This means become neutral with the "Red Devil Cartel". There doesn't seem to be any way to increase reputation with the other pirate factions (Greel, Double Jacks, Korians, Murath etc.).
The stations that are aligned with the "Outsiders" (the green, swirly icon on the map) are the ones that often have missions for increasing Cartel reputation.
If you are going for this and Milita reputation, be aware that these two reputations are linked and react to one another when you cross a threshold in one bar.
For example, I had Militia maxed (the indicator was in the far right of the blue bar) when I got neutral with the Cartel. After that, the Milita reputation took a huge hit and went back to the middle of the blue bar.
Same with the Cartel when reaching friendly with Militia, I guess there is a 400-500 reputation penalty when you are working for the "enemy".
You can also get this at the very beginning of the game apparently. In the first system, there is a story mission that will lead to a dialogue with an enemy captain. During that conversation you will have the opportunity to betray the Militia and join up with the Cartel.
Your rep with the Milita will, of course, take a nose dive after that which will make the "The Brass" achievement more time consuming. One way or the other, grinding out some missions for reputations will be required.

Unfortunately the mission you have suggested makes no difference as it was for a different pirate faction. I have just done this and I can confirm the rep never changes for the red devil cartel.
Best thing you can do is pirate missions from the start of the game preferably after you have upgraded all weapons and shields to level 2.
Will take somewhere between 10 - 15 cartel missions.

This must be done by picking up Red Devil missions at stations. The story mission talked about in the solution affects a different pirate faction.
Try and do this ASAP in the 1st system before your rating takes too much of a hit from fighting random Red Devil ships. Each capital ship you destroy drops your reputation by at least 1.

This only requires being neutral with the Red Devils faction. Go around to Outsider stations and pick up Red Devil missions and do those until you are neutral with them. These missions will generally require you to do something to negatively affect your standing with the militia so sprinkle militia missions in there being careful not to take missions where you fight Red Devils. This takes a lot longer than it seems. Gaining rep is a very slow process and there is no way to gain Red Devil rep besides doing their missions. I sat on the border between Red and Grey for probably 20 missions before this popped.

If you intend to play normally then you will be fighting a lot of pirates. Even though there are 3 pirate factions in the game, it's going to be tricky to maintain a good reputation with them unless you're a pirate yourself. For this trophy, you need to be neutral to just one of the factions, not all 3. I recommend doing missions for the Red Devils right in the 1st system and keep doing it until this trophy pops, then moving on with the story. Doing missions for the Red Devils will usually involve hurting Citizenry or Militia reputation but it's ok since you can repair your reputation with them later on.

It is much easier to get this trophy at the beginning of the game.
When you click on the triangle in the menu on the right, relationship scales with different factions are displayed. To receive this trophy, you must become neutral (middle part of the scale) with any one pirate group. The easiest way to do this is at the very beginning of the game with Red Devil. To increase your status, you must complete missions for this group. In the description of some missions it is written that the reputation will change after completion. Missions that increase reputation with pirates will lower reputation with other pirates, militia or civilians. You need to find a neutral station where they give missions that increase your reputation with pirates (these are given only at some stations, such as Oursiders).
Reputation increases quite slowly, so if up to this point you attack pirate ships of this faction a lot or carry out missions for the militia, your reputation may drop significantly, and the process will take a very long time. If your game is already very much in progress and your relationship with the pirates is at "0", it makes sense to start a new separate game for this trophy.
I will also add that raising the status from hostile to neutral drops relations with the militia to hostile (and, accordingly, vice versa). So there is no point in upgrading your reputation for two factions; this can only be done in turns.
The point of view of early increase in status with pirates is also supported by the fact that only at their station you can buy a very interesting entry-class ship, Hellion. With a starting price of 66,000 it has very good characteristics.

to increase your reputation with pirates at the beginning of the game we fly to stations where the government is BANDITS, there will be quests like fly there then, kill the militias there, their reputation grows quickly, the quests are simple, shoot down 3 fighters, sometimes they give you a smuggling quest, there more difficult, there is simply no point in fighting a destroyer at the beginning of the game) we quickly fly to the station and just like that, in 2 hours (and count the initial quests) I quite cheerfully raised my reputation to neutral (by the way, if suddenly there is no quest for the devils -it’s not scary - we take 4 tasks, immediately cancel them, fly out of the station, immediately dock and voila - quests, but different ones, in place)... it took me about 20 quests for the devils to get a neutral attitude.

"Where is the government BANDITS"
I never came across this in the initial system, but what the system does have is “bandit affiliation”
Incl. fly to the station where the affiliation is indicated - bandits and you can take tasks to level up the red devils (the most loyal faction of pirates at the very beginning of the game)
