Right now the Battle rank cap is set at 21. The maximum cert points is something like 23 or 24.

When you log on to a server you need to select an empire and then you can create up to 4 characters on that server. If you decide to switch empires on that server, then you simply delete all characters on that server and start over.

You can log onto multiple servers, however. This allows you to play all three empires at the same time if you choose to.
