Notes (2017)[edit]
Anyway, chattel slavery was banned in T4 under Cleon's "Warrant of Restoration" of the Third Imperium:
- "Article Vl - Slavery Prohibited: Chattel slavery shall not exist within the Imperium, nor in any territory directly under its control, nor on any member world, nor within any territory with which a member world shall have dealings."
Not sure if it was explicitly mentioned anywhere earlier in CT, MT or even much in TNE. But look up Lucifer on p 64 of the Regency Sourcebook:
- "What began as a clear-sighted recognition of the limitation of power gradually hardened into a structural cynicism in which the Imperium winked at government by thugs and murderers, so long as these thugs and murderers did not allow their local problems to spill off their worlds into public view, forcing the Imperium, like an embarrassed patriarch, to sweep the unsightly family problems beneath the rug."
- ...
- "What the Imperium saw in the Ward of Vision [the despotic ruler] that it suffered him to continue sentencing his people, Imperial subjects all, to early death is hard to say 85 years. later. Perhaps he made the trains run on time." - David Jaques-Watson.
