There are several requirements for promoting one's status within the Empire.
The simplest method is through donation!
Donating to the Imperial Red Cross, a donation of a hundred million Tianhe Coins can grant one the status of citizen, while a donation of a billion Tianhe Coins can grant one the status of a knight.
However, donations can only advance one's status up to the rank of knight. Ranks higher than baron can't be attained purely through donations.
Beyond donations, one can make contributions in a particular field, such as pharmacist, star shift master, adventurer, etc. For instance, if an adventurer discovers a civilized planet or resource-rich planet and reports it to the Empire, they can ascend to a higher rank when their merit accumulation reaches a certain level.
Another way is to compete in the Dimensional Battle Arena.
The Dimensional Battle Arena is a widely popular institution within the Empire that has existed for countless years.
