Powerplay Ranks

Rise through the ranks of Powerplay, support your chosen leader, and unlock powerful modules along the way.

What Powerplay Is

Overview

Powerplay is a weekly territorial war running in parallel with everything else you fly. You pledge to one of twelve Powers and earn merits by flying the loop you already fly — combat, trade, mining, exploration — inside the right systems. Merits never decay in Powerplay 2.0. Every Power eventually grants the same twelve exclusive modules; you are choosing the permanent perk and the ethos bonus that match how you actually play.

Powers are not superpowers. Federation, Empire, and Alliance navy rank is a separate ladder — permits and hulls. Pledging to a Federation Power does not raise Federal Navy rank, and it does not block Imperial rank grind.

Rank-100 perks are active inside that Power's controlled systems. Ethos is the activity that pays the +50% merit bonus. Compact view shows the identity rail — open a Power for ethos, perks, and the exclusive module order.
