EVE Fiction

a nascent nation that has only recently recovered an important part of its tribal heritage (the return of the elders), they have taken most of their republican structure with the naming of Maleatu Shakur as their Sanmatar, giving another step into the reformation of their tribal traditions.

the most recent minmatar event has to be with a little problem with the gallente, the death of one of their greatest leaders. Karin Midular, which was attacked in gallente space during an event. the atacker was kept in gallente space while the government discussed the arrangements for his trial. meanwhile the republic asked for taking the prisoner into their custody so he could be condemned by the minmatar laws. this went in discussion with the gallente laws system.

as the federation didnt agree with it, a minmatar fleet (with dreadnoughts) crossed the border and caused an armed conflict with the federation navy, as they tried to retrieve the prisoner. the conflict extended even at social lvls, with reportings of attacks to minmatar inmigrants inside the federation, even the gallente president gave an advice to all the minmatar citizens to stay alert in the meantime.

the conflict also took the attention of Tibus Heth, who tried to make closer the relations between the Caldari Estate and the Minmatar Republic, with offerings of sending caldari medics and specialists to treat Midular's declining health, the republic refused the offering saying that their own doctors would take care of it. Karin Midular died anyways, and it was a great loss to the republic. Heth kept giving support to the minmatar cause until the end, of course, blaming the gallente for the problems given to the republic and that stuff.

as for general concensus, the minmatar republic still recovers its ancestral might, there are slaves in the Amarr Empire yet, but only those of the 10th generation and under, the others were emmancipated by order of Empress Jamyl I, at this massive act the minmatar republic has to deal with the coming of millions of inmigrants which need homes and jobs, so unemployment is a current problem within the republic.

but for the most part, the republic is thriving and growing, and becoming more advanced, the current V3 textures show at least lore wise, that the new ships created at the republic are becoming more and more "solid", compared to their rustier old versions. so the minmatar are advancing in technology too.
