OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
While not exactly 'elegant' or 'popular', slaving collars are among the most cost-effective mechanisms for prisoner suppression; guards must be paid and require breaks and off time, while security droids are fairly expensive and require regular maintenance. A good shock collar, meanwhile, is more than capable of reliably standing by 24/7, electrocuting the wearer if they enter the wrong area or become violently agitated.
What wondrous efficiency! Unfortunately, such devices are associated with unpopular institutions such as slavery.
Globex's control collars have nothing to do with such nastiness, of course. The Penitent line is able to safely, swiftly, and humanely suppress violent tendencies and other undesirable activities. Using such devices on slaves would be met with the strong condemnation of the Globex Corporation!
Of course, it is not practically possible for a mere corporation to police its customers. That is the responsibility of governments.

- Conventional Control Collars utilise a mixture of electrocution and fast-acting sedatives to swiftly and humanely dissuade violent, criminal, or otherwise undesirable behaviour. Various other deterrents may be added to the versatile design, see below - some may activate if removed.
- Explosive collars are brutally effective, or more aptly efficiently brutal. Most are designed to feature explosives facing inwards so as to limit the risk of collateral damage - the explosive decapitation of one rebellious
slavepenal worker is often enough to pacify the rest. It goes without saying that the Globex Security Division only use such inhumane control methods on the most horrid of beings. - Toxic collars are able to inject nasty concoctions above and beyond the usual sedatives. Fex-M3 is a particularly popular option, at least insofar as lethality is concerned - concoctions that induce hallucinations, intense pain, and the like are better suited for suppression.
- Explosive collars are brutally effective, or more aptly efficiently brutal. Most are designed to feature explosives facing inwards so as to limit the risk of collateral damage - the explosive decapitation of one rebellious
- Control Collars can be remotely activated, activated based on a prisoner's location (e.g., trespassing), or even tied to surveillance systems.
- Control Collars come equipped with inbuilt tracers 'in order to prevent prisoners from harming themselves in their futile escape attempts.'
- Resistance is Futile: The Penitent is difficult to remove, can monitor its wearer's biometrics and location, and can safely apply a typically escalating series of humane and responsible resistance-reducing techniques, including electrocution, sedatives, or even summary execution.
- OK, Not That Futile: The Penitent can be cut off, ionised, etc. Lethal anti-escape countermeasures may be in effect but can be avoided.
