=== Honour and Status ===
The Empire values both status and honour very highly indeed. So whilst it is acceptable to flaunt wealth, treating people well is a question of honour – and this includes [[slaves]]. Having an unpaid debt is seen as utterly dishonourable – an honourable Imperial citizen would sell themselves into [[slavery]] to clear a debt they couldn’t otherwise clear.<ref name=":1" /> The [[Imperial Slave Association]] concerns the treatment and transportation of imperial slaves.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/21-AUG-3301 Imperial Slave Association Audited]</ref>
Imperial society is based on honour. The values resemble the ancient Roman [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dignitas_(Roman_concept) Dignitas] and Japanese [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bushido Bushido].<ref name=":2">http://www.rollingstone.com/glixel/features/elite-dangerous-creator-talks-sci-fi-politics-and-whats-next-w492781</ref> Dignitas is the sum of the personal clout and influence that a citizen acquires throughout his or her life. When weighing the ''dignitas'' of a particular individual, factors such as personal reputation, moral standing, and ethical worth has to be considered, along with the person's entitlement to respect and proper treatment.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dignitas_(Roman_concept)</ref> Additionally like Bushido, Imperial honour has moral values which stress some combination of sincerity, frugality, loyalty, martial arts mastery, and honour until death.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bushido</ref>
