This proposal is fairly simple.
Implementation:
- Chattel Slavery and Livestock would be usable by Xenophobes.
- Indentured Servitude, Battle Thralls, and Domestic Servitude would be usable by Authoritarians. EDIT: (thanks mammonmachine) and perhaps this whole category could be named Servitude, not Slavery proper.
Implications:
- Different slavery types could impose different faction and/or ethic attraction, so an unhappy Chattel Slave might not become Egalitarian (while an unhappy Indentured Serf might indeed become Egalitarian).
- Different slavery types could be viewed better or worse by Factions, so a Xenophile Faction might demand war against a Livestock slaver, but might not mind taking an alien Domestic Servant home.
- Authoritarians lose access to the slavery type with the largest production bonus.
- Xenophobes lose access to the slavery types which allow Specialists, so they can't run a planet of Specialist slaves with just a few Ruler-stratum pops.
- Being a xeno slave under a Xenophobe would tend to impose a worse Happiness penalty than being a xeno slave under an Authoritarian.
Separate "dehumanizing" types of slavery from less-horrible (but still horrible) types of slavery, and make the "dehumanizing" types exclusive to Xenophobe, and the less-horrible (but still horrible) types exclusive to Authoritarian.
