Men's Republic Service Tattoo (Brutor)

typeID	59221
Mass	0.50 kg
Volume	0.10 m³
Category	Tattoos
Description	Military service with the Minmatar Republic can take many forms and a Matari's service can be marked by a style of military tattoo that may incorporate specific tribal iconography. Despite the Amarr occupation's wish to eradicate tattoo culture, and their particularly harsh treatment of many Brutor, the restoration of a Brutor Tribe culture from bits and pieces of surviving knowledge has been extensive. Most Brutor are traditionalist and observe clan and tribal tattoo culture very closely, making it common to see eligible tribe members wearing the specific Brutor variation of Republic service tattoos. As a founding tribe of the Minmatar Republic, and with many clans emphasizing martial culture, the Brutor provide large numbers of personnel to many military branches and paramilitary agencies. Brutor Tribe presence in the Republic Fleet and Republic Command is particularly high but they are readily found throughout security services, militias and law enforcement, such as the Republic Justice Department. Contrary to outsider stereotypes, the Brutor are not only physically capable but also highly intelligent and adaptable, often reaching the heights of senior office in their typically lengthy Republic service careers.

Men's Republic Service Tattoo (Krusual)

typeID	59228
Mass	0.50 kg
Volume	0.10 m³
Category	Tattoos
Description	Military service with the Minmatar Republic can take many forms and a Matari's service can be marked by a style of military tattoo that may incorporate specific tribal iconography. The Krusual Tribe is without doubt the Minmatar tribe that has the best preserved tattoo culture, having successfully withstood the Amarr occupation in a significant number of mountain fastnesses in its ancestral Tronhadar region on Matar. The Krusual are inclined to be very conservative, highly traditional and particularly aggressive in pursuit of the perquisites they believe are their due. While their clannish nature does not endear them to the other tribes, they see the value of the Republic and it is common enough to see eligible Krusual wearing their tribal variation of Republic service tattoos. Despite being a founder tribe of the Republic, the Krusual are not so well spread throughout the Minmatar regions in sheer numbers as other tribes. The Krusual are culturally disinclined to venture into space, preferring to settle themselves in suitable locations and expand their influence in cities and regions. On the other hand, the Krusual are highly motivated to protect the security of the Republic and provide significant numbers of ground fighters and intelligence operatives. The Krusual talent for espionage and covert operations, while viewed with suspicion by many other Minmatar, has served the Minmatar well and they naturally dominate the Republic Security Services.

Men's Republic Service Tattoo (Nefantar)

typeID	59232
Mass	0.50 kg
Volume	0.10 m³
Category	Tattoos
Description	Military service with the Minmatar Republic can take many forms and a Matari's service can be marked by a style of military tattoo that may incorporate specific tribal iconography. The Nefantar lack a well-developed Minmatar tattoo culture, having eschewed it in deference to their Amarr masters when virtually all Nefantar lived in the Ammatar Mandate. Since the defection of a large proportion of Nefantar to the Republic, bringing with them the Starkmanir they had shielded from the Amarr, there has been an effort to rediscover their tattoo culture. This has been complicated by many Nefantar remaining followers of the Amarr faith and the controversial subject of Amarr religious tattoos. Some Nefantar choose not to wear any tattoos but many are strongly motivated to assimilate with tribal culture and have joined Republic service. Nefantar who are eligible due to Republic service can sometimes be seen displaying the Nefantar variation of Republic service tattoos. While their numbers are relatively small compared to the large founder tribes of the Republic, the Nefantar are eager to show their loyalty to the Republic and many have entered Republic military and civil services of all kinds. The Nefantar are very well educated due to the defectors coming in large part from former Ammatar elites, upper-class, and middle-class families, but they tend not to flaunt this due to lingering prejudices among the other tribes. Keen to show their willingness to fight for the Republic, young Nefantar in particular aim to serve in the Republic Fleet or Republic Command.

Men's Republic Service Tattoo (Sebiestor)

typeID	59230
Mass	0.50 kg
Volume	0.10 m³
Category	Tattoos
Description	Military service with the Minmatar Republic can take many forms and a Matari's service can be marked by a style of military tattoo that may incorporate specific tribal iconography. As the largest of the Minmatar tribes, the Sebiestor have managed to restore a rich tattoo culture in the aftermath of the Great Rebellion and in the course of helping found and build the Minmatar Republic. Sebiestor culture is very diverse, with perhap fewer traditional strictures on internal dissent than the Brutor and much less conservatism than their Krusual rivals. Together with a tendency to smaller clans, making the sheer number of Sebiestor clans almost uncountable, the diverse tribal culture makes for a highly diverse tattoo culture. Sebiestor appreciate both the tradition and artistry of tattoos, and any eligible tribe members will often display the Sebiestor variation of Republic service tattoos. As the largest tribe and a founder member of the Minmatar Republic, the Sebiestor are a very common sight in Republic service of all kinds. While not as dominated by martial culture as the Brutor, the Sebiestor are deeply committed to the Republic's security and all means of preserving it. The presence of Sebiestor in military and civil services of the Republic is universal, though they are more evident in dominant numbers in the civil services, technical branches, and law enforcement, such as the Republic Justice Department.

