Being allied with the empire is meaningless.  As a result, trade and bounty hunting and warzone combat is meaningless, as far as I can tell.  I've found that if you just spam 0-reward missions for empire aligned factions, you should get advancement missions relatively quickly.  Got 4 ranks in Empire today doing that.  And I've been playing for months and got Allied months ago, with no advancement missions until I started doing missions (I'd just been doing combat, my own trade/smuggling, or exploration without taking any missions before now).
