But slavery is something that seems to haunt them: it must have played a painful role in their own history. They obviously fear it.

They don't fear death, though. They don't embrace it, but they say that you live for as long as someone remembers your name.

They never remove those helmets, so I can't judge from their ex-pressions, but the tone of their voices tells me that the erasure of their culture by ours will be worse than death for them.

I suspect this is the key to keeping them loyal. Mandalore will remain untouched for as long as I need them. But enslavement will be the only way to handle them in the end.

A loose confederation of bounty hunters, the Slaver Syndicate is controlled by the Zygerian Clan Prollerg. It dictates which bounties to hunt, how much to pay for slaving rights, and when and where to act.

The Syndicate generally pursues modest bounties, mostly acquisitions guilty of minor infractions. Such individual acquisitions are typically overlooked or dismissed by more experienced hunters because they aren't profitable, but what the syndicate loses in per capita bounty collections they make up for in sheer volume.

Furthermore, live captures are usually brought to systems with liberal slaving laws, where they are purchased and resold as slaves.

The slave types most heavily trafficked by the Slaver Syndicate include native Mandalorians and the Twi'lek. The Syndicate occasionally deals in the transport of Wookiees, but not to any great extent, as the Trandoshans have a near monopoly on the market for Wookiees.

Does she know about Jango? How do I even broach the subject? Good news, Arla, your brother survived the massacre. Bad news, he saw everyone he cared about slaughtered, he spent years in slavery, and he got killed by a Jedi in the end. Sorry about all that, Arla.

mythosaur-An extinct, gargantuan mon-ster-some nearly the size of a small city by a few accounts—the mythosaur was the stuff of Mandalorian legend. They were all destroyed by the first Mandalor. But the City of Bone, a slave quarters on Mandalore, was built out of the bones of the beast by an alien named Suprema during the Galactic Civil War.

Taking the name "Suprema," his title among his own people, Ampotem Za was installed as overlord of Mandalore with the objective of enslaving the population of the planet. Having seen Jango Fett and an army of his clones in action, the Emperor knew just how useful Mandalorians could be. As a trained and organized soldiery, the Mandalorians were now all but extinct, but many hardy specimens with raw talent remained among the planet's populace. The Suprema's task was to round them up for Imperial conscription.

His slavery ring on Mandalore proved especially successful for the Empire, for in only a few short months, nearly all remaining Mandalorians had been shackled in energy-links that bound their wrists and their souls. Among those captured was Tobbi Dala, a Mandalorian Protector with close ties to fellow Clone Wars survivor Fenn Shysa.

The slaves were put to work inside a skeleton several stories high and 400 meters in length, which had been converted into a hard-labor penitentiary. The City of Bone was a carcass-prison, all that remained of a mythosaur unlucky enough to have crossed paths with ancient Mandalorian conquistadors. To the Mandalorian people, it was a constant reminder of the eventual death they faced, both individually and as a race.
