NA*} Conspiracies & public outcry stand on firm ground amid facts as new & old questions about anti-slavery effort arise
A Imperial lawyer working for Ngulungbara Commodities announced today that, as far as he can tell, there is no legal protection covering slaves and their transfer to the Thargoids.
The loop-holes stem from the wording of well-intended anti-slavery legislation crafted before the public discovery of sentient Xeno-lifeforms, he went on to describe.
"The most asinine example of this situation is with the long heralded success of Aisling Duval's minimal-tolerance law. The reason is two-fold. One may not buy or sell Imperial slaves in systems under her influence. One may, paradoxically, buy slaves for liberation. I have always laughed at this, they are undocumented citizens everywhere, and there is no framework for reintegration. They are often the most expensive slaves in the bubble."
The wording of his explanation reignited the unresolved grievances behind anti-slavery initiatives and portrayed them under a new light, rather, a new darkness. The Thargoid threat, whatever it stands to be, brings an incredible compounding effect on urgency. Several off-hand but well-circulated accounts suggest that the Thargoids are both eager and excited to receive human beings.
A quick look at known market data shows that just 37.7LY out from Cubeo there are over 350,000 slaves sitting on a popular Tourist orbital in Aisling-exploited space, marked up a full 6%. Qetesh Dynamic Commodities has refused to answer questions without a warrant, and the AD government has not even so much as replied.
We will keep you updated on all further developments.
