Mannar
The Mannar are one of the four founding races of the Gallente Federation alongside the Intaki, Caldari and of course the Gallente. Their home system, Mannar is located in the Everyshore region of the Federation. Their first contact with the Gallente was made 15 years after the Gallente-Intaki first contact [1] and today they are spread far and wide though Federation systems.
Many modern Manar associate with the Hawk political bloc of Federation politics, a group that advocates militaristic approach to foriegn policy and nationalistic attitudes.[2]
Status of the Manarr in EVE Fiction
Although the Manarr have existed in the Eve storyline since the begining, extremely little has been published about them to date by the fiction writers at CCP. They are the only founding group of the Federation that is not a playable bloodline - when third bloodlines were introduced to the game, the Jin-Mei were created instead. However they continue to pop up occasionaly as brief mentions in news stories.
