The group was later changed to the Black Star Army after reaching a sizeable membership.

## Ranking

Members in the group can be differentiated by their rank which is determined by three factors: Credibility Score, Faction Relation and Total Contribution to the group. Credibility score is taken from the Mercenary Alliance and a record of the mercenaries past missions. Faction Relation is given by the faction after completing missions for the group and other rewards for random events. Total contribution is a cumulation of the member's total contribution and be exchanged in the reward page

There are a total of 5 ranks within the group: 1-star (Lowest), 2-star, 3-star, 4-star, 5-star. For the top eighteen members of the group's leaderboard, they are known as the Black Star 18 Riders. All members start as a 1-star member and slowly rise the ranks by being active and involved in the group's missions and activities. In order to become a 2-star member, one must reached the Friendly status with the faction (at least 1,000 relation points) and contributed at least 1,000 points in missions and activities.
