Slave trade

Slave Trade

Slave trade is the business of capturing, breeding, transporting and selling sentient beings against their will.

While slave trade in all its forms is illegal within Union borders, it is big business elsewhere.

While the classic definition of Slave is a being forced to labor or perform tasks and services, it is now used for any purpose including food source, Actually the smallest number of slaves are captured, the largest percentage is farmed and bred.

While there are virtually no casesd of Union citizens sold as slaves since the Freespace treaty expired,[1]  there are still plenty of Non Cits captured and sold.

[1] There are no restrictions anymore in terms of Union military pursuing slavers or pirates. While Union laws do not apply outside Union borders and the fleet can not interfere unless asked for help. It can and does protect its citizens. (And does so with a very heavy hand)
