In the beginning, the Minmatar arrived on the planet Matar. Though it wasn't called Matar at the time. The Minmatar called it Matar, well, not at first, that came much later. Anyway. Whatever it was called, the people that were later called Minmatar, lived upon the planet.
And due to the relatively mild climate of the planet, the Minmatar multiplied rapidly, on account of one of their favourite hobbies being reproduction. Other favourite hobbies of the Minmatar include rolling in the mud, whittling sticks, doodling, and banging a loud drum very loudly. The Minmatar religion began as a collection of beliefs in the spirits of mudholes, trees, doodlesticks, and music, and was all very eclectic and diverse. Particularly credulous people, that believed in as many of these spirits as they could, were called Elders, since most of them were very old, and were looked up to for inspiration and advice.
Time passed, and eventually the people of the planet realised they were all people, and that they lived on a planet, and so they called themselves "Minmatar", and called the planet "Matar", and the star that the planet orbited "Pator". These names have some form of importance to the Minmatar, but that's not important right now.
What is important, is that due to the then existing Minmatar Space Program, which consisted of launching spacecraft made by gluing whittled sticks together with special mud, a method which allowed them to colonise several planets in both the Pator System and elsewhere, anyway, this space program had the inevitable consequence of space travel, which is coherent radio signals. And as everyone knows, coherent radio signals can be detected by other space-faring civilisations.
Which they were. And that's when the Amarr arrived, in golden spaceships made of metal and doodled with Scripture, which took the Minmatar completely by surprise, as their religion was mostly handed down orally. No, not that kind. By Words and Memory. As the Minmatar were a very vocal community. That is to say, loud and obstreperous.
Being unable to resist in space, with their mudstick spaceships, the Minmatar were quickly defeated in space, and the Amarr began enslaving them on the ground. Many brave Minmatar warriors attempted to resist, by using their whittled sticks as spear, and rolling in the mud to camouflage themselves, but it was mostly in vain, and the Minmatar were conquered. The Minmatar priests kept the religion of mudrolling, stickwhittling, doodling and drumming alive, through whispering to each other, when nobody was listening. This allowed the Minmatar culture to be preserved for the duration.
Time passed, and some interfering busybodies appeared, wearing outlandish garb and full of strange ideas. These were the Gallente, and after communicating their most significant cultural export (Luminaire Lice, a 'socially' transmitted parasite) to the Minmatar people, they filled the Minmatar's heads with ideas of all sorts of things, which the Minmatar had never heard of, but which the Gallente considered rather good, such as dividing into groups and arguing about things and comparing which group was larger, as the largest group of arguing persons had clearly "won", by virtue of being larger. This baffling concept was called "democracy", and to the enslaved Minmatar, it seemed somewhat better than the state they were in at the time.
And so there was the Minmatar "Rebellion", in which Minmatar people, supplied with high-tech whittled sticks by the Gallente, drove out the occupying Amarr, and claimed a whole lot of star systems that they didn't inhabit previously. The Amarr Emperor of the time, was greatly amused and said, "Let us see if they can hold together these worlds, with their sticks", to which some of the Amarr nobles chortled, and others frowned.
And so, the Minmatar Republic was formed, and the Minmatar attempted to govern these worlds they found themselves in possession of, according to pseudo-Gallente methods of government, instead of the traditional method of drum circling. It didn't go well, more on this later.
Meanwhile, a great cultural revival occurred, where the arts of doodling on yourself with magic ink was rediscovered, and was used by the Minmatar to determine which Minmatar was destined for greatness, and which were not, the secrets of magic doodling having been suppressed during the Occupation. The Minmatar whose magic doodles said they were destined for greatness were very pleased, the ones whose magic doodles said they were destined for a career in local government were rather discontent, and the ones whose magic doodles said they were destined to be scurrilous rogues laughed and got wildly drunk and lived down to expectations.
Eventually, a bunch of people who'd been hiding somewhere, said "We are the Elders", and caused a giant war against the Amarr, as they thought that not enough Minmatar had died in the last war, and as a result the Minmatar Republic collapsed in on itself, due to nobody knowing what was going on, and whether drum circling or representative democracy was suppossed to be how to govern a nation.
And then came the "One True Minmatar", or "Sanmatar", known as Maleatu Shakor, who was widely considered to be a visionary, on account of being blind. He threw out everyone who he didn't like the look of, and put people he did like in positions of power, in a remodelled Tribal Republic, which brings us up to the present day.
Exam Questions:
1. ) Would you say that Emperor Heideran IV was directly responsible for the Invasion of Caldari Prime ? If not, what would you say ?
2. ) Does it surprise you that mud was ineffective as birth control in pre-spaceflight Minmatar society ? What does surprise you ?
3. ) Discuss the feasibility of using special mud and whittled sticks to evacuate Matar by spacecraft prior to the Amarr invasion, given the climate and ecosphere of Matar at the time.

