Trading sentient life

Slavery is unlawful within the Union and so is the trade of sentient life.

The Union definition:
''' It is unlawful to offer, receive transport or conduct individuals or groups of sentient beings. '''

This law extends to all, Union citizens or not.

It is among the most serious crimes that can be committed and punishment is harsh. No Union member regardless of social, ethnical and traditional reasons may condone or allow this practice. It is part of the PUMA process (considered the most important one) to check a civilization or society that seeks Union Membership if there are practices of slavery or sentient life trade (for other purposes than forced labor)

There is a very small, elusive and highly illegal market for sentient beings within the Union. (See the Gag and Whip society )
