Slavery

Slaves are a surprisingly common item of trade on the RBS, and the Administration Board allow it since generates good revenue. However, they understand the contreversy surroudning slavery, and as such take great efforts to pretend they care, and hide all the activity.

Owning a Slave
Any entity can purchase a slave provided they have the Credits. Slave markets are mostly found on Deck-1, very rarely on Deck-2, but only in special designated Districts that are out of the way from main walkways.

Slaves must be registered specially, rather than as a normal entitiy. They still have ID and registration but many benificial things that one would have due to registration are ommitted. Slave ID will also include fields such as: Owner, Skills, Body Measurements, Breeding Information, and other details that a buyer might want to know.

An unregistered slave is just as illegal as an unregistered entitiy. Slavers usually register the slaves themselves, when they are brought onto the station. Sometimes when an entity purchases a slave they will re-register them, as Slaves tend to 'bulk' register their cargo to save money and time.

Slaves do not have majority of the rights that a normal entity has on the RBS. They also do not have financial accounts and must either be permitted to use their master's accounts, or more commonly, given chits if they need to buy something.

Black Market Slaves
Some slavers operate out of Dark Segments, selling unregistered slaves. This is not only due to the lack of fees they would have to pay to sell their goods, but also to sell slaves of species that may not have standard clearance.

If one of these slaves are purchased, they cannot be registered easily. Buyers will either give their slaves fake ID, bribe RBS Staff, or simply hide their slaves and never register them.
