By participating in Preparation, Expansion, and Control efforts of your Power, you gain merits. Merits are needed to unlock Ratings. They get progressively harder to obtain, with the final rating requiring 10,000 merits. Merits are also carried over from prior weeks, rewarding active participation, and preventing pilots from obtaining the last Rating and then not longer bother with [[Powerplay]].
