The rank system is currently only partially complete. Currently, the mapping between ranks is missing. However, the Imperium does not have cohesive ranks, and does not function as a macrosociety. Each Adeptus has it's own ranking structure, which may or may not interact with the ranking structure of another Adeptus.
I am not clear on what your issue with Status is.
Please provide what you would see 0-12 ranks as in a unified Imperium, and provide what advantage you would see over having a unified ranking system over having split ranks per Adeptus with mapping. Thank you.
EDIT TO YOUR EDIT: Please see last paragraph of post above yours for reference for las weapons. They quack like guns.
For reference: "As per the lasgun, it acts as a Gun because it, for all purposes, a Gun (with the slight exception of bullet drop); a person with Guns who picked up a lasgun would be able to use it with familiarity penalties, not as a default. Beam weapons is reserved for weaponry that has significant differences from Guns, such as the meltagun."
