minmatar republic (eve online)
One of the four major factions in EVE Online.
The Minmatar Republic is one of the four empire factions in New Eden. It is a relatively young nation, born from enslavement and rebellion. Ships designed and produced by the Republic are noted for their speed and flexibility.
The most proper adjective for the Republic's people is not "Minmatar" but "Matari", named after their home planet Matar (though "Minmatar" is more commonly used).
The people of the Minmatar Republic originate from the planet Matar. The people of Matar were enslaved by the Amarr Empire around one thousand years ago, starting in 881 BYC. The opportunity for the Minmatar rebellion came in 20 BYC, when the Amarr Empire lost the Amarr–Jove war. The Liberation from the Amarr is celebrated annually on the 10th of July, the Minmatar Liberation Day—but even to this day half of the Matari live under Amarr control.
Among the Matari, there are seven tribes: Sebiestor, Brutor, Krusual, Vherokior, Starkmanir, Thukker and Nefantar. Only five of these are part of the Minmatar Republic: the Thukker have their own independent nation, and the collaborationist Nefantar form part of the Amarr Empire as the semi-autonomous Ammatar Mandate.
