Ranks and Scoring

In the Galactic Civil War, you can earn faction points and gain new ranks through a variety of activities. Fighting both NPC enemies and player enemies will earn you GCW points that will be applied weekly to determine your current rank.

Each new rank will grant you access to higher-level rewards from your faction recruiter.

Additional Intel: Ranks
  • A Galactic Civil War page has been added to the character sheet for all players.
  • You can view another player's GCW character sheet. To do this:
    • Target another player.
    • Call up the radial menu while you have them targeted.
    • Select the option to see their GCW information.

GCW Rank Advancement

  • You can earn GCW points by engaging in a variety of factioned combat against both NPC and player enemies.
  • Each Thursday at 12PM PDT , your GCW points will be tallied to determine your current GCW rank.

Officer Ranks and Decay

  • Officers are on active duty and active participation in the war is a must! Because commissioned Officers are on active duty, Officer Ranks* 7 and above decay over time. As a result, a percentage of your GCW ranking points will be lost each week.

    * Players holding the Rank of Officer, not the profession Officer.
  • No more than 40% of your current rank will decay in a single week.
  • As rank decays, an officer will need to earn enough GCW points to overcome the amount of rank that has decayed each week.


Earning GCW Points

You can earn points by fighting on the front lines of battle in the Galactic Civil War. Here are the places and ways you can earn GCW points:

  • The Restuss GCW battlefield.
  • By destroying player GCW bases.
  • By killing Rebel and Imperial NPCs (details listed below).
  • By killing Rebel and Imperial factioned players (PvP).
  • By killing Rebel and Imperial NPC pilots in Space.
  • By killing player pilots in Space (PvP).
