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 for completing missions that support them.
