Following the recent audit of the Imperial Slave Association, the Imperial Senate Audit Committee has recommended further regulations governing the treatment and transportation of Imperial Slaves.
The proposed regulations center on improved vetting of commanders permitted to transport Imperial Slaves. The rank of Master in the Imperial Navy has been suggested as a minimum requirement for the task. Additionally, budget will be earmarked for the search and recovery of Imperial Slaves transported and sold outside of the Imperium.
Svetlana Zhukov, chairwoman of the ISA, publicly supported the proposed regulations:
“It is our duty to ensure Imperial citizens serving terms as Imperial Slaves remain within the borders of the Empire until their debts are paid and they are returned to full citizenship. It is our hope that these new regulations will ensure the rights of Imperial Slaves are not trampled upon by those who are unscrupulous enough to sell our people for quick credits."
Political commentators have expressed doubts that the proposed regulations will be approved, but many remain hopeful.
