Revision as of 14:51, 10 May 2021
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.
