Slavers

The Slavers are a hostile group of NPCs that can be found scattered across Jabal Eifrit in Hagga Basin, occupying Camps and Caves alike.
Lore
The Slavers of House Halil received an Imperial sanction as a supplier of critical infrastructure: maula. Following the destruction of Old Carthag, more Slavers are needed to kidnap and force Arrakis inhabitants into slavery as maula for the construction of Neo Carthag.
Quotas
Glossu Rabban threatened House Halil, through a correspondence with Kunladi Halil, due to the lack of slaves being provided to House Harkonnen. Kunladi noted to himself in a recording that capture rates are low: "We are processing two slave herds per week when we should be processing four or five." From under the Hand of Khidr, Salvers capture any scavenger, which is attracted to ship wrecks and crashing ships - caused by the War of Assassins.
Interestingly, Levenbrech Maxim Kazmir alleges that some slavers are accepting bribes from slaves in exchange for freedom.
Reputation
Slavers are known for their cruelty. Slavers can take debtor's freedom or turn to torture for sport, if the debtor is unable to pay. Similarly, they won't hesitate to turn one of their group's members into a maula, if it means meeting the quota.
However, they also value efficiency. Shock gauntlets were attached to uncooperative slaves and shocked their palms as a punishment. One supervisor noticed that slaves equipped with the gauntlets needed to recharge their tools and power packs less frequently. The gauntlets were quickly modified to a low level current and given to all workers.
Slavers also used Inkvine, a creeping plant native to Giedi Prime, as a material by slavers for generations. Inkvine whips were the most common - particularly for the slow burning beet colored scars that they left on their victims. This light armor is dyed to look almost like inkvine, despite being made from lesser materials.
Other Houses
House Mikarrol employes Dax Reyders and his family, a congregation of pirates and slavers, to also supply maulas for House Mikarrol's infrastructure projects.
Notable members
Notable members include:
- Kunladi Halil
- Dragomir Halil
- The Glutton: A Slavelord whose origins are clouded in mystery and is rumored to be a cannibal.
- Zaal Karak: A Slavelord who has gained the favor of the na-baron. Feyd-Rautha commissions for his a unique armor as a present. Zaal Karak and his men supply the bulk of slaves for the building of Neo Carthag. While on a raid to the Vermillius Gap for fresh slaves, Zaal captured a rifle and reinforced it with more robust materials. Other slavers copied him and now this once-unique rifle is popular amongst the slavers of the basin.
- Kel: A Slavelord known for his paranoia, Kel came to Arrakis to help with the building of Neo Carthag. He was a nervous businessman, even before he splintered with the rest of the slavers and moved his operations across the Rift. Now he sleeps in a unique stillsuit he designed. He does not sleep well at night.
- Mazlin: Unlucky slaver that killed a Kirab prisoner, was intoxicated by the Semuta by Chun, another Slaver, and was sent to Khidr's Shadow. Afterwards, he was likely shipped as a maula to Neo Carthag.
