Subjugates are a division of the enslaved forces 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. Any Subjugates who failed the to successfully undergo the processes would be reduced to a typical shock collar slave or put to death.

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.

Weapons and Equipment

Subjugate gear consists of reinforced dark blue coveralls, designed to provide a small amount of protection while stealing any individualism. The jumpsuits that Subjugates wear possess no distinguishing features and are all designed to cover every inch of skin, with a visored helmet leaving only the lower half of their faces exposed. Their vision is filtered through lenses that entirely hide their eyes and provide useful information by means of a heads up display.

The only individual piece of gear they wear are the left gloves - each bears a stripe that indicates their purpose. This is for the benefit of the Plagueians ruling them; every Subjugate knows his or her place from their first days, and needs no help to find their duties.

Armament for Subjugates varies depending on their specific task, but each Subjugate is issued at least a vibroknife worn on their left forearm. Whatever the assignment, a Subjugate learns to operate all equipment within it; while Subjugates specialize in their own station, they can readily assume another. In this way, they are less of a fighting unit than a support unit, operating machinery and keeping ships and equipment, as well as their fellow slaves in the case of medics, in good condition.

Subjugates, strictly speaking, have no names; the titles of whatever position or duty they assume takes the place of an identifying moniker. They are addressed by duty, callsign, or position, and while they do not desire advancement they will fill the void of fallen comrades without fail, to the point of responding to their fallen ally's old title instantly.
