Illegal slave trade

The system of LJ-YSW in Curse is two jumps out from the Jove Observatory system Y-K50G and two jumps away from Zarzakh, the domain of the Deathless. 

Like in any system, the stations broadcast their market prices. Unwanted advertisements are a scourge also in Curse. And what does it promote in LJ-YSW? Slaves! Not the occasional misguided pilot trading a few slaves they found in space during a mission, nor a trap set by Minmatar rebels hunting slave traders. No, here is a vast and well organized slave market run by the Angel Cartel from its sarcastically named Dominions Logistics Support station. It advertises well over one third of a million slaves available for immediate sale, all year long. Prices and volumes compete with the largest slave markets of the Khanid kingdom. 

I have never seen such a thing outside the Empire, where the intent of holding slaves is benevolent. The slave status is a chrysalis in the transformation from the heathen to the faithful. The Holder guides, nurtures and protects his slaves until they are ready to be manumitted. Slavery as a means of reclamation has waxed and waned over history, and already since Heideran VII it is ebbing, as peaceful reclamation is gaining pace. 

Yet one must not forget that reclamation through slavery has shown its historical value and successes: remember that the Udorians were once reclaimed through slavery, and now we have a universally beloved and most wise Empress from Udorian descent! So, by no means Amarrian slavery can be said to hold down a people forever as the Gallente mistakenly think.

But out here in Curse, the Angel Cartel is making a perversion of it all! 

They do not care about reclaiming souls. They only have abuse in mind. They are twisting a sacred principle into a sick self-serving evil. Frankly, this makes me understand better why the Gallente hate slavery that much...
