Union Ranks
Every legend starts with a single leap into the black.
Within the Spectral Freelancers Union, rank isn’t just a title — it’s a testament to your journey through the stars. The following ranks represent the progression of experience and contribution for all active members, from eager newcomers to seasoned operatives. These do not include leadership titles such as Founders or Union Council members, which are separate designations of organizational responsibility.
Master Voyager
The pinnacle of experience within the Union. Master Voyagers are veterans of countless missions, proven mentors, and strategic minds. Though not necessarily part of the leadership council, their insight is deeply respected, and they often help guide operations, mentor new recruits, and uphold Union traditions.
Elite Wayfarer
Highly experienced freelancers who’ve demonstrated outstanding skill across multiple disciplines. Elite Wayfarers are trusted team leads, operation specialists, and tactical assets in high-risk deployments. Their knowledge and adaptability make them cornerstones in any crew.
Adept Pathfinder
Experienced operatives with a solid track record in Union activities. Adept Pathfinders have honed their chosen field — whether combat, rescue, logistics, or beyond — and consistently support missions with competence and reliability.
Journeyman Explorer
Mid-level members who are actively growing their capabilities. Journeymen have contributed to Union operations, gained field experience, and begun establishing themselves as dependable crew. With further dedication, promotion is within close reach.
Apprentice Adventurer
Apprentices are early-career members who’ve shown initiative and promise. They may be completing training ops, shadowing higher-ranked members, or finding their niche within the Union’s divisions. The adventure is just beginning.
Novice Recruit
All great journeys begin here. Novice Recruits are new to the Union, getting their bearings, meeting the crew, and learning how we operate. With time, engagement, and a little grit, they’ll find their path among the stars.
Promotions are earned through activity, contribution, collaboration, and time-in-role — not politics. Union Council and division leads periodically review member progress and recognize those who rise to the occasion.

Unity. Purpose. Progress.
We don’t just fly. We forge our future.
