The Galactic Empire Enslaves The Romulans and Remans

Romulus and Remus are subjugated and enslaved by the Galactic Empire, as Moff Tarkin petitioned the Emperor to provide his projects with a ready supply of slave labor. Romulan Mineral Foundries, one of the chief corporations which supported the vanquished Separatists, is nationalized by the Empire. Romulan and Reman slaves are forced to toil in the mines of Remus and the factories of Romulus. Nearly 700,000 of their number were deported off their homeworlds and dispatched to Despayre.
