The lowest level of personnel in the Navy hierarchy are bondsmen, who are little more than slaves. Alongside [[Servitor]]s, these poor souls, organized into '''Press Gangs'''{{Fn|25}} undertake the most thankless and dangerous tasks on a vessel. Bondsmen are acquired by various means, such as rounding up criminals or unsavory elements of Imperial society or simply being born into their status aboard a vessel. Other times, if a ship is low on such menials they may round up the nearest bystanders at random on the nearest world.{{Fn|25}} Bondsmen's duties include cleaning, hauling ammunition into weapons chambers, shoveling fuel, and manual labor. Working long hours and only fed meager rations, Bondsmen are met with brutal discipline should they protest their status.{{Fn|11a}}