Men's Republic Service Tattoo (Starkmanir)

typeID	59201
Mass	0.50 kg
Volume	0.10 m³
Category	Tattoos
Description	Military service with the Minmatar Republic can take many forms and a Matari's service can be marked by a style of military tattoo that may incorporate specific tribal iconography. Owing to their near-destruction and subsequent hidden existence under the Amarr, the Starkmanir Tribe's tattoo culture has been almost entirely lost and is in the process of being reconstructed by cultural historians and archaeologists. Many Starkmanir do not observe any kind of tattoo culture but those who do, and are eligible, may chose to display the specific Starkmanir variation of Republic service tattoos. Since their return to the Minmatar Republic, the vast majority of the Starkmanir have settled in the large cities or on lands set aside for them to found new towns by the Republic's Urban Management agency. Despite their numbers being low, a significant number of young Starkmanir have followed the martial example of their Brutor Tribe patrons and entered service with military branches such as the Republic Fleet or Republic Command. Starkmanir recruits are valued for being well educated, an ironic consequence of all those of age having been schooled in the Ammatar Mandate while "hidden in plain view" from the Amarr.

Men's Republic Service Tattoo (Thukker)

typeID	59199
Mass	0.50 kg
Volume	0.10 m³
Category	Tattoos
Description	Military service with the Minmatar Republic can take many forms and a Matari's service can be marked by a style of military tattoo that may incorporate specific tribal iconography. Thukker Tribe tattoo culture is far looser than most other tribes, with many Thukker even omitting the Voluval Ritual from their personal journey within Minmatar culture. While the other tribes regard the Thukker as eccentric in this regard they respect the cultural mores of their fellow Minmatar. Those Thukker who do wear tattoos may chose to display the specific Thukker variation of Republic service tattoos if eligible. While most Thukker live and work aboard the nomadic Great Caravans, offshoot caravans, and stations and outposts in the Great Wildlands, many live in the Republic proper and some enter service with military and paramilitary branches like the Republic Fleet, Republic Security Services, or Republic Justice Department. The rare Thukker pilots and scouts who enter Republic service from caravan life are in particularly high demand for their skills.

Men's Republic Service Tattoo (Vherokior)

typeID	59226
Mass	0.50 kg
Volume	0.10 m³
Category	Tattoos
Description	Military service with the Minmatar Republic can take many forms and a Matari's service can be marked by a style of military tattoo that may incorporate specific tribal iconography. Much of the Vherokior Tribe's tattoo culture was preserved by the Vherokior shamans who also safeguarded the mysteries of the Voluval Ritual during the Amarr Occupation. While the structure of Vherokior tribal culture is notably different in many respects to other tribes, for example in the greater emphasis on matriarchal family units than large clans, they are a founder tribe of the Minmatar Republic. Therefore it is not unusual to see eligible Vherokior wearing their specific tribal variation of Republic service tattoos. The Vherokior have a long history as a nomadic tribe but in the Republic era have transitioned to a culture that is marked more by its ubiquity in Minmatar territories as a widely-diffused diaspora based on the family unit. The cultural identity as Vherokior remains vitally important and aspects of the older, deeper ways continue to be upheld, with some choosing to take the path of the shamanic tradition. More common is the temporary nomadism of youth that leads many to take up an itinerant lifestyle for a time. Quite a large number of Vherokior channel the nomadic impulse into a life in service with the Republic Fleet, although many tend to retire early and settle into a life of running small businesses or living in co-operative circles.

Sleeve - 'Drone' (left)

typeID	33377
Volume	0.10 m³
Category	Tattoos
Description	After they merged with the controls of gargantuan space vessels and moved beyond the confines of death itself, it's an open question whether capsuleers can even be considered purely human. This tattoo resembles one of New Eden's most nightmarish creatures, a relentless force of destruction whose mind has become entirely alien to the civilizations of New Eden. It's no wonder some capsuleers feel a strange fellowship with them.

Sleeve - 'Nature' (left)

typeID	33380
Volume	0.10 m³
Category	Tattoos
Description	Amidst all the carnage they see (and sometimes create), capsuleers also rejoice in the beauty of the natural world. In this tattoo, some see the Achuran songbird flitting through the air, amidst the trills of song. Some see the Slaver Hound, its senses like deadly radar, leaping over the grounds of a sunbaked colony. Some even see a thousand stars looking down on living planets hurtling through their orbits. And a few, because there's always a few of that sort, doggedly persist in seeing a Fedo.

Sleeve - 'Prototype' (left)

typeID	33379
Volume	0.10 m³
Category	Tattoos
Description	The entwining of human and machine defines a capsuleer's life - each can't function without the other - and it may be argued that together they compose a new organism, one that shucks off both of its skins for fresh ones when needed. Some capsuleers try to express that even though parts of them are composed of machinery - from the implants in their heads all the way up to the massive ships they control - all of it is really only a cover for a human being. Or the other way around.

typeID	33378
Volume	0.10 m³
Category	Tattoos
Description	For an immortal master of dangerous technological wonders, it can be hard to retain or even recall the connection to the natural cycle of life. This tattoo is a reminder that death for a capsuleer, though only fleeting, is omnipresent and will always leave its mark, and that one person's precious, perfect engine of war will eventually - through accident, scheming, or a second's forgetfulness - become someone else's wreckage to calmly pick clean.
