Slave-warrior

Slave-warriors were used by the merraxen to help fill in their army with able bodied fighters without having to pay them. Most slave-warriors were captured from other systems. But others were marraxen who were not skilled enough to be in the regular army, or were being punished for disobidence. Just prior to the Great Galactic Civil War the merraxen enslaved several Jedi younglings, to be slave-warriors in their army.
