'''Ranks''' are earned by successfully completing various activities in ''[[Elite Dangerous]]''. There are 6 different rank categories. These are overseen by the [[Pilots Federation]] which trains, licenses and monitors all independent pilots in the galaxy. The [[Federal Navy]] and [[Imperial Navy]] both offer ranks with benefits for completing missions.

== Pilots Federation Ranks ==
{{Main|Pilots Federation}}
The '''Pilots Federation''' ranks all pilots in the [[galaxy]] on a scale from Harmless (or its equivalent) to Elite V. A pilot's rank can be improved through [[Combat]], [[Trader|Trade]], [[Explorer|Exploration]], [[Mercenary]], [[exobiologist|Exobiology]], and [[CQC Championship|CQC]]. All players are licensed members of the Pilots Federation and earn progress towards ranks by completing activities related to each of the 6 categories. Higher ranks can award [[Livery|decals]], [[Suits|suit]] cosmetics, and [[Star system|system]] [[permits]]. Players who earn the rank of Elite in Combat, Trader, and Explorer attain the coveted status of "Triple Elite" and are awarded a unique decal.
