Minmatar Republic
Forged in fire, bound by blood, the Minmatar fight forever for their hard-won freedom.
via Wikipedia: Eve Online · see source
The Minmatar Republic is one of the five major empires in Eve Online. The Minmatar race was conquered and enslaved by the Amarr Empire. Generations later, after the intense culture shock of encountering the Gallente Federation, and in the wake of a disastrous attempted invasion of Jovian space, many Minmatar took the opportunity to rebel and successfully overthrew their enslavers, forming their own government. However, much of their population remain enslaved by the Amarr, and some, having adopted the Amarrian religion and sided with their masters during the revolution, were released from bondage and incorporated into the Empire as commoners in the Ammatar Mandate. The free Minmatar Republic, taking as inspiration the ideals and practices of the Gallente Federation, is presently a strong military and economic power actively seeking the emancipation of their brethren and all other slaves.

Reader's Guide
Minmatar ships tend to be quite fast but fragile, and rely on their high speed and maneuverability to evade the tracking systems of heavier weapons, while using combinations of missile launchers and projectile weapons (such as artillery or autocannons – the more sophisticated kin of today's munitions technology) to output high amounts of damage.
