In a galaxy with over a trillion people living about, the very idea that a 4000 people news of freed slaves after the existence of Uibuth and the Adamantine Union is even worth a news was odd. Slaves get freed all the time. Now we not only got a 6 BILLION system struggling with 4000 people - Germany managed one million refugees - but those 4000 are also still in debt and desperate? At least chose a system that might struggle with 4k... or make it 400.000 or 4 million.
The description and lore of slaves says:
"Slavery is an important part of Imperial Society, providing labour for the Empire and a safety net for its citizens. Many Imperials will choose to sell themselves into a fixed period of slavery than face the embarrassment and dishonour of living with a debt."
The debt is the price of the slave. The debt is the money you pay to own them to work for you, like buying a house. Unless this description is woefully wrong, the IS had their debt paid when they entered slavery or had more debt than their slavery contract could pay anyway and need to go for a second slave round anyway. So the fallout shouldn't even be part of this!
This news is SO incredibly overblown and highlights so many and extreme problems as if 4000 insurgents of a terrorist group just landed on a world to take it over. What the hell FD! That reads like the finest imperial anti-immigration propaganda... and those aren't immigrants but citizens of the empire. If I drop 4000 New Yorkers in California, that is NOT immigration.
