UC Vanguard and Freestar Rangers questlines question

I've been getting diverted on sidequests, capturing ships, and exploration too much.

But I really don't want to do the Constellation questline yet, I've seen some spoilers and I'm not ready for that . I'm thinking of concentrating on the UC Vanguard or Freestar Collective questlines. Can I complete those without interfering with the Constellation questline?

I'm like 90% sure the faction quesltines don't intermingle with the main story. I think they push you towards some similar places, but I went through first playthrough beating Ryujin and leaving the Freestar and Crimson Fleet stuff partially done, and I didn't even talk to UC Vanguard. Current playthrough, I've not touched main story and completed Freestar, Crimson Fleet, and UC Vanguard and haven't noticed any interference.
- Thanks, I thought this was the case but wanted to be more sure.
You can complete them without interference. I did both of those quest lines before doing constellation. Afaik the only faction quests that interfere are the crimson fleet and uc sysdef quests.
- Ah ok, I was thinking the Crimson Fleet undercover was part of the UC Vanguard but it's been a while. So avoid Crimson Fleet undercover?
  
  If you want to do the crimson fleet quests then yes. However, I'm not sure if doing the fleet quests first blocks you from doing UC SysDef later on.
