Affiliations are one of the defining characteristics of your Captain. They can be obtained by choosing certain Facets, or by recruiting Officers. Some storylets, prospects and dialogue options depend on what Affiliations levels you have.
There is currently no known way to lower your Captain's personal Affiliations, but it is possible to raise and lower your effective Affiliations by choosing which Officers you appoint at any given time.
