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.

The Ammatar Mandate, in the San-Matar domain, is semi-autonomous. Their government and society reflects that of the Empire with a governor at the head and district officials beneath him prescribing over the various departments of Mandate. These heads of government are always Ammatar, but traditionally the Ammatar Governor is an Amarr which acts as the supreme representative of the Amarr Empire.

The Ammatar rulers have full domestic control, but their foreign policies must have the consent of the Amarrians and their military forces are, nominally, under the authority of the Amarrians. The relationship of the two has been remarkably smooth in the past, with no serious quarrels.

The Ammatar Governor, also known as Governor or Heir of the Mandate, is the highest representative in the Ammatar Mandate at imperial level of the Amarrian monarch. They maintain the supreme executive power of the Mandate. The functions and roles of the Governor include appointing government officials, issuing writs for bestowing honours. The Governor is also the Commander-in-Chief of the Ammatar Fleet and appoints the Grand Admiral of the Fleet. The Governor appoints the head of government the Ammatar Consulate Governor. This leads occasionally to some confusion, as in the news there is often no direct distinction between the two; but rule is that: 'The head of government are always Ammatar and the governor himself traditionally is an Amarrian'. The current Ammatar Governor is Yonis Ardishapur.

The Ammatars have a semi-sovereign state bound to the Amarrians. The Ammatar Consulate is the highest governmental office for the Ammatars and takes care of the general running of the Ammatar state. The head of the Ammatar Consulate is the Ammatar Consulate Governor, also know as just Consulate Governor or Governor. It is manned by Ammatars, but they all bow to the Ammatar governor, which is traditionally an Amarrian. The capital city and the seat of the Ammatar Consulate Governor is Sandruez. The current Ammatar Consulate Governor is Ekroz Salaf.

The Ammatar have abandoned much of their tribal culture and fully embraced that of the Amarr. The Ammatar walk all forms of life from holders to commoners. Though having proven their loyalty to the Amarr Empire, Ammatar holders and others high in status of the Ammatar Mandate are lower in status of anyone in power or has power in the Amarr Empire. Thus they must bow to even the lowest of the Amarr holders.

Ammatar Fleet The Ammatar Fleet, currently commanded by Grand Admiral Hastar Jibril, serves as the main military force of the Ammatar Mandate. The Ammatar Fleet is also a subordinate to the command of the Amarr Empire. The Amarrians allow the Ammatars to operate their own fleet. The Amarr knowing that the fleet will be employed against the Minmatars that would otherwise harass the Amarr Empire. The Ammatar Fleet is neither big nor sophisticated, but it's strong enough to keep the Minmatars at bay.

In YC 110, a large portion of the Fleet was in disarray with some completely destroyed by the Elder task forces and others defecting, even aiding Elder task forces, to the Minmatar Republic as Nefantar Tribe ships. Six months after the Elder Invasion, Yonis Ardishapur arrested Grand Admiral Einkur Aro for dereliction of duty, failure to prevent mutiny, and treason. He plead guilty for his crimes and was later executed and his family of a wife, three sons, and two daughters was purchased by Yonis Ardishapur's nephew Arim. In YC 111, Admiral Hastar Jibril was appointed to Grand Admiral of the Fleet and gave numerous promotions to Ammatars that gave tremendous amount of heroism and decisiveness against the Elder Fleet during the disarray. Some of Ardishapur Fleet was absorbed into the Ammatar Fleet to boost the morale and ships lost in the destruction by Elder task forces or desertion.
