Chapter 2: Night Care of your slave.
This is a short chapter, or well should be, but night time care of your slave should rate closer to your own care than most. Make sure your slave has the proper toiletries to keep their bodies clean, their teeth brushed and clean, and for females, of course, specialized products. An unhealthy body can come from not allowing your slave to shower or clean, and this can lead to diseases, illnesses, and other things that will take them away from your service and either kill them or hospitalize them. Making sure they are healthy in this way will make sure they are happy as they may see even commoners that are sick or other slaves that are sick and they will thank you in some form for making sure they were not. Each slave should be provided their own bedrooms if you can afford it or a barracks style if you cannot afford to give each a room. But make sure they actually have beds in either case not sleeping on the floor or on a cot but on a real actual bed, this will provide them comfort and a better rest so they have the energy to complete their daily tasks for you.

Chapter 3: Training a Slave.
Many will ask, have asked, or may just wonder, since I do not use Vitoxin to control or train my slaves, how do I do it. This is simple. I make them Promises that a normal commoner would never ever have. And I follow through with my promises. You would be surprised how many minmatar or even amarr slaves (for those enslaved due to crimes against the empire) jump at the chance to learn and prove themselves, knowing that if they do their duties and tasks to a decent level they will be rewarded with stuff a normal person would have to work years for. Training can be simple, from giving them books to learn from, or having paid servants show them a couple times. They will learn, do not expect one hundred percent efficiency from them on day one, this is unreasonable. But give them time. Also follow through on your promise of what you will give them, going back on the promise will cause resentment and cause you as the holder problems. Another way of training is through punishment I will admit, but do not flog or beat your slaves. Locking them in their bedroom denying them any social contact, or if you allow them contact with their family cutting that off will serve and make them understand that while you won’t hurt them for failures or misbehaving they will be punished and eventually they will learn that they did wrong.

When Training your slave, it’s also wise, not to assume they don’t know anything, most people know how to vacuum or do laundry. The best bet is to ask them after you have bought them as well… most slave markets will charge more for skilled slaves and most slaves will not tell the marketer what skills they have making the seller assume they are more qualified than they really are.

Chapter 4: Purchasing a Slave or slaves.
Many will say, this should have been chapter 1, but I disagree. If you as a slaver holder are not prepared to have a slave or prepared to do even a bit of the first three chapters you have no business even considering purchase of a slave. While each slave is owned and technically has few rights, they are still human no matter what, and must be treated as such or they will revolt.
Now the first thing, one should look for in a new slave is age. If they are too young like children they should not be on the auction or sellers block, anything under fourteen qualifies as too young. However there is an exception to this rule. If you are purchasing a family then child should be included but not charged for, mainly because it is unethical to split children from their parents. The second thing is Physical status, if they are ill, malnourished or severely injured Do not discount them but buy them, you can force a cheaper price, and then get them medical attention as I stated back in chapter 1. If they are healthy and normal they will serve just as well, so look them completely over, checking everything you can.

Purchasing sex slaves is a big no no, and if you find a market selling slaves for that purpose you can do a few things, either buy them and report the market to the Imperial Authorities or just report them immediately, to the Imperial Authorities, or even some groups out there that resist slavers such as sex slavers, the names of which since I do not have permission to identify I will not list here. I know some Holders however do fall in love with their slaves and sleep with them, but if it’s consensual then it is between them and really not the right of others to discuss, since most have sex when in love.

I am no Holder, but... the format here is quite difficult to read.

I am sure the content is valid, though.

I suppose Pilot Deritan should be praised somewhat for at least making an effort to treat other humans as human and not livestock. However, I'm reminded of an old proverb: A caged bird is still not free no matter how lovely the cage or how well cared for the bird.

While many things in this are proper and expected slave keeping, to which I highly commend, there are some areas that are woefully missing or serve to be poor advice.

For one, I see nothing here about your duties to provide your slaves with religious conversion. That is the goal of the Reclaiming, to bring the faithless into God's light. That you would suggest to release slaves due to time spent working for you, or allow them to buy their way out, is worrying. The only ones that should be released are those that have been fully converted to God, who have demonstrated that they are truly faithful. Even more, one must consider their generation. First generation slaves should almost never be released, for they still carry the influences of their previous culture and will pass those influences down to their children, risking their children's spiritual development. Only slaves of several generations down the line should be released, once it becomes clear that all foreign influences have been expelled from their line and they are capable of entering wider society without risk of falling to temptation.

Additionally, your punishments are far too lax. Sin must be punished, or it will teach one to sin again. I do not understand your aversion to the use of physical force, it is a common punishment for all classes in the Empire, slaves and non-slaves alike. While it should of course be reserved for serious transgressions, it should not be avoided entirely. Pain purifies the soul. When you put your hand in a fire, it will burn and you will feel pain, discouraging you from putting your hand in fire again. So must be taught to slaves: if they sin they will feel pain. This will strongly encourage them to avoid committing such action again. More than that, it will also encourage the slaves around them to avoid committing that sin, lest they suffer the same punishment.

I will agree that solitary confinement is often a good punishment for lesser sins. It was one my own Custodian often used for us. A Holder or Custodian must use their own wisdom to determine what is a fitting punishment for each individual sin committed. In some cases, solitary confinement or other minor punishments are sufficient, but one should not hold back from using physical force for serious transgressions.


Lastly... train as a capsuleer? Even if on the rare occasion that you do get a capsule-compatible slave, training them would be highly improper while they remain in servitude. It gives them too much freedom, making them more vulnerable to foreign influences, and it threatens their soul--if they die and clone before they have been properly converted, their soul will go to final judgment before they are ready. I can see providing funding for a recently-released slave who has been found to be genetically compatible, but never should a still-serving slave be made a capsuleer lest you risk endangering their spiritual growth with the many temptations and risks that exist with the freedom and power a capsuleer possesses.

You're welcome, milady.

And yes, there might be loyal ones, but I believe the great temptations faced by capsuleers is something that one should seek to avoid imparting on those who remain in need of spiritual education. The risks to their soul are too great, in my opinion.


But ehm.. you speak of Carmilla, the same that posted in this thread? But she is a member of an Angel Cartel organization?

I see. That sounds reasonable. Thank you for your replies, milady.

In my experience the Electus Matari are always polite, even when killing slavers and slaves alike to rescue slaves.

Very well written, Lady Deritan.

You totally forgot about shock collars that are activated remotely with a push of a button in #7.

Also, slaves need monocles so they would look stylish and won't run away.

Convenient then, that I have very little interest at all in what methods are more 'insidious' or 'deadly' and only in what are more conductive to producing converts.

Do I take it that I shall see you belittling the treatment of slaves by the more liberal of Amarr as cunning and dangerous all the while gunning down innocents by the hundreds then, whelp? Go on, surprise me.
