As an Admiralty House event, TRMN members who staffed the event are eligible for the Havenite War Campaign Medal. By my authority as commanding officer, Eighth_Fleet; the following individuals are awarded said medal: (This award is a 1 per year award, so if the HWCM has been earned at another Admiralty House event in 2017, this award doesn't apply)

The following officers showed great leadership and exceptional service in order to make sure that the TRMN presence at StarFest worked well. Their actions reflected highly on BatCruDiv 865 and 8th Fleet as a whole, I, therefore, award them the Meritorious Service Medal:

Commander Benyamin Loyola, GSN
Ensign Mike Lythgoe

The Navy Commendation Decoration is awarded to the following individuals for their various services during the event.

Admiral of the Green Lord the Duke of Mountain View Bob Bulkeley
Chief Petty Officer Greg Fitzsimmons
Spacer 3/c Ellen Garrett

The Prisoner of War Medal is awarded to Spacer 3/c Ellen Garrett for pitching in and assisting the Klingons clean up their room party while "repp-ing" for TRMN.

Finally, for their esprit de corps through a difficult time, successfully putting on a productive convention appearance in the midst of significant internal turmoil, and the example of growth they are showing to 8th Fleet. As Commanding Officer 8th Fleet, I award Battle Cruiser Division 865 the Royal Meritorious Unit Citation for 8th Fleet. All members of HMS ''Enterprise'' and HMS ''Reliant'', as of August 1st 2017, are authorized to wear the Unit Citation award.

Given under my hand,

Sir J. Eddy Roberts, QCB, MC, KR, SC, CBM
Rear Admiral of the Red, RMN
Commanding Officer, 8th Fleet
