Scavengers can be found throughout the Uzehk sector and have recently been spotted just outside the Terran Patch. Though they are scavengers and would gladly melt you for the metal in your teeth, they do so under duress and should be pitied. Just hopefully from afar. Through no fault of their own, Scavengers undertake their tasks because they must. When workers land at Gebon Arrivals they are split into labor lines and job queues. The unlucky ones are made scavengers. The Ammunites quickly discovered that giving a miserable person a spacecraft with weapons can lead to lost laborers and unnecessary destruction of Ammunite property. To stem some of that loss, the Ammunites used Dust Drops to encourage obedience. The longer a scavenger goes without Dust Drops, the more their eyes weep and bleed. Those that are kind and wise pity the Scavengers. Some consider killing them to be a kindness. -Tanglepedia ref. 318.4b
