This construction, consisting of rows of pellets set onto colorful pins, once allowed Ni-Kunni mathematicians and natural philosophers to perform highly complex calculations. Its use faded into memory, as most things do, only to be rediscovered as a tool with which to teach students the particulars of certain highly abstract three-dimensional calculations required for space flight. The number box's pins are placed both horizontally and vertically, so the pellets can be slid along a triple axis; the box is also, to the relief of some teachers, heavy and solid enough to hit a student firmly over the head if he still can't grasp the math.

Crafted in illicit child labor factories, this counterfeit ammo is designed to mirror the ammo utilized in the Minmatar Navy in look, feel, and power. Because of its black market creation, though, the ammo is highly unstable, and not suitable for use in any ship. Black marketers make a modest fortune selling this ammo to unsuspecting customers with no eye for high-powered munitions.

X-Rated Holo-Vid reels are a popular type of personal entertainment, especially in Gallente territories.  These type of Holoreels are strictly forbidden in the Amarr Empire and Khanid Kingdom.

This fragile Khumaak appears to be over a century old, and could perhaps date back to the Starkmanir rebellion itself. There are unique markings along the side; tiny holes that appear to have fastened the scepter to a wall at one point. In the centre of the flared orb there is another unique distinguishing mark, the visage of an Amarrian man draped in the robes of a Saint. His name, Torus Arzad, is not mentioned in any contemporary history, Amarrian or otherwise. Below his face a single line of text reads: "Understand His mercy, and you will know enough."

These keys are used by many corporations in the Caldari State to more easily and efficiently identify the bearer as a trusted employee, often granting them access to exclusive or classified information.

This holoreel is a promotional reel from Quafe Corp, produced to advertise QuafeUltra. The reel has been universally panned by critics for what is perceived by many as intensely lurid subject matter.  One scene that's caused an uproar among various fundamentalist factions involves two of the main characters, Amarr girl Nadira and Brutor male Okar, engaging in a bout of severely salty reparte'e immediately followed by quite obviously-hinted-at sexual activity.  In another, the Gallente protagonist, a comely young female, enjoys a sultry dance with two other girls, culminating in a show of half-naked flesh that sent mothers everywhere lunging for their children's eyes.  Mentions and displays of Quafe Ultra during the reel's 89-minute running time number around 110, resulting in an average of 1.23 not-so-hidden advertisements per minute of the film's running time - another reason, critics say, to throw this reel into the jettison canister where it belongs.

This complicated stream of data seems to be in trinary language. It appears to be of Jovian origin.

Tribal sponsorship is a longstanding tradition within the Minmatar Republic. Typically sponsorship is sought by an individual before embarking on a journey away from their tribe, or as part of a corporation's employment process. After a sometimes lengthy approval process, a Minmatar is then able to proceed with the full support of their tribal peers. Typically, a citizen of the Republic will seek sponsorship from only their family tribe, and this is usually sufficient to last their lifetime, barring any dramatic changes. In some rare circumstances, sponsorship is granted from all of the seven tribes to particularly promising individuals. In the unique case of the capsuleers, the seven tribes of the Republic have agreed to blanket-issue sponsorships as an attempt to encourage loyalty and cooperation.

An ancient board game said to have been devised by the Ni-Kunni, this game was reputedly used for anything from entertainment on long ship hauls to deciding the fates of battles. Pieces in ancient times were made of wood or bone, but now most often consist of polymer compounds cast into intricate shapes. The game is easy to learn, hard to master, and really stupid to bet on.

