Talk:Slavery

What's eve cluster? I think some of ISD's fictional writers should round up a story around Slavery in EVE. Are Caldari working class also slaves? This has room for philosophical discussion :) --Bashar Miles 01:19, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Who can be enslaved?

Before editing I'd like to put something forward:

It is a relatively accepted "fact" among Amarr loyalist RP'ers that prisoners of war can be enslaved. Is this true? If so, it would be worth adding to the article.

The story "Theodicy" at http://www.eveonline.com/races/theodicy/ tells us about the conquest of a planet, where the survivors are captured and transported to a mining colony to work there as slaves. The story implies that those are civilians (families and such), so I would guess that POWs (soldiers of an enemy nation) are either deemed too dangerous to be easily controlled or not handled differerently as the control mechanisms are that effective. --L'Kor 08:41, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

Freeing of slaves by Empress Jamyl I

Isn't it very much of note, that the Amarr Empire freed hundreds of millions of slaves from their bonds. And in addition, this article completely ignores the positive benefits slavery has for a society. --L'Kor 08:41, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

From the article: "Slavery is one of the most controversial practices in the Eve Cluster. ", since when is it controversial? Three out of four nations abolished it and in the Amarr Empire there's no open discussion of any controvery of slavery. I would see it as a pretty clear subject as "controversial" would mean that it is discussed with open end anywhere, which it is not... --L'Kor 08:47, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
