OK, yes, the Rebel missions are where you get the (awesome) cloak.
Rebel ships and outfits can also be acquired by doing the Confed missions.
The southern pirate system is where you get the ID, I don't think Pirate's Cove (the one four jumps west of Atropos, which is west of Darven) has it.
Let's see, Rebel Cruisers are much better than Kestrels, but Confed Cruisers are very good, too.
A "Criminal" rating isn't literal, it might just mean that you are an escaped criminal. But it's just bad, that's all.
Sorry if I'm dumbing everything down, I'm just trying to be helpful!
