Also, a nice little lore on our Delta Force troops.

Link to novella on the Minmatar Rebellion in pdf format. A great read.
http://community.eveonline.com/races/theodicy/
A tough, no-nonsense race, the Minmatars are a determined and independent people. Their home planet of Matar is a natural paradise, although centuries of abuse have taken much from its beauty.
For the Minmatars, the most important thing in life is to be able to take care of yourself on your own, and although kin and family play an important role in their society, they prefer identifying themselves by the clan or tribe to which they belong. A clan can have any number of people in it, and its size is largely dictated by the main activity of its members. Most specialize in one area of activity. While those who live on a planet can focus on agricultural or industrial activity, others who travel around the world of EVE concentrate on trading, pirating, and suchlike.
In the distant past the clans constantly warred against each other. Since then, however, Minmatars have learned that cooperation is more important, and although the clans still try to maintain their regional and ideological identities, they act as a single unit towards other races.
The fortunes of the Minmatars have ebbed and flowed continuously. At one time they had a flourishing empire with a level of mechanical excellence never before or since seen anywhere. Later, however, they had to endure centuries of enslavement, toiling and dying for the benefit of foreign masters. Today most of them have regained their freedom, but the legacy of their enslavement has been the diaspora of the race.
The Minmatars are the most numerous of all the races in the world of EVE, but their vast numbers are divided into many factions. While the Minmatar Republic is the official state, only a quarter of all Minmatars are part of it. The largest proportion, almost a third, are enslaved within the huge Amarr Empire, while a fifth resides within the Gallente Federation, creating a powerful political bloc which keeps relations between the Gallenteans and the Amarrians in a constant state of tension. The remainder, who are not part of any formal organization, live as freemen throughout the world. Many are itinerant labourers, roaming from one system to another in search for work. A fair number make their living on the darker side of the law, acting as pirates, smugglers and peddlers in all kinds of illegal goods, and many of the larger criminal groups in the world of EVE are run by Minmatars. |

Together we stand. Let us keep our freedom where it is, far from the hands of the Amarr oppressors. |

It's my house now, dog. And you'll be sleeping in the kennel with your slaver hounds.
Expensive to feed, those beasts, they're absolutely ravenous ;) |

Kinda curious how a female Amarr slave would look in my slave pen... Hmm. Once we destroy their ships and sack their homes, I'll be paying back what they've done to us. |

We must fight the ammar and their puppets the ammatar,
We must inspire our enslaved brethren to rise up against their overlords,
We must crush their empire and grind their unholy church into dust...
We are the Tribes of the Minmatar and our destiny is great,
for we grab the future for ourselves and will rise once more!

Everybody should fight the Amarr.
EVERYBODY!
Amarr are not only a nation of religious bigots and seriously off their rockers about that Empress of theirs. They are slave owners as well. |

Question: how important is it in the overall scope of the game which race and bloodline you choose? Does it actually matter or is it just something that adds to the story? |

Not sure here, but if CCP goes the route that currently is in EVE then nope doesent matter THAT much since one can train skills regardles of which race or blodline you choose.
What it propably will affect is those few starting skills, and IF/WHEN they actually populate dust mercs to Tranquality(live EVE servers) then it will affect your starting location. But again you can move around so that shouldn't pose any issues.
So all in all i'll bet it's more of a cosmetical and lore choice. |

I hope when it goes live they keep true to the basic lore of the factions and expand on the careers, it's not like it will take long to cross train anyway.
good job Pt3D |
