Transparent show cases

One of the traditions on board the USS Devastator and the Academy Ships is to promote a constant sense of competition between the various Midshipmen Teams.

In the third month after the start of the training period, a Transparent display case is installed next to the dorm doors so that the accomplishments of the team - both in training and in off duty competitions could be displayed for bragging rights.

While it's not mandatory for symbols of the team member's accomplishments be placed into the case, most teams have room to place all of them inside and do so.

Occasionally a team will try to insert something to another team's case as a joke in memory of an incident that occurred during training.
