Abstract
Suppose that is a finite, transitive, solvable permutation group acting on a set with elements. Let be the stabilizer of a point . Define the rank of a permutation group, denoted as the number of distinct orbits of in (including the trivial orbit ). Huppert \cite{Huppert} and Foulser \cite{Foulser} classified all finite, solvable, permutation groups of rank two and three respectively, and Foulser restricted the rank four groups to a small list of possibilities. This paper completes the classification of all groups of rank less than by explicitly confirming these past results and computationally constructing the groups of rank .
