The Black Iron Marauders: Slave Market

Are you witnessing a decline in your countries workforce, annoyed by the constant grumbling of the plebeian mass? Tired of not being able to find enough cheap labor to kick-start your economy, or even sustain it in the first place? Then look no further friends, for we of the Black Iron Marauders have the solution for you, Slaves! Now I bet you are wondering why you should select the services of the Black Iron Marauders, and that is a fair question, allow us to illuminate you to the wonders of purchasing from our humble market.

If you are not aware, a good chunk of slave markets are... limited, to a degree. Many of these slavers have numbers, or allegiances keeping them safe and secure, but some of them lack the overall reach, and most importantly, the variety that we can supply. The Black Iron Marauders are nomads, we traverse the stars free of the limits of land, of ocean, and of planets in general. We roam system to system, eventually settling down for a time in our great stations in the void, and loot and plunder what we desire before moving off to somewhere else.

In this time we have acquired a great amount of slaves from our raids on worlds belonging to a vast assortment of stellar empires, and offer slaves of such quality that no one else can match. Further we offer a premium security service, and will deliver your slaves in our own ships, free of charge, all you must worry yourself with, is the price of the slaves you desire, and we will gladly provide them to you; and hey if you just so happen to want custom slaves from a "close" source, then we will be more than happy to acquire them.
.

Catalog
Our merry band of Marauders have captured many peoples, of a thousand worlds we ransacked, and countless have been chained to serve the horde. For the purposes of this market, all prices will be made based on an exchange rate, but all payments must be made in energy, minerals, or other goods that may serve the Marauders. Any attempt to pay with paper or useless coins will likely see you on the market, all we ask is that you show some respect and pay us with something useful to the horde. For now at least, we shall only sell stock of human origin, a fairly vanilla option, but safe and steady in the market and won't raise heads in certain environments. If business looks good, then maybe we will start branching out with human derived races, humanoids, and more exotic species. It should be noted that specified pleasure slaves are those who previously show required skills for such activities, what you or your culture doe with any of these slaves really is none of our concern once the transactions made. If you would like a slave of a specific origin, then see the Gold tier for the custom slave option, and then the order form, specific orders will be paid after the acquisition of a slave, and our host reserves the right to decline any order, custom or otherwise.

Bronze Tier
This tier is for slaves who had little standing in society or were born from such stock in our slave farms. To us, their life skills are considered useless to the benefit of the fleet, and as a result, there is a large surplus.

Agricultural Slave - $500
Fishing Slave - $350
Hunting Slave - $500
Slave Scribe - $860
Slave Artist (Please specify what form of artist you would like.) - $725


Silver Tier
This tier is for slaves who were born in well off standards and a worthwhile trade that benefited their society, and our own.

Labor Slave - $900
Domestic Slave - $1,250
Industrial Slave - $1,400
Field Slave - $1,000
Common Pleasure Slave - $700
Slave Minors - $1,325


Gold Tier
This tier is reserved for the more prestigious of slaves, from captured bankers and architects, to low nobility and enforcers.

Custom Slave - Price to be determined upon specifications
Quality Pleasure Slave - $1,500
Security Slave - $2,650
Slave Soldier - $3,955
Architect Slave - $5,800
Banking Slave - $4,250
Enslaved Lower Noble (Includes captured Knights) - $8,000
- Feel free to specify what you are looking for in your order.


Diamond Tier
Ironically a rather worthless material, the historic prescribed value of the diamond seems fitting, for the value of these slaves. Slaves of high birth and social statue are placed here, especially when freshly captured, the risk and cost to attain such high quality servants is worth their price.

Enslaved High Noble (Lessor Dukes to Archdukes, Noble Governors, Priest, etc) - $13,000
Enslaved Bourgeoisie (Ministers, Presidents, Non-noble Governors, Doges, etc.) - $10,525
- Feel free to specify what you are looking for in your order.


Platinum Tier
This tier is reserved for the highest crust of the social ladder, many men likely gave their lives to attain such slaves, and they are short in stock. So high is the price that it may be more worthwhile to hold them ransom, so they are often also plucked during succession wars, where the other claimants may rather not retrieve the competition.

Enslaved Royal (Kings, Queens, Archdukes, etc) - $25,000
- Feel free to specify what you are looking for in your order.

To the illustrious Illevar of the Black Kingdom,

Your order has been processed and the slaves you desire are being loaded up within our barges, ready to be shipped within your borders to begin their new life under your guiding hand. We have chosen the most hardy and docile stock we have available, nerve stapled and broken by the wheel to serve their masters. Our idea of immense strength may not correlate exactly with the standard, so to be sure we drugged them up real good and made sure their strength is comparable to our own, you shall find no slave better capable of hard labor in the mines. The horde thanks you for your payments, and we shall surely put these automatons to good use to sap the power of the shroud around them, you have done our merry band of raiders a good deed with this most excellent gift. We look forward to further transaction with your most esteemed persons. Your location has been marked on our maps, and the ships soar onward to deliverer the goods, expect a delivery date of between 3 weeks at the minimum, 7 if the Hyperlanes get chocked up or patrols become bothersome, regardless we shall deliver, if we do not deliver them on the promised time then they shall be gifted for free.

