“Throughout history, the militaries of civilizations have created soldiers from the ranks of the able-bodied in their societies. The Minmatar, having lost most of their able-bodied to death or slavery, tried this approach and found the results unsatisfactory for their own special needs. Instead, they took their most notorious villains— their thieves, schemers, and murderers—and turned them into soldiers. They called these men ‘Valklears’.” - Federal Intelligence Office Archives (classified), Document NJ-F22, “History of Minmatar Infantry Development”
