Slave Race: Difference between revisions

 

{{examples}}

== Comic Books ==

* In ''[[Incredible Hulk|The Incredible Hulk]] [http://www.incredible-hulk-library.com/superhero-library/incredible-hulk/incredible-hulk-comic-details.aspx?id=TIHA&issue=12 Annual 12]'' Hulk (with Banner's brain) visits a world where the Red people have enslaved the Green people. Hulk helps the greens to liberation, and before he leaves advises them to show mercy to the reds, otherwise they (greens) will be as bad as them (reds). After returning to Earth Hulk looks in his telescope and discovers that the greens have indeed enslaved the reds.

* This is what [[Paperinik New Adventures|The Evrons]] trasform the inhabitants of every planet they conquer into.

 

* Humans have become this to apes in ''[[Planet of the Apes]]'' (after taking apes as this first in the movie sequels).

* Humans in ''[[The Matrix]]'', though most don't realize it.

* In ''[[The Dark Crystal]]'', the [[Evil Counterpart|Skeksis]] are able to drain a being's lifeforce by using the dark crystal's light. These beings are brainwashed in the process. The Podlings are a picture perfect example for this trope, working as slaves for the Skeksis.

* In ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon]]'', {{spoiler|the Decepticons plan on turning the human race into this, in order to have workers to rebuild Cybertron. Needless to say, the Autobots stop them.}}

 

== Literature ==

* ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine]]'' featured the Jem'Hadar, a genetically engineered race of super soldiers designed to be fanatically loyal to the Founders of the Dominion. They could be considered a [[Servant Race]] of [[Proud Warrior Race Guy]]s in regards to the Founders (whom they revere like Gods), but they see their overseers, the Vorta, as keeping them enslaved via the chemical substance Ketracel-white (which their cellular biology is designed to require in regular doses). One Jem'Hadar was shown to lack this addiction and biological necessity; he tried to find a way to share his condition with others in order to start a liberation movement that might allow them to cast off the Vorta (he even began to question whether the Founders truly deserved the loyalty of the Jem'Hadar).

 

 

== Tabletop Games ==

* In ''[[Exalted]]'', the oddly coloured Djala pygmies are mostly this, and most assuredly do not [[Happiness in Slavery|like the situation]]. One canon character is a Djala, and working to change things.

** One of the [http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=131006 cards] in ''Planar Chaos'' discusses an alternate timeline, in which Mirri befalls Selenia's curse, eventually ascends to the position of evincar, and exterminates the moggs in favor of the [[Rubber Forehead Aliens|the Kor]].

** The Neurok were slaves (or at least a subordinate race) to the Vedalken, at least [[Turned Against Their Masters|until they took over Lumengrid]].

** The Falmer (Snow Elves) spent generations as slaves to the [[Our Dwarves Are All the Same|Dwemer]], until, for unrelated reasons, the Dwemer all disappeared.

 

* Gnomes and Rift Halmes in ''[[Drowtales]]''.

* Part of the [http://www.lastres0rt.com/2010/04/no-jigsaw-will-not-put-on-the-dress/ implied backstory] of the Talmi in ''[[Last Res0rt]]''.

* Part of the background of ''[[Terinu]]''. The Vulpine, Creo, Galen, Maud and Manzi were all conquered by the Varn Dominion and made to serve. Then the Dominion made the mistake of [[Humans Are Special|trying the same with Humanity]].

 

* The ''[[Global Guardians PBEM Universe]]''. Most of the aliens who now live on Earth were originally brought as conquered slave races by the Xorn invaders in 1985. When the Xorn were defeated, tens of thousands of alien slaves were left behind, and most chose to stay on Earth and build new homes and lives rather than be returned to slavery under their former Xorn masters.

 

== Western Animation ==

* Referenced in a montage in ''[[Futurama]]''. In the year one million and a half, humanity as a whole is a slave race to giraffes.

* In ''[[Star Wars: The Clone Wars]]'', the Zygerrians actually plan to make Togrutas these.
