They had occurred long before my coming to Gor. - (Vagabonds of Gor, Chapter 26, Sentence #188)

"Indeed, wars have been fought to obtain the beautiful slaves of a given city". "The Slave Wars!" she said. She was referring to a series of wars, loosely referred to as the Slave Wars, which occurred amongst various cities in the middle latitudes of Gor, off and on, over a period of approximately a generation. They had occurred long before my coming to Gor. Although large-scale slaving was involved in these wars, and was doubtless a sufficient condition for them, hence the name, other considerations, as would be expected, were often involved, as well, such as the levying of tribute and the control of trade routes. Out of the Slave Wars grew much of the merchant law pertaining to slaves. Too, out of them grew some of the criteria for the standardization of the female slave as a commodity, for example, how, in virtue of her scarcity, her training, and such, she is to be figured as an item of tribute, for example, in terms of other domestic animals, given their current market values in the area, and so on, such as verr and tarsks. - (Vagabonds of Gor)
