The Minmatar discovered space flight in 21413 AD, and spent the next several centuries exploring and colonizing. Unlike the other races, they did not construct their own stargates. Instead, they found several still-working gates and used them to expand across three systems. They also developed a unique form of faster-than-light travel that was only later copied by the other races, the acceleration gate.

The Minmatar spent the next several centuries living in peace and prosperity. Unlike the other nations, they felt no need to expand beyond their limited reach. This proved to be to their detriment, as the Amarr discovered them and invaded in 22355 AD. Technologically superior to the Minmatar, the Amarr were able to cripple the Minmatar defenses and ~~[[slavery|~~enslaved]] millions in an event known as the Day of Darkness. Over the following centuries, the majority of the Minmatar would be enslaved by the Empire.

It wasn't until 23216 AD that the Minmatar were able to rebel against the Amarr and regain their freedom. This required the assistance of the Gallente and a fortuitous Amarr loss in the Battle of Vak'Atioth. However, the Minmatar were able to drive the Amarr out of their home space and take additional territory on top of that, giving them a strong foundation from which to rebuild their culture.