Sincerely, The Black Iron Marauders

To the Department of War of Swayh Prijani,

We have enough gold coins as is, and are not interested in attaining any more. We suggest you consider something a bit more weighty, perhaps raw materials or minerals?

To the Barbarian Kingdom of "North America"

It has come to the attention of our office that your own sublime state has issued a declaration against slavery, and have just actions to ensure it's destruction within your sphere of influence. This is a noble cause which separates the savages from other peoples, and is a respectable course. However after a deeper inspection we have realized that there are some mistakes which may be understandable to those who fail to properly look into the details of any given situation. Thus my office has seen it fitting to properly realign your intentions and to bring about clarification between our two states, so that harmony may once again take hold.

1. We understand that trade is a complicated matter, and that when dealing with what one considers unjust it is only right for the state to forbid the exportation of goods into what one may consider an immoral state, we assure you however that the Holy Solar Empire does not require nor desire any exports from your realm, as well we are currently unfamiliar with any arrangement of tribute from your state to the Heavenly Kingdom. As well, we do not currently see any records of gifting anything to your state as of this time, thus there has been no such actions to impact from this decree.

2. The Holy Solar Empire currently has no economic assets present outside of it's domain, it should be warned that any attempt to seize Imperial finances will be considered an act of piracy and will be dealt with as such. We trust that your state understands this and will not attempt to seize any Imperial assets, noncompliance will be dealt with in an immediate and harsh manner.

3. While otherwise irrelevant as a whole, we must sternly warn you that any action taken upon any official of the Holy Solar Empire, or against it's citizens, will be responded with maximum force until such a time as we believe that such transgressions will not occur further. We trust that you understand that such insubordination will not be tolerated and that any grievances your state has with an Imperial official will be brought to our office for review.

4. Under no obligation are you allowed to stop or impede an Imperial vessel without before attaining the permission of the relevant authorities, attempts to do so shall be considered state backed piracy and be dealt with as such. This office trust that any concerns your state has with an imperial vessel will be directed to us so that the situation can be properly handled.

5. We will ask you politely, that if you feel that any punishment given for insubordination will first be petitioned, failure to do so will only make the following punishment more burdensome for your state, we will not tolerate any sign of insurrection.

6. We will reaffirm that any act of piracy shall be dealt with harshly and without remorse, we encourage you to enlighten yourselves about the virtues of trade, it is a far more safe and pious way to attain goods that you otherwise do not have. We expect that barbarians lack the foresight to understand something so central to an enlightened civilization, and it is our hopes that we may teach your people such if you so seek such aid.

7. We will politely ask of you to in future correspondence to consider your words more carefully, lest they be considered an insult. Such behavior is most unbecoming of a state within the universal Empire and we trust that this was merely a case of poorly chosen words.

We understand that it is beneficial for a state to think highly of itself in order to maintain a coherent society, but we advise that in the future you temper such emotions lest they gain the best of you. While your reasons are at the face of it, well reasoned, they are misplaced. We suggest that in the future you take more time to go over the relevant information before sending out your declarations of intent, lest they be seen as an offense to the Heavenly Kingdom. We will overlook this transgression for now and turn the other cheek, in the assurance that this was a mistake on your end, if your respected state wishes to better the relations between itself and the Heavenly Kingdom, then we may be willing to discuss a system of tribute to show your submission to the Empire.

Given the context of your statements, we believe that you have misaligned your aggravation, perhaps an error in writing. Imperial intelligence suggest that current slaver activity is under the monopoly of the Black Iron Marauders, a notorious marauder band of nomads that have routinely raided our borders as well as the realms of other states. We assure you that the Empire is looking into rooting these brigands out and dealing with them for once and for all, and so if these were your intended targets, we can only commend your intentions, but we suggest you leave it to the proper authorities.

the Junior Minister of the Office of Barbarian Affairs, Lord Julian Clarke

Diplomatic Letter to the Junior Minister of the Office of Barbarian Affairs of His Imperial Majesty's Government:

Your Lordship,

Given the limitations of interplanetary communication and travel of the North American Union and the broader United British Commonwealth of Nations, and the limited intelligence gathered by our security services, errors did occur in the interpretation of said intelligence. His Britannic Majesty's North American Government wishes to extend apologies and goodwill with the interstellar dominions of the Holy Solar Empire.

His Majesty's North American Government ceases any and all authorised actions to combat the slave trade in the General Order-in-Council 13092021-67 towards the Holy Solar Empire and will extend them towards the illegal slaver group known as the Black Iron Marauders in a new Order-in-Council forthcoming.

We thank you for the peaceful communication between our two civilizations. We hope to extend relations between His Imperial Majesty the Holy Solar Emperor and His Britannic and Imperial Majesty the King of the Nations of the United British Commonwealth, Head of the External Associations of the United British Commonwealth of Nations, and Emperor of India.

With honour,
