Roboslavers

A group of ponies inhabiting a pre-war Robronco robotics factory, focused on capturing ponies and other sentient creatures and separating them from their brains both for cheap, cooperative labor and to manufacture more Roboponies.

After many years of laying dormant, a group of opportunistic ponies cracked into the security systems of the robotics factory, turning its defenses to their side and granting them access to the facility. Inside they discovered that much of the machinery was still operational, there was just one thing missing that was halting production: brains. Realizing what they could gain if they were to create an army of Roboponies under their command, these ponies began foalnapping anypony they could find in the area and using the facilities resources to extract their brains for use in these ancient machines. The brainless bodies are then sold off as slaves, or kept in the camp as laborers or slaves for the inhabitants.

After a few skirmishes with Stable 83, a temporary truce was settled on. While the factory was heavily defended, it had little in the way of resources besides an abundance of scrap and robotic parts. At the same time, 83 was perfectly capable of sustaining its population with fresh water and food, but could not easily repair its damaged Roboponies. Thus, in exchange for food, water, and access to the City, the Roboslavers would supply 83 with robotic components for repairs. Roboslavers entering the City are closely monitored, often being escorted by Roboponies or Stable security, and are banned from attempting to capture anyone inside or around the City.
