Human Debris (ヒューマン･デブリ Hyūman Deburi) refers to orphaned children that have been sold into slavery, named for having the same value as space debris.

Overview
Human Debris are orphaned children sold as human slaves for the same value as space debris. The unfortunate nature of being slaves means that Human Debris usually serve a lifetime service with no form of payment or personal residency of their own. Most Human Debris receive harsh treatment from their owners, leading to a submissive personality complex. Lack of self worth and a life of mistreatment normally leave Human Debris with an ingrained belief that Human Debris are always supposed to die in space and nowhere else.

Chryse Guard Security
Maruba Arkay and CGS acquired several Human Debris and subjugated them to the Alaya Vijnana surgery. In order to identify themselves as Human Debris, these members of the CGS wore a red stripe on their uniform jackets. After Tekkadan succeeds CGS, Orga Itsuka returns the Human Debris contracts to them, setting them free from slavery.

Brewers
Brewers purchased Human Debris and used them as menial technicians, operators on the bridge, pilots for their Man Rodi mobile suits, and disposable infantry when faced with boarding parties. Like CGS, the children are augmented with the Alaya-Vijnana surgery. The Human Debris pilots were constantly abused physically and mentally with beatings and threats of death being commonplace in the face of failure, incompetence, or disobedience. After Brewers are defeated by Tekkadan and Turbines, the surviving Human Debris are recruited into Tekkadan with assurances of fair treatment and a home at Tekkadan's base on Mars.
