And no, the Ur-Quan background is just a field of stars. I don't see a slave pit at all.
Reading the SC2 manual explains why the Ur-Quan perch themselves above their slaves. That's why the picture is of the Ur-Quan's caterpillar-like body in the air. Unlike Primat facts, this one is true and you can see for yourself. Being perched up above your slaves, able to whap them with your tendrils, is an excellent tactical advantage.

Keeping little critters around to pull levers and run in the hamster wheels that power your Marauder is probably acceptable and not considered 'enslavement' I suppose, if you consider slave shielding and allowing the subjugate race to pursue their own devices on their own planet as 'enslavement'.

We are the Ur-Quan Kohr-Ah. Our nature, the fulfillment of our fate requires your destruction. You are filth. It is now your time to be cleansed.

Much simpler than that actually... at least when referring to the talking pets, they probably don't consider it to be 'enslavement' simply because the talking pets aren't sentient.
