Slavery also indentured servitude (in the Banu Protectorate) are terms for various similar illegal practices which includes the imprisonment, trafficking of sentient species. Slaves are often forced to work in mines, fight in in gladiatorial rings or used for scientific experimentation. They are sometimes marked by their 'owners'.[1]
Legal status
Trafficking, smuggling or enslaving of sentient beings is forbidden in the UEE. Child and forced labour existed in the Messer Era. Slavery and slave trafficking is now outlawed in the United Empire of Earth, the Xi'an Empire and de jure in the Banu Protectorate. However, some planet-states within the Protectorate still allowing the ownership of slaves.
Slavery in the Banu Protectorate
Slavery in the Banu Protectorate seems to be regulated by a set of rules and is called 'Indenture'.
A Souli can possess Indentured Banu, but this enslavement is not permanent. Dave Haddock writes that "a Banu don't view their slaves as property or things. (...) just ones who have (...) been entered into this arrangement (...)." A slave can eventually buy their freedom.[2] Most 'Indentured Banu' are sold as a child to a Souli, a common practice within Banu Society. They are 'Apprentices' and receive 'room and board' in exchange. Upon adulthood, they reach full membership in their Souli.[3]
Other forms of 'Indenture' are including the 'Indenture to pay off debt' or 'learn a new skill' as well as the selling of prisoners.[3]
Evaluation Guilds
Banu parents sell their children to Evaluation Souli ("Evaluation Guilds") who check their skills and sell them to other Souli for training and "apprenticeship".[2]
Slave markets
- Spider, criminal haven in the Cathcart System
- Nyx System - a 'traveling' slave market
- Olympus, Nul - home to another 'traveling' slave market.
- Kins II has a 'servant market'.
Reports of forced labour
Slavelike labour was reported on QuarterDeck and Stanton I.
Reputation of Slavers
Slavers are seen as 'scum' even among other criminals. They seem to have a very bad reputation within the human society.[1]
