Here is a customized D100 Random Table for Slaves and Illicit Cargoes tailored specifically for the Clement Sector setting. This blog post picks right up from A d100 Dark Artifact table for The Clement Sector role-playing game especially for The Unmerciful Frontier: The CCA Sourcebook Third Edition
This table blends the distinct flavor of Clement Sector—featuring Uplifts (Bears, Alphas, Uplifted Dolphins/Apes), Neanderthals (Sub-Species), corporate espionage between mega-corps, black-market military gear, and high-tech smuggling.

Referees' Rules of Thumb for Handling Illicit Cargo
Customs Inspections: When entering system space near high-law worlds (Law Level 4+), roll 2D6. On a roll higher than the local Law Level, a patrol boat will conduct a routine sensor sweep. Concealed cargo bays require a successful Electronics (Sensors) or Engineering check to build, and an opposing Investigate or Recon check by customs officers to discover.
Value & Black Markets: Selling illicit cargo on the black market typically yields 150% to 300% of standard cargo value. However, human/uplift trafficking carries severe legal penalties across most civilized sectors (immediate ship seizure, execution, or life imprisonment).
Stasis Pod Complications: Humanoid/Uplift cargo in stasis pods requires a successful Medic check every 2D6 weeks to ensure the pods do not suffer power fluctuations or life-support failure.
