Ranks a player can achieve in the Imperial and Rebel factions. The higher your rank, the better, rarer, and more interesting your loot will be from enemy faction NPCs (ie stormtroopers). To get a promotion, you must spend the required faction points. To show your faction rank in front of your avatar's name, go to the Character tab in the Communities window (P or Ctrl-P), and click on the box that reads "Show Faction Rank."

Note: Once you reach the rank of Warrant Officer II, the patrols for your own faction no longer conduct Contraband Searches on you.
Revision: Post NGE, players are reporting having been stopped for Contraband Searches regardless of their rank. The faction loss for leaving the search is negligable.
