A WORLD ENSLAVED

“ pilgrim s” transported along the Shag Pabol.
Though the planet remains under the control
of the Besadii clan, Hutts make up less than
one percent of the population. Following the
destruction of the Cult of the One and the All,
some of the surviving t ’landa Til returned to the
Y’Toub system, while others chose to remain
on Ylesia and set up so-called Exultation dens
where addicts could get their fix. While many
of the pilgrim-slaves were liberated during
the Rebel raid, there were simply too many to
smuggle them all off the planet. In spite of the
portion of the former cultists remain addicted
to the Exultation. Ironically, on a world almost
wholly devoted to the production of ryll and
glitterstim , the most popular narcotic remains
the ministrations of the t ’landa Til. Slaves and
indentured servants make up about half of the
total population of Ylesia, though following
the destruction of the Cult of the One and the
All, the illusion of freedom has been dispelled.
While Besadii mercenaries and Nikto slave-war-
riors maintain order and keep the spice workers
in line, thousands of Black Sun foot soldiers and
enforcers now openly work beside them.
