Recommended to Do Last

It's best to do the Crimson Fleet questline last once you're done doing the Main Quests as well as completed side quests that include the Crimson Fleet as enemies.

Once you join the Crimson Fleet, all Crimson Fleet pirates will become friendly and can cause quest bugs and block progress where you need to take them out. While it's possible to take them out stealthily, taking out Crimson Fleet spaceships will incur an expensive bounty with the Crimson Fleet that you'll need to pay.

Found in The Key

The Crimson Fleet faction and their base can be found in The Key under the Kryx System.

Crimson Fleet or UC SysDef Choice and Timing

During the Eye of the Storm Mission, Bring Kryx's Legacy to UC Vigilance or The Key

At the end of Eye of the Storm, the second to last mission in the Crimson Fleet questline, you'll decide finally whether you want to side with the Crimson Fleet or UC SysDef.

None of the preceding choices in the questline have any effect on which faction you will side with, and the game gives plenty of warning that the result of the choice is final, so you don't have to worry about accidentally taking a side unintentionally.

The rewards don't vary significantly whichever action you take, and you'll receive 250,000 Credits whichever path you choose, so for the most part, it's ok to side with whichever faction you feel best suits your character's personality.
