You can visit anywere when you start out, at first you don't belong to any faction, and you can stay that way. Technically you can't join a faction at the moment unless fighting in a warzone (you choose which faction you are going to assist). You can upgrade your relationships with factions while at the same time lower others. I'm hostile with the Federation but neutral with the other two factions. But I can still trade in Fed territory etc, but get a little ancy when if I fire my weapons near any security service. To trade in Sol you need a permit (like anyother capital), with that faction, basically get on their good side, this isn't an issue with Alpha/Beta backers and kickstarter backers, we automatically get one, but to get in any other factions capital solar system we need to grind it out for a permit. So technically you can go anywhere as long as you stay on good terms with all the factions at once. But that's no fun 
Here is a quick run down of the factions for a nice little read and some backstory if you are new
Earth/Sol is Federation territory and a big chunk around it. The Feds basically the original human faction when we decided to spread our wings into the galaxy, basic Earth like faction, run by corporations and oppress it's citizens finacially, but at the same time preach freedom and democracy. They are also authoritarian. Capital - Sol
The Empire are the Federation rivals, they started off as a colony that wanted to escape the oppression and greed of the Federation corporations and power holders, they formed a successful colony on the fringe of Fed space and declared indipendance. They flourished. Eventually they morthed into what is now known as the Empire and quickly rose to the challenge of the Federation. This off course led to war that neither side truly won. The Empire believe in honour above all things and will die for their Emporer/Empress. They don't rely on technology as much as the Federation (building drones etc), and employ the use of slaves, those who would halt the progression of the Empire or those who actually sell themselves into slavery due to debt. They are also totalitarian. Capital - Achenar
The Alliance were born due to the constant meddling of both the Empire and Federation in indipendant systems. Technically the Alliance is like the European union, smaller states that tie with one another to make a bigger state, but at the same time remain individually indipendant. They believe in freedom and democracy and share a combined military. They don't conform to the ideals of the Empire nor Federation they lie in the middle kind of. Captial - Alioth I guess?
My opinion, the Empire is the most interesting
