While a few of our members don't actively RP, we're an RP corp at heart an all our interactions and diplomacy are based around IC motivation.
We have quite a few medals, given the fact that the corp is styled to basically be a private, non legal defence contractor and black market arms supplier.
I could list them, all, but instead I'll just copypasta the relevant part of our corporate decorations thread on our forums :
Be aware that any member can nominate a fellow member of the corp for a decoration marked "CEO's Discretion" if they have just cause to do so, and I will be the judge of whether or not that member will recieve the decoration.

Our medals tend to get added over time, with more and more suggestions from members of the corp. They've also been backdated for the whole 5 years of our operation as a corp.
Ouite a few of them are threshold style medals for certain numerical achievements, but some are pretty special with a couple only being received by half a dozen or so members in 5 years.
The rarest of all is "The Soldier's Insignia" which in 5 and a half years has only been awarded to three people, one posthumously.
I think the best decoration we have though, is this one because of the story behind it :
As some will know, we lost one of our members out of game in August 2007 and it hit the corporation very hard. On the first anniversary of his passing, we created the above decoration and awarded it to him as a one off in his memory.
Sadly, we missed out one thing. The fact that a member has to set their decorations to be public, for anyone to be able to see them. The Corp was pretty devastated that no one could see the tribute, so I petitioned to the GM Team to see if they could make it visible.
After checking their policy, a member of the GM team logged into DarkElf's character, and set the Black Crown to be publicly viewable for us, so that it would show up to anyone who hits showinfo on him in game.
We were astonished that CCP would do this for us, it was an awesome gesture and it's one that myself and the rest of the corporation will never forget. It's also one of the main reasons that Veto Corp are the first to jump at the throat of people who try to tar CCP with the brush of a faceless corporation.
So, in early December 2008 we had one of our Icelandic members who's worked as head chef at some of Iceland's most luxurious and high class establishments bake an awesome chocolate cake.
I then put a
few words together, and he delivered the cake, topped with a Veto Corp logo along with the handwritten message and the signatures of all our core founding members and DarkElf's closest friends to CCP Headquarters in Reykjavik.
This post is the first time that this story has been shared outside of Veto Corp. It's a testament to the dedication that CCP has to its playerbase, a testament to how strong the bonds are between our members, it reinforces the fact that we're family, and no one in Eve will ever break us, and it proves that decorations are highly underrated in Eve, and are a huge part of what a corporation is to its members
