Say you have a beef with Steel Song and you are friendly with Cadar (I mean, who isn't friendly with Cadar). Now hopefully Cadar and Steel Song enter into a trade alliance, AND some Cadar planet has a shortage of the good stuff (Artifacts, Electronics, or Weapons). You go to that planet with all you can carry of that shortage-item, and sell.
Your RP with Steel Song won't go to zero, but it'll go up a heck of a lot all the same. You'll have to fly like a kajillion spice hall contracts in order to make that much RP (okay, probably not a kajillion - more like a bazillion or so).

Getting back from a negative rep that bad will be very long, and not easy either.
If it was me, I'd just make a new captain. Mine die like mayflies anyway.

Kill everyone in the Steel Song Clan and start your own clan called Steel Song Clan...
Really, the trade alliance is your only hope of digging out of a hole like that. Cache illegal goods and records like mad until you get the right trade alliance and then sell/buy/sell as much as you can. In the meantime, stay out of hostile space as much as possible so you don't have as many encounters with their ships and dig yourself deeper in trouble.
Also, it might behoove you to sell your ship, and buy a new one....repeatedly. I don't know how much negative rank you can knock off this way, but you might be able to wipe your traitorous stink off on a series of cheap shuttles.

oldalchemist: I thought changing ships didn't help your rep, just cleared your criminal status vis a vis Shalun Law.
I'd love to be wrong, just haven't tested it sufficiently to prove to myself that I'm right (or wrong). May I assume you've tested it more thoroughly than me?

I'm a ship monogamist. I thought you got a small rep change.
I have been wrong before and I assure you that I will be wrong again.
On this, I know that I am right.

In the old rumor thingies, you get the following rumor:
"Purchasing a new ship will usually lower your criminal status and clear your outstanding warrants."
In reality though, it's just a pitch from a slightly bald-headed used starship salesman. You know - along with the "Yeah, you get great W-F mileage with this beauty .... Those aren't torp impact craters - they're custom air intakes ... Those scorched bodies in the crews quarters mean that you won't need to carry so many luxury rations".

When you bail out in the shuttle, they assume you're dead and some of those warrants and contracts get shuffled out with the paperwork. Parking tickets and minor embargo infractions probably don't get back onto your record if they have to do a paperwork reanimation.
