Minimala is one of the oldest serving officers with the Guristas Pirates, and his skills in combat are legendary among the ranks of both the Guristas and their adversaries. Born in YC 44, and having served for almost three decades with the Caldari Navy, Vepas defected after he was denied the rank of admiral during a review of his combat performance. Joining the Guristas in YC 94 at age fifty-one, shortly after their formation, he worked alongside Jirai Laitanen to plan some of their most dangerous missions behind state lines over their first ten years of operation and was instrumental in the development of many of the tactics still used by the Guristas to this day.
Now in his seventies, he is still often seen in combat due to his lust for glory, and he is regarded to this day to be one of the most formidable pilots ever to fly with the Guristas.
