Welcome to the Galaxy, Palmer. My #1 suggestions is to browse the Wings here on Inara. Inara is a fan site, so not part of the game, but everyone on here is playing the game. Wings here are loose clans/guilds that help provide some structure and affiliation with other players in the game. Find a Wing to your liking, and this will provide you with a backstory, some structure and direction on how to play the game. The game alone is a massive sandbox and you cal play it however you want - and it's almost too much of a good thing until you've built up some experience. Joining a Wing on Inara will help you get there sooner and with more enjoyment.
Some Wings have specific agendas, activities and ways of playing. Others are very open-ended and may favor a type of activity, an area of space, a Power or minor faction in the game, etc. I personally am very fond of my Wing (Ghost Legion).
You can always leave a Wing if you do not find it to your liking or if you don't click with the Wing mission/agenda or personalities.
