The
Minmatar Republic was formed over a century ago when the Matari threw out their
Amarrians overlords in what is known as the
Minmatar Rebellion. The Matari had the support of the
Gallente Federation and to this day, the two nations remain close allies. Yet, only a quarter of the Matari people reside within the Republic. The rest are scattered around the world, including a large portion still enslaved within the
Amarr Empire. Minmatar individuals are independent and proud, possessing a strong will and a multitude of tribal traditions.
