Slave

From Encyclopedia Galactica:

A slave is a person who is the legal property of another and is forced to obey them.

Slaves can be held against their will from the time of their capture, purchase or birth, and deprived of the right to leave, to refuse to work, or to demand compensation. Historically, slaves and slavery was institutionally recognized by many societies.



Chattel
Chattel, so named because people are treated as the personal property, chattels, of an owner and are bought and sold as commodities, is the original form of slavery. When taking these chattels across national borders it is referred to as Sentient Being Trafficking. This form of slavery is prohibited by Union Law.

Bonded labor
While rights advocates want this to be branded as Slavery as well, Bonded Labor is excluded from the Union Anti Slavery laws and subject to local laws. However Union Citizens have the right to appeal to a Union Court for the “Debt” to be specified and substantiated and the Creditor must be able to produce evidence of the debt. Debt bondage or bonded labor occurs when a person pledges himself or herself against a loan. The services required to repay the debt, and their duration, may be undefined.

Forced labor
Forced labor is when an individual is forced to work against his or her will, under threat of violence or other punishment, with restrictions on their freedom. It is also used to describe all types of slavery and may also include institutions not commonly classified as slavery, such as serfdom, conscription and penal labor. The institution of Serfdom is separately regulated and defined by Union Laws. Penal labor is a legal form of punishment. Local law and court systems that have Penal labor on the books must report all sentences to the Union Federal Court System and both federal and local penal institutions are subject to inspections.
