Subjugates are a division of the enslaved forces known as the "Assets" of Clan Plagueis. Unlike Ravagers or Wraiths, Subjugates comprise support units like technicians and medics, while also forming the starship and vehicle crews of the House and including a servile class.
History
In 35 ABY, following the destruction of the Jusadih System, House Plagueis was forced to flee aboard the badly-damaged Ascendancy. Faced with few options, Quaestor Tra'an Reith used the slaving skill of the Saraask'ar to rebuild the military force of the House.
Those slaves fit for service were taken back to The Anchorage and prepared to serve. After segregating those useful for indoctrination as warriors and assassins elsewhere, the smartest, most clever, and most organizationally-minded individuals were selected for use as slave crews and support personnel. While humans and near-human species were best suited for the requisite processes, several alien species, Duros in particular, were also viable candidates. Only prisoners from species that were unfit for undergoing these processes were not considered. Among these were those species that were resistant to the Force, as well as aliens whose body chemistry made them unresponsive to training. Those found to be unfit were either sold by the Saraask'ar or put to death.
The candidates who survived the selection process were immediately stripped of any defining and individual marks and subjected to traumatic experiences to make them subservient, competent, efficient, and loyal to the forces of Plagueis. Trained by the Overseer, they were made ready to operate support vehicles, serve in non-combat roles, and crew spacecraft.
Skills and Abilities
Subjugates serve in a wide variety of support roles among the forces of Clan Plagueis. They are most often seen aboard ships of the Ascendant Fleet, performing all the roles normally performed by enlisted personnel aboard a starship. They are also used as medical personnel, pilots, and vehicle drivers and attendants.
Though their attributes might make them seem docile, the lack of identity and individuality is a large factor in the nature of the surprisingly ruthless and unscrupulous Subjugates. To them, morality is an aberrant concept, and life is either an asset to be saved or an obstacle to be eliminated. Outside of their duties, nothing else matters.
