Gladiators

Overview
Gladiators are typically enslaved beings from outside the Jurisdiction of the Unity of Planets. among the crew of the Serendipity, Cadger, Varian and Joey (Cassie) have been gladiators. However, Joey was a volunteer Gladiator.

Owners
Gladiator Owners are typically individuals trying to impress their peers or indulge a disturbing bloodlust. it is not uncommon for either to also hire pirates to kidnap potential contestants. Typically an owner will also own coliseums to host games in.

Gladiators and whether they kill or not is often determined by the rules set up by their Owner. The winning Gladiator must follow their Owner's rules unless circumstances are otherwise dire.

Slaves
Typically from outside of the Unity of Planets, Slaves are individuals found specifically for the use of fighting. They usually fall into one of the "Primitive" society classes, even though many of them are classically trained. the bigger and stronger they are, the better for the Owner.

Volunteers
Once in a while an "Advanced" member of society will volunteer to fight in the games. Unlike the Slave Gladiators, they sign a waiver contract, allowing them to fight an agreed amount of times before they either sign on for more or leave the fighting business. They are typically housed separate from the Slave Gladiators, due to the animosity between the classes.
