The following awards are patterned off the Awards and Honors in the Only War rulebook. While Rogue Trader PCs may receive an award or honor, the Squad Bonuses listed apply only to Only War characters.

Imperial Awards

Medals and awards received from the Imperium are among the most highly desired rewards that can be received by Imperial citizens. Receiving such an reward bestows a measure of prestige for one's service that is recognized and lauded throughout the Imperium.

None received so far.

Campaign Awards

Campaign awards are among the most common types of awards and may be issued by House Drake, or received by House Drake forces from outside. They denote service involving outside friendly parties. Due to their scope, Fellowship bonuses received tend to be more localized to the region of the conflict, or those regions affected by it.

Svard Liberation Campaign Medal

  • Description: A simple circular medal of iron with 'Against the God-Emperor's Enemies' stamped on the obverse, with 'Liberation of Svard' stamped on the reverse
  • Awarded for: Service on board House Drake fleets during the campaign to liberate Svard from the Whisperer's attacks
  • Squad Bonus: +5 to Resist (Psychic Attacks) checks
  • Notes: Awarded only to militants serving on board the Aurea Albion or the Penance of Iocanthos, being the only ships of House Drake at the time. House Drake may also choose award this to Imperial Navy personnel serving aboard the Hand of Redemption due to its assistance. (This has not yet occurred though.)

Drake Crusade Laurels

Drusian Laurels, and its variants, are awarded for defending high-ranking members of the Ecclesiarchy of the Calixis Sector or the Koronus Expanse, or protecting valuable property or venerated shrines or artefacts of St. Drusus

  • Description: A vertical bar with a skeletal hand holding a chainsword, surmounted with a skull.
  • Awarded for: Participation in the Drake Crusade on Damaris, defending the Ecclesiarchy and St. Drusus' Shrine
  • Squad Bonus: +10 to Fellowship Tests with agents of the Ecclesiarchy of the Calixis Sector and the Koronus Expanse
  • Notes: Awarded to surviving Crusaders as well as any units whose leaders make a point of their involvement in the Crusade to the Cardinal of Footfall. All forces of House Drake were awarded this medal by the Footfall Ecclesiarchy due to its leadership in the Crusade.

Damaris Order of Merit

This award was created after the Drake Crusade to recognize non-Damaris forces who took a role in defending it against an Ork Waaagh.

  • Description: A cross with laurel leaves visible between them capped with an Aquila. In the center of the cross is an etching of the planet Damaris
  • Awarded for: An action performed in an outstanding manner that brings great benefit or honor to the armed forces or to the colony of Damaris
  • Squad Bonus: +10 to Fellowship Tests with Damaris officials

Periphery War Service Award

  • Description: A bronze chevron-shaped medal, point upwards, inscribed with 'Death to the Traitors of House Severan'
  • Awarded for: Service during House Drake's campaigns in the Periphery sub-sector, whether through the various raised regiments or in the fleet
  • Squad Bonus: +10 to Fellowship Tests with pro-Imperium forces fighting in the Periphery Sub-Sector
  • Notes: This award is issued by House Drake to all forces raised to promote House Drake's interests, as well as the Imperium's, while serving under Lord Drake's banner.

Regimental Awards

These awards and honors are bestowed by House Drake onto its own forces for their service during the various campaigns on which House Drake embarks. They remind the crew of its successes and triumphs over adversity, particularly in the Koronus Sector.
