Slave Is A Slave

Slave Is a Slave

by H. Beam Piper

The Galactic Empire is slowly expanding its reach, offering membership to isolated systems that have been overlooked for centuries. When the Empire arrives at Aditya, a society where slavery is the cornerstone of the economy, a profound clash of values ensues. The Galactic Constitution forbids slavery, forcing Aditya to confront the moral implications of its deeply ingrained social structure. As the oppressed slaves are granted freedom, the consequences reverberate throughout the system, challenging the authority of the ruling Lords Master and threatening to unravel the very fabric of Aditya's society.
