Permits
Permits are needed in order to be able to travel to certain star systems within Elite Dangerous. Only commanders who possess the appropriate permit may enter a system that is permit-locked. Fleet Carriers are barred from traveling to any permit-locked system, regardless of whether their owners have the permit.
The Pilots Federation holds the authority to place permit restrictions on systems, and will seal off systems at the request of a faction, or in response to the presence of significant hazards or threats. Generally, it is up to the permit-holder for a restricted system to decide whether or not to distribute permits, and acquiring a permit requires meeting specific critera set by the permit-holder. Many permit-locked systems do not allow their permits to be distributed. Some permit-locked systems offer exclusive commodities, ship and module discounts, or access to unique locations.
