====== IMPERIAL HONOURS SYSTEM ======

The Earth imperium has a complex system of honours and awards to recognise the contribution of its citizens and armed forces to the peace, security and wellbeing of the Empire.

This recognition comes in the form of a system of medals, permitting the recipient to carry certain letters after their names.  These are highly respected by all.

In practice, the awards are made on a regional basis (the time lag for all awards to be administered from Sol System being far too great).  Quadrant Governors have delegated powers for some awards, as have planetary Governors.

Note that the 'nobility' titles are not hereditary.  Interestingly, though, the sons and daughters of 'nobles' often gain recognition to noble rank in their own right.
