The Ammatar, formerly the members of the Nefantar Tribe, are collaborators that worked extensively with Imperial agents when the Amarr Empire invaded Minmatar space. The Nefantars fled Minmatar space during the Minmatar Rebellion and the Amarr Emperor allowed them to set up in Amarr controlled areas close to Minmatar space. It was the Gallenteans that gave the name 'Ammatar', to distinguish them from the Minmatar, which was soon adopted by others. Today, the Ammatars enjoy a semi-autonomy in their own space but are constantly at a state of war with their former Minmatar brethren.
