The Anvil functioned as an EF76 Nebulon-B escort frigate within the ranks of the Alliance to Restore the Republic throughout the duration of the Galactic Civil War. This warship was responsible for gathering survivors from the annihilated Mon Calamari cruiser named Maximus. Shortly after this rescue, due to a requirement for provisions, it experienced a boarding action conducted by the CR90 corvette known as [Lauhu]. However, during this resupply, it faced peril from an offensive initiated by the Imperial escort frigate [Firelance]. This assault inflicted substantial damage upon the frigate, precluding any possibility of repair. The Imperial CR90 corvette Viper was on patrol in the vicinity for its assigned fleet. After the frigate was completely emptied of all personnel, the corvette Hart dispatched transports to retrieve everyone. Subsequently, complying with directives, Rebel pilot Keyan Farlander annihilated what remained of the frigate, ensuring it would not be captured by the Empire.
