NEW SLAVERS UNION

[Xing]

I'd buy some slave.
I didnt say that aloud did I?

More seriously, I never thought either slaves are really part of FL community. As far as I know, they'd probably be raided by pirates in the farer borders of civilisation (Harris and Kurile for instance), and would be sold in pirate asteroid base. what are they used for then? they dont seems to need that much domestic workforce; for one, droids, which seems quite able, can be stolen, programation rewritten and used for same with much less trouble and probably higher efficiency.
Which pretty much reduce the captive to either expendable hostages, sexual toys, maybe experimental lab mices - nothing reasonably needed in large amount to the point of requiring a 2nd party hauler.

While I do like the concept of slaves and slave traders (I actually used to have a story related with outcast slavery, I dont know how an independent network would exist; for one, the pirates themselves would transport them instead of asking help from junkers, and since theres no need to smuggle since slavery is forbidden in all 4 houses, SU isnt exactly required.

But thats merely my personnal view of Freelancer slave concept.
