'''Pit Slaves''' is a term used to describe the vast numbers of [[Imperial]] citizens of [[Hive Worlds]] who find themselves indentured to the '''Guilds''' who control all of the raw materials and manufacturing industries of the [[Hives]]. 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 Guilders by one of the [[Hive]]'s gangs or the Guid's '''Watchmen''' themselves.
