Elf Kittens

I find that Elf Kittens are among the more tragic races in the Transhuman Space setting. They are sapient bioroids who were designed as 'bedwarmers' and have been deprived of the ability to speak, presumably so that their masters would not have to hear them begging for mercy. While they can presumably learn to sign and to read and write, I doubt that many of their masters bother to teach them to do either.

In my games, I have created the Elf Kitten Liberation League (EKLL), an organization that specialized in locating and freeing enslaved Elf Kittens. After they were linerated, Elf Kittens were taught signing and literacy, so they could give voice to their emotions and trauma, which the EKLL used to gain more funding and support for their activities on Earth. Often demonized by inhabitants of the Outer Sol System, the EKLL were banned from Ceres in 2095 after liberating 100 Elf Kittens from their Duncanite masters and escaping with them before security forces could recapture their missing property.

Since then, the EKLL and Duncanites have been in an escalating war, with each side attacking the spaceships and stations of the other side. While the Duncanites outnumber the EKLL in the Outer Sol System, they are more disorganized and are much poorer, as the EKLL possesses a trillionaire as their primary patron (Ms. Stephenie Sun). With Duncanites believe that Ms. Sun is using the EKLL as a Trojan horse to build up support for a future conquest of the Main Belt. They are correct, Ms. Sun plans on turning the Main Belt into an independent nation with her as empress, but she does believe in liberating the Elf Kittens.

So, how do you deal with Elf Kittens in your games? Are they merely be dwarves or are they deeper characters? If the latter, how do you portray their enslavement and oppression?
