I believe Michelin makes the Jet S, which is a semi slick, in UST. If you have UST rims you can still use a standard tire with a tube and just get any slick you want. There's not much point in running/making a tubeless slick tire. The main advantage of tubeless is being able to run very low tire pressures. Since slicks need to be run at very high pressures it doesn't really matter if a tube is used.

Hutchinson do do a completely slick road type tyre for the UST market, alternatively i suggest some Conti 26x1.0 Grand Prix tyres and tubes, mentally fast!
