"'''Pit Slaves'''" is a term used to describe the vast numbers of [[Imperial citizen]]s of [[Hive World]]s who find themselves indentured to the [[Guild]]s who control all of the raw materials and manufacturing industries of the [[hive]]s. This can be because they are unable to pay off debts which they owe a certain Guild, because they have committed some crime against them, or most commonly because they have been sold to the [[Guilder]]s by one of the hive's [[gang]]s or the Guild's '''Watchmen''' themselves.{{Fn|1}}
