It should be issued to characters who performed acts of bravery which protected their fellow officers and crew (or even civilians) during a conflict. It is simple enough for most people to be brave when nothing is holding them back, so I would reserve this medal for those who overcome a difficulty. An officer who directed his men despite being gravely injured. A crewman who placed himself in the line of fire to rescue others. An Engineer who entered a radioactive environment to repair a system vital to ship survival during an enemy attack

Awards people who develop new tactics and/or maneuvers which were highly successful. Picard received the award when he invented the Picard Maneuver which enabled him to defeat a dangerous Ferengi Marauder.

He led a task force of five Federation starships in a Blossoming Flower dual pincer maneuver that defeated ten Romulan vessels.

Issued to officers who discover an amazing new place or thing, be it an unusual planet, archaeological ruin, nebula, or other thing which has heretofore unknown properties. Gan Laikan was a famous Centurion explorer. He discovered more Class M planets in the 23rd century than any other starship, including the Enterprise.

A medal issued to people who developed useful new technologies, techniques, etc. Gnarr was Tellar's most famous Engineer, helping to design Horizon class starships which were the basis for many later ship designs. Innovation in technology or propulsion could qualify for this award

This medal recognizes the sacrifice that Star Fleet members make while defending the Federation and it’s principles. It is awarded to players that cannot perform assigned duties during their recovery from wounds sustained in combat with the enemy or to those who are confined for extended periods by an enemy force.

Issued to Doctors who come up with a cure to a disease or medical ailment. Sharas Vetra was an Andorian Doctor who cured the Orion Plagues which threatened millions of lives near the Orion border.

A special Award that should be given only rarely and to individuals whose actions may have single handedly preserved the Federation. In 2351, Admiral Taneko, a Bolian, sacrificed his life by single handedly flying his damaged ship into the midst of Tholian forces. When his warp core blew, it took several Tholian ships with it. That preserved a Federation victory at the Mizar Incident. Dying is optional, but this is the kind of thing a Star Cross is good for.

A medal awarded to a person who aided or was largely responsible for negotiating a peace settlement between warring factions. Starfleet awards peacemakers as much as they do warriors

Awarded for exemplary Service to the Empire. (For Klingons only)
