Slavery

A slave was an individual forced to perform tasks. It differed from a free servant, who could quit.

Other species enslaving humans
Humanity has a long and largely unhappy relationship with slavery. Sometimes other races have enslaved humans, but there are many examples of one group of humans enslaving another, or of humans enslaving other species.

Daleks forced many people into labour in Bedfordshire, (DW: The Dalek Invasion of Earth) as well as on Skaro itself. (DW: Destiny of the Daleks) They've also occasionally enslaved humans through physiologic manipulation, such as when they have created robomen or "humanoids". (DW: The Dalek Invasion of Earth, DAN: The Humanoids) Relatedly, the Cult of Skaro once attempted to actually blend Dalek and human DNA so as to create a more reliable class of slave labour. (DW: Evolution of the Daleks)

At least one Time Lord — the Master was able to enslave humans. Though fear alone, he got virtually the entire population of 21st century Earth to help him create what he termed "the New Time Lord Empire", a project that involved massive building works all around the planet. (DW: Last of the Time Lords)

Humans enslaving humans
At different points in their history, some humans Humans have often enslaved other members of their species. (DW: The Romans, SJA: The Man Who Never Was) In 2011, Luke Smith summed up humanity's history of slavery to his sister: "Humans used other humans as slaves for centuries. Every culture, the world over. Nobody ever challenged them until a few hundred years ago. And in some places it still goes on."

After the Anubians were liberated by K9 Mark I, the Anubians turned on their former masters and enslaved them in the same way, even though K9 intended for them to reconcile in peace. The Anubians later developed space travel and enslaved other species. (K9TV: Curse of Anubis)

The Sycorax practised slavery. During their invasion of Earth on Christmas Day, 2006, they planned to sell half of humanity into slavery. (DW: The Christmas Invasion)
