Permission to enter

Permission to Enter is a significant part of the culture of consent that Terrans and allied races cultivate. As a rule, almost all confed members cannot enter a system or building without consent from the owner or resident. When provided consent, Terrans can render aid as needed, including supplies, resources, and military action. This seems to follow Terran concepts of informed, willing consent, but Terrans do sometimes stretch these laws to assist people. This appears to be a characteristic that is ingrained into their society, to the point where Terrans will not render aid unless invited in. Terrans say that it is rude not to ask permission before entering, but they are also unable to act without permission. They also ask permission before medical procedures, data collection, and rendering assistance.

Terrans do not ask for permission to enter when at war with an entity.

Notably, Daxin Freeborn and his companion FIDO do not always follow these consent laws; it is unknown if this is possible for all Terrans, something found in the Confed but not followed by the members of the crusade of wrath, or a exception specific to Daxin. Daxin almost always asks for permission to enter, however, as it is polite to do so.

This relates to the pre-diaspora concept of informed consent, where consent must be freely given, fully informed as to what the individual is agreeing too, clearly given, and ongoing and revocable. Consent is a large part of Terran culture.

Speculation
This is an absolute rule for most Terrans. It is believed that other members of the Confed follow it due to the value Terrans place on it.

Vuxten was awoken by Terran military personnel in his apartment who he had not let in, but it is possible that those personnel were ones who had previously been invited in.
