Prize Stallion Preface
This is more of a description of the setting I have in my head. I consider this a draft so we'll just see if anyone finds it interesting. I really need to force myself to write more but a lot has changed since I uploaded anything 3 years ago. Even my character has changed. We'll see. I may lose my nerve again and run away or maybe work on it.

StallionPreface The world of Corlea is one of the central production
planets of The Empire. The Empire as it is called by its citizens is the
central government of a civilization that spans nearly a quarter of the Great
Eye. The Great Eye is a barred spiral galaxy that is nearly one-hundred
thousand light years in size from the tip of one arm to the tip opposite of it.
Corlea supplies mostly agricultural exports to dozens of planets in the same
sector of itself which has made it wealthy and influential. In order to keep up
with the amount of labor needed to make everything work Corlea is a planet with
legalized slavery. While that is not uncommon within The Empire the level to
which Corlea has taken it is nearly unique. Corlea doesn't have an exceptional
number of slaves but they are the only planet within The Empire that has been
breeding their slaves for hundreds of years. Corlea has a proud tradition of animal husbandry so it is
little wonder that the lords of the planet responded to the constant labor
shortages by instituting a breeding program. Up until that point slavery was
seen as punishment for those who broke the law. However, afterwards being a
slave and owning slaves became something to be proud of. Strong and capable
citizens donated their genes to the first few generations of specially bred
slaves. These slaves were bred for everything from security to manual labor and
even sex. Over time every facet of society became influenced by the existence
of these slaves. Over time some slaves became well known through shows where
they are presented to the public as well as their work among experts and
admirers. Due to the nature of this cultural phenomenon many slaves
take great pride in their pedigrees and most slaves, especially the males,
spend their entire lives trying to earn the right to breed and pass down their
best attributes. While many genetic lines are considered specialized it is not
uncommon for them to end up doing other duties. One may occasionally find a
slave from a labor line working in a brothel or a slave from a sex line working
in security. Sometimes a Master or Mistress simply wants to use them for
different purposes or perhaps they are just better suited to that line of work.
This is not a bad thing though. If the slave performs exceptionally well in
their line of work they could be used to help establish an entirely new genetic
line. This is considered an honor so often these slaves work even harder at
their given duties.
