Kessel was a lynchpin, a vital planet for trade both legal and illicit.
It was, also, a glorified mining outpost with the worst kind of people operating it. There was slave labor and cruelty of a kind that most people would balk at. As it was, Zeven supposed that as a former slave himself... he should probably feel some kind of kinship for the slaves who were whipped and beaten for failing to meet impossible demands.
He should feel some kind of empathy with them due to their shared experiences and likely feel some kind of growing anger at the slave-masters and those who punished the slaves more directly. By all rights, according to most forms of media, he should storm over there and catch the whip in his hand, feeling the phantom pain across his back from his own lashings, and demand that this stop.
By all rights he could feel that way and everything in the media and the general consensus of most people demanded that he couldn't feel any other way.
Instead of sympathy, Zeven felt loathing.
Looking at the slaves didn't make him angry at the slave-masters or the slaves themselves - it made him angry at his own former master for not dying in even more agony for putting him in bondage in the first place and angry at himself for not killing the man sooner. Perhaps it was selfish to not wish to save others from the same fate but he was a Sith.
He did selfish is spades.
So instead he just sat on a crate as he watched them load up an Imperial transport with some of the materials that had been purchased by the local Imperials. Sat on said crate happily eating a meiloorun that was.
He had a sweet tooth.