Indeed, this is exactly what an idiot might think & write about our history and beliefs.
Will we be seeing sequels on the other main civilisations of the cluster, equally accurate and informed?
Perhaps you might see if you can track down Archbishop or Merdaneth? I seem to recall they had a knack for comedic writing of this sort.

Pretty much accurate, as far as I got it. It is just written very compactly and in more childish manner, instead of being an official historical essay according to approved guidelines and standards.
But I pretty much understand your position. When I have only became a capsuleer I only knew that there are such peoples known as Minmatars and that they live in tribes and might have dark skin color. And that's it. I never saw alive minmatar before I became a pilot.
All my knowledge and stereotypes about minmatars have originated from my first-hand experience of interacting with these species.

That reminds me of an age-old saying that any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
And so we create golems from magic mud that are powered with astral energy and act according to the ritual scrolls that we put into their flint brains, and fly over the skies on magic golden chariots, and throw fire and lightning from our thundersticks, wands and staves upon the cultist minions of the vampire lords, while our healers keep their potions and magic resurrection coffins ready.

Did you never read a single passage of an Amarrian or a Sabik scripture? They absolute can't help but use allegories, idioms, metaphors, analogies and etc.
The 'saw these signs and still not believe' portion of the Scriptures alone spawned many interpretations and jokes!

This guide is a farce. Both descriptors are mutually dependant, as you can't be a citizen of the Minmatar Republic without being an idiot, so by default most idiots are already savvy of the religion and history of their own nation. And fringe cases wouldn't be interested in such topics either way due to the fact they are idiots.
I suggest a rebranding of your guide for clarity, Blood Raider scum.

I feel as though everyone is taking this to be a guide for non-Minmatar persons wishing to learn about Minmatar history. I'm beginning to take another view, though. Perhaps this is designed as a basic introductory text for Minmatar?
It would certainly explain the use of "mud and sticks"; boiling down the incredibly complex material science involved in spaceflight to simple concepts, to be understood by simple people. |

Out of order as time paradox are. Pages can be better ordered as people see fit.
Current numbering is order of production.
There is lots of info to cover.
Keep reading there is a boat load of info included for those that can see...
Comments welcome. please and if all pages in one post if someone has time thanks.

Your wife is apparently not as smart as you think she is.

Come now Ser Egivand, you shouldn't mock her cave drawings. Only recently has she mastered the use of tools, and it is not our place to judge her attempts at evolving from her current evolutionary stage. Hopefully she might learn how to create fire so she can read her scribbles when night falls on her home planet. |

The fact that anyone bothered to actually read the thing, seeing the identity of the poster...

I continue to be unsurprised by the lack of substantial critique being posed here. The only opposition to be seen remains the bleating of people unhappy to see the Minmatar portrayed in any light other than positive. |

It's an attempt at light satire, mildly diverting. I can't imagine why anyone would take the time to critique such a flummery.
I am bemused by the number of people who seem to take it seriously, however.
The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.

Now it makes sense why I enjoy receiving these history lessons but not giving them so much.

They never do, darling, do they? I have some dim recollection of writing a treatise on ancient Matari history, myself, though I've lost access to the neurons that do search. I also seem unable to open the bloody regional market bloody interface to the regional market and not the bloody station bloody market... I digress...
Loved it, darling! Particularly the doodlesticks.
I do have to agree with those who point out that it took some ingenuity to make a spaceship out of mud and sticks.
Um... speaking of defining characters in Matari history, did I read this right? Is Her Majesty dead?

If I have lectured UX interns once I have lectured them a million times: "Thou Shalt Not" is blank text, most especially to the Gallifey; and as for Sebbies, well, it just goes without... off! OFF! Don't look at me like that! HOW COULD YOU BOYS MAKE SUCH A MESS!?
