Possibly the slum colonies could be a result of declining authority in outer sectors; leaving some government dependent societies weak without any real control to keep people in line and advance the technologies of said colonies.

That said, it would have to be restricted to outer worlds, since obvious any world in the empire proper would need to be well provided for.

That's a good point. Alright. There can be slum colony planets, but for the sake of keeping this as technology based as possible, I don't think visiting them will be in the roleplay (unless the roleplayers take it into a different direction altogether, which is totally fine; that's whats supposed to happen, right?)
