Mirip Pag held the position of gunnery officer, a male Iotran, on the pirate Urias Xhaxin's vessel, the EF76 Nebulon-B escort frigate known as the Free Lance, throughout the duration of the Yuuzhan Vong War.
During the year 25 ABY, Mirip found himself aboard the Free Lance as it came under assault from the forces of the Yuuzhan Vong. Pag made the unsettling observation that the Yuuzhan Vong ships were capable of absorbing the energy weapons fired by the Free Lance.
