Notes: There will be more added to this based on input from the players, and some ideas I have. This is to get the concept in place.
Giving an award for peaceful first contact is like giving someone an award for not screwing up, though. "Oh, hey, you didn't fuck it up! Here's a medal to commemorate the occasion!"
True Aendri, which is why there is not a crest for a succesful first contact. After all a sucessful first contact has enoungh distinction for the parties involved.
My comment to Wes was stating that some of the crests can be awarded to aliens.
Hey, first contacts going peaceful is not easy! Hanako made peaceful first contact with several species such as the Ixari and Azoreans, but she also had violence break out meeting the Crystalloids (attacked us) and the Rixxikor (attacked us). Also some level of conflict shenanigans went on with the Lorath (Rufus shot one) and the Essai (they tried to drug/enslave us for our dreams).
