honor to particular members for certain types of service, achievements, successes, etc. The honor is often in the form of medals. *ADD CONTENT HERE*

Beginnings

The first medals where developed in the collaborative effort of Greedo 96 and Super in 1997. These first medals formed the foundation of a new club wide system for rewarding the work of the RS membership. Some of the medals had no practical use at the time but where created for future use, such as the Violet Cluster. The evolution of the medal system continues to current times. Although all of the original medals are still in use, the whole medal system has vastly expanded and evolved well beyond the original set up, as each successive generation improves upon the previous.
