The Science Award is a military award of the Star Army of Yamatai.

The Science Award were proposed in YE 44 by Star Army Research Administration Director Iemochi Feyani to replace SARA's “Innovation Awards. In the same year, it became an official Award. Three of the original four “Innovation Awards” were translated over as valid reasons to give a citation for the Science Award.

The requirements to receive this awards are:

• Must be a member of the Star Army of Yamatai
• Invent a technology that was later officially adopted by the Star Army of Yamatai, or,
• Prototype a technology that was later officially adopted by the Star Army of Yamatai, or,
• Field test a technology that was later officially adopted by the Star Army of Yamatai, or,
• Complete a successful first contact mission (you must have personally interfaced with the aliens), or,
• Complete a dissection or examination of a previously undiscovered or unexamined species, or,
• Make a significant scientific discovery that SARA confirms as such

You can only receive one citation for each adopted technology, i.e. you don't receive multiple citations for inventing and then prototyping the same technology.

The award is issued by:

• Star Army Research Administration
• Star Army Personnel Command

The award is a umber-brown ribbon with golden stripes on both ends.

It is worn on the Type 35 Class A formal uniform.
