=== Simulated ===
In 2367, while exploring a cavern on Alpha Onias III, Commander William T. Riker was rendered unconscious by gases. While unconscious, neural scanners scanned Riker's brain. The scanners used elements of Riker's reality and constructed a holodeck simulation with those elements interspersed throughout, so that it felt real to him. What Riker wanted, the scanners made possible.
In one of these simulations, on stardate 46179, Commander Riker was awarded the Grankite Order of Tactics (Class of Excellence) for his role in the Zavolta Planetary Geosciences Survey Expedition. In 2383, this was mentioned in Riker's service record that was on display in his quarters on the Enterprise-D. (, okudagram)

=== Background information===
In the final draft script of "Court Martial", the name of this award was rendered "Grankite order of tactics", though the revised final draft of the script changed this to "Grankite order of tactic", which is also how the name is pronounced (by computer voice) in the episode itself. However, both the service record from "Future Imperfect" and the Picard family album pluralize the final word in the name.
Reference to the Grankite Order of Tactics was added to Riker's simulated service record in the remastered version of "Future Imperfect".

It described being in "recognition of his development of the Picard Maneuver during the 'Battle of Maxia' while in command of the USS Stargazer." ()
