Banu Indenture

Indenture is a [Banu](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/0NwpYPpNZ4-banu) practice in which another being is purchased for a limited-term service contract. Most Indentured Banu are children who have been put on the market to be sold to an appropriate [Souli](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/RAdjm4mron-souli), where they will be taken on as an Apprentice and trained in a new skill in exchange for room and board. Upon adulthood, a successful Indentured Apprentice will be granted full membership in their Souli. Adults in the [Banu Protectorate](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/Vgg795z2a3-banu-protectorate) may sell themselves into Indenture to pay off a debt, learn a new skill, or for a variety of other reasons. Prisoners can also be sold to Indenture Soulis for a profit.