A tattered document, presumably a part of a larger manuscript. The text is written neatly, though much of it is faded. An excerpt from this piece, titled "Chapter 37 - The Fire in Our Hearts" reads as follows: "Lord Arkon Ardishapur, though a longtime friend of Arzad, oversaw the popular Holder's execution for treason and blasphemy. Arzad had requisitioned an Amarr symbol of authority, a scepter,  as a symbol for lowly slaves. Arzad's granted the scepter to his slaves as a symbol for enlightenment and salvation. Ardishapur ordered that all copies of this scepter - dubbed Wildfire scepters for its blood obsidian orb, a rock native to Starkman Prime - be destroyed. The Starkmanir were angry at his execution. Arzad's book of sermons inspired the troubled tribe. "Three months after his death, Arzad appeared to Drupar Maak while the slave was alone in the fields. The Starkmanir youth was afraid at first, though once he saw the shimmering eyes of his former Holder, he was at peace. Arzad handed a Wildfire scepter to Maak, telling him, 'The fire in our hearts burns for salvation, redemption, and grace. May the Word of God grant you the courage to save yourself and your people.' With those words, Arzad disappeared, but the scepter was still with Maak. Years later, he would wield a similar item and avenge the death of his beloved Holder on the day of Khu-arzad. After that day, the scepter would be forever known as Khumaak."

A tattered document, presumably a part of a larger manuscript. The text is written neatly, though much of it is faded. An excerpt from this piece, titled "Chapter 12 - The Education of the Starkmanir" reads as follows: "By the end of his tenth year as Holder on Starkman Prime, Arzad had finished the educational infrastructure for the Starkmanir with the establishment of the final slave college on his continent. The focus of these education centers, aimed at young members of the Starkmanir tribes, was in assimilating the slaves into the greater Amarr society. The focus was primarily in basic business matters, science and technology, and all aspects of the Amarr religion. Attendance at this school was not entirely elective, and slaves were given time to study, though they would often have to make up for lost time in the fields. Despite this, many Starkmanir entered into the slave colleges in order to better their station in life, especially with respect to the high, holy Amarr religion. "The Starkmanir also educated their beloved Holder in kind, as well as other members of the Hamri family. The tradeoff in education was often mutual between the tribal leaders and Arzad. When the slave colleges began teaching business matters, the Holder learned ancient Starkmanir woodworking; astronomy education led to the Starkmanir martial arts; and the teaching of the Amarr religion initiated Arzad's own edification of the Starkmanir's tribal spiritualism."

A tattered document, presumably a part of a larger manuscript. The text is written neatly, though much of it is faded. An excerpt from this piece, titled "Chapter 6 - The Benevolent" reads as follows: "The fields and hills of Starkman Prime are harsh and demanding, especially for those working indentured servants tied directly to the land by the holy bonds of slavery. Arzad Hamri understood their plight and pitied them. As a boy, he would often work alongside the Starkmanir in the fields, immersing himself with the tribe to better understand their customs and traditions, much to the chagrin of his father and elders. "As a Holder, Arzad offered many forms of restitution and bereavement for the Starkmanir during their often long and difficult days. Regular rest periods were common during his rule, as well as days of parlay and rest, including high holy days and other Amarr religious festivals, deeming these occasions to be too holy. The Starkmanir loved him for these decisions, often working extra hours when necessary because they respected Arzad and wished for him to be pleased with their efforts."

This stimulating aromatic drink, made out of dried, roasted and ground seeds, is a particular favorite among scientists and software engineers.

Only recently created by act of Sanmatar Shakor, the Sword of Pator is the highest honor that can be awarded capsuleers for service to the Republic. At least four of the seven tribes must be in agreement before it can be awarded, making its conferment a rare and auspicious occasion.   "Tribe, clan, and family. Together, they are our home. And when they are taken, we will stop at nothing to reclaim them." - Excerpt from Starkmanir Oral History

Created in the early days of the Caldari-Gallente War, the Steel Order of the Cold was awarded to those brave men and women who sacrificed themselves for the Caldari people. It is the greatest capsuleer honor that can be awarded in the State, being given to those who stand resolute and persevere despite all risk. "Does it matter if we are remembered? Our sacrifice matters." - Admiral Yakiya Tovil-Toba's last speech

The Star of the Sefrim is awarded to those who go above and beyond the call of duty in service to the Empire, particularly those whose actions place them into mortal danger. While capsuleers rarely risk permanent death, the Empire sometimes acknowledges the loss of body regardless. "From on high, they came with wisdom and mercy. They delivered greatness to the people. But when provoked, their wroth was immutable."- The Scriptures, Book of Missions, 45:3
