Newcomer / Intro Faction Ranks

I started out in Federation territory and have travelled to a system in the Alliance. Is there some pre-requisite before I can start trying to pick up naval progression missions in Alliance territories?
 
Unlike the Federation and Empire, the Alliance does not have a central structure or navy. It's what it says it is - an alliance of systems that don't want to join one of the big factions, but do want more security than total independence. In Elite lore the Alliance has formed up a navy on occasion, but it is temporary joint force, rather than a standing one.

Consequently, there are no formal Alliance "ranks". I guess in theory they could make it so you could gain rank with local Alliance factions, and the rank would be recognized by others.

Maybe the 1.3 upgrade will make some changes to this, but I don't think it's high on the "to do" list for FD.
