The Minmatar Republic
A tough, no-nonsense race, the Minmatars are a determined and independent people. Their home planet of Matar is a natural paradise, although centuries of abuse have taken much from its beauty.
For the Minmatars, the most important thing in life is to be able to take care of yourself on your own, and although kin and family play an important role in their society, they prefer identifying themselves by the clan or tribe to which they belong. A clan can have any number of people in it, and its size is largely dictated by the main activity of its members. Most specialize in one area of activity. While those who live on a planet can focus on agricultural or industrial activity, others who travel around the world of EVE concentrate on trading, pirating, and suchlike.
In the distant past the clans constantly warred against each other. Since then, however, Minmatars have learned that cooperation is more important, and although the clans still try to maintain their regional and ideological identities, they act as a single unit towards other races.
The fortunes of the Minmatars have ebbed and flowed continuously. At one time they had a flourishing empire with a level of mechanical excellence never before or since seen anywhere. Later, however, they had to endure centuries of enslavement, toiling and dying for the benefit of foreign masters. Today most of them have regained their freedom, but the legacy of their enslavement has been the diaspora of the race.
The Minmatars are the most numerous of all the races in the world of EVE, but their vast numbers are divided into many factions. While the Minmatar Republic is the official state, only a quarter of all Minmatars are part of it. The largest proportion, almost a third, are enslaved within the huge Amarr Empire, while a fifth resides within the Gallente Federation, creating a powerful political bloc which keeps relations between the Gallenteans and the Amarrians in a constant state of tension. The remainder, who are not part of any formal organization, live as freemen throughout the world. Many are itinerant labourers, roaming from one system to another in search for work. A fair number make their living on the darker side of the law, acting as pirates, smugglers and peddlers in all kinds of illegal goods, and many of the larger criminal groups in the world of EVE are run by Minmatars.
Minmatar Tribes
The Brutor tribe are a strong-willed people and hold their tribal heritage close to their hearts. They are strong advocates of transforming the Republic into a tribal-based government, they would love nothing more than for all seven of the Minmatar tribes to reunite as one nation. The Brutor are renowned for living regimented, disciplined lives. Despite presenting a tough, no-nonsense exterior, they are deeply introspective and "in the moment", aware of even the smallest detail. Immersed in ancient martial traditions that begin at childhood, they are physically robust individuals and intimidating to face in the flesh.
The Sebiestor tribe are widely respected as being among the most innovative thinkers of their people. The Sebiestor are an ingenious people with a natural fondness for engineering. For the last millennium, they have been pioneering advances in applied sciences despite laboring under chronic material shortages. Sebiestor engineers believe they can build anything out of anything. Veritable masters of deriving solutions from impossible circumstances, they are most commonly found working in shipyards, assembly lines, terraforming projects, outpost construction, and aboard starships.
The Vherokior tribe can be found in professions ranging from doctors to mystics, scholars to merchants. Their quiet work ethic and widespread family clans allow them unlimited social mobility in the Republic, with access to both the best and worst that society has to offer. While politically underrepresented in the Republic, the Vherokior are more than capable of influencing policy. They have no qualms of using that influence to benefit a relative or associate. The practice is common in the private sector as well, where Vherokior clan-run businesses thrive by avoiding the bureaucratic red tape of official channels.
The Thukker Tribe is one of the original seven Minmatar tribes. After gaining their freedom from the Amarr Empire, the Thukker Tribe left the Minmatar Republic for a nomadic life of their ancestors but in space. They travel throughout space in particular The Great WildLands Region where it's considered to be the closest thing to home for the Thukker Tribe. Most treated the tribe as petty criminals but their resourcefulness and diligence is praised.
The Krusual tribe is sly and cunning surrounded by lies and secrecy. Though isolationist by nature, the Krusual tribe has recently becoming more involved with the politics of the Republic as they stake a claim for its mastery.
The Nefantar tribe, commonly known as Ammatar, are known for collaborating with Amarrian agents. During the beginning of Amarr rule, many Minmatars thought the Nefantar were traitors. After the Rebellion, the Nefantar fled with their masters and formed the Ammatar Mandate. The Minmatar Republic and the Ammatar Mandate had constantly fought in skiminshes against each other since its creation. It has only been recently revealed that the reason of the Nefantar betrayal was to save what remained of the Starkmanir Tribe. This has caused an identity crisis among the Nefantar who many deeply support the Amarr Empire.
The Starkmanir tribe was thought to have been lost in the Minmatar Rebellion until news was released of their survival as slaves. The Nefantar tribe had devised a plan to rescue the remaining pockets of Starkmanir into the Ammatar Mandate as slaves. Though much of their ancestry has been lost through generations of slavery.
