In 17 B.E., the government of Vasgar collapsed. The country was invaded by the Union of Independent Republics, who overran the country and captured Porra. The city was used as a staging ground by the Fifteenth Furlin Cavalry before the beginning of the Siege of Anvil Gate. A group of vehicles was sent out of the city to capture an Imulsion refinery near the Kashkur border and Anvil Gate.
