Compitition was fierce at the Rigelian Institute and every student fought for the best Marks in the academics, the most grace in the arts, the best looks and technique in the seductive disiplines. Those who could afford the tuition tended not to try as hard as their futures were on Rigel and predetermind by birth. Veena was not one of those. She like so many others looking to build a future was in massive debt. Those who placed well would fetch high prices at auction. Maybe even enough to pay the debt completely with enough left over to live a good life once the service contract expired.
Veena was confident she had done well. She had spared no effort and was naturally gifted even for a species genetically engineered to be the most alluring, most seductive and sneakiest people in the universe.Veena was a Green Orion and her entire life was preparing for the day she would be sold.
.
But there was a problem with being one of the top ten males and Females twenty lives in total in your graduating class. Those twenty students were not sold at auction. They instead became the annual tribute to the Terran Empire. Unlike those sold at auction this was true slavery. You did not come home when your contract was done. You were a slave till the day you died. There were no goodbyes, no time to try to flee. Rounded up and shipped to Earth to be a slave to The Emperor . Nobody knew how long Orion Slaves lived in the Terran Empire. Or how they were treated. But none of the twenty had much hope.
.
Veena was shoved off the ship onto what was a Terran Starbase. She was subjected to a new education and conditioning to make her compliant to her masters. That such compliance was already built into Rigelian education didn’t seem to matter Mostly the education was aimed at making her accept that Terrans were supperior to every other race. That she had no value to anyone because she was a alien. She had turned 16 on the ship taking her Away from her homeworld. She was 17 when the education started to prepare her for the duties she would be required to fulfill for however long she lived as a terran slave. She was 20 when they told her her master had been chosen for her. They fitted a collar to her neck fused into place so it could never be removed. From now on she would live only as long as her Master lived. Her fate was tied to his. Her fate was his to decide.

Veena. Slave of the Empire.

Veena Would after the collar was fitted find herself Very roughly shoved into a room standing in that room was 9 other Green Orion Women and 10 MACO Marries all showing the rank of captain on their uniforms the MACOs were all at one end of the room Glaring at the Orions with disgust as all were Female they also had another badge on their uniform one that showed a pair of crossed swords behind Terra but they were solid black this was the Mark of the Black Gaurd their exploits are unknown heavily classified and any who has tried to find out has had a very public and Gruesome execution

Meanwhile, for Veena she would find herself among fellow Orion slaves all with the same collar one however was clearly not used to this because she was off in the corner crying scared out of her mind
