You and I have very different ideas about what a slave is. A slave is a tool of the empire, to be put to use when necessary. Can you folks over at the Empire burn this guy for heresy? Not that I care about your Faith, but one less slaver would be a victory for all.
We'd love to take action against holders who abuse their slaves, but dealing with unprovoked aggression from external entities is a higher priority.
Perhaps if the lesser races ceased in their efforts to overthrow the Empire we'd have more time to ensure that slaves were looked after.
But of course there's no evidence that Vultirnus has mistreated any slaves. A good craftsman cares for his tools because they last longer that way.

Certain equipment requires a license or permit to operate/own; basic fundamentals of ownership and responsibility should be demonstrated. Slave ownership is at least as heady a responsibility as, say, operating a pod interface. Wholeheartedly agreed. Mistreatment of slaves is one topic guaranteed to make me spit venom. Is it really so easy to forget that a slave is a person, too? In the State, improper conduct towards employees has consequences; an employer in the Federation who does something wrong faces both the media and the legal system; but here, nothing. I think it's fair to say that the lack of oversight is responsible for a huge amount of slave abuse - and thus a pretty large slice of the bad rep of the Empire in the cluster.
Do you have evidence of this "huge amount of slave abuse?"

SlaverySpecifically the 'methods of control' section.
I think that most civilised societies punish transgression.
Punishment for misconduct is not abuse.

I'll be sure to add him to my list.
However, there are are a lot of names above him. Your's for example.

Not like I'm suggesting that Arakanas is Rodj's equally bald heretical twin, but there's something..
We look nothing like each other and many people consider the phrase "you all look alike" to be somewhat racist.

People over 30 years old should not have slaves. I agree. How the obvious logic of this has not changed legal precedent and overthrown religeous zealots everywhere is absolutely beyond a rational mind's understanding.
It's almost as though the logic that you're using is flawed.
