The Second Siege of Porus Vida represents a significant engagement within the Second Alsakan Conflict. This battle involved the Galactic Republic worlds of Coruscant and Alsakan, alongside their respective allied factions. The location of this siege was the planet Porus Vida, with the events unfolding around 16,100 BBY. The Second Alsakan Conflict continued for an additional seven hundred years after this particular confrontation.
The Alsakan Conflicts encompassed a series of wars that spanned fourteen millennia. These conflicts centered on the struggle for political dominance within the Galactic Republic, primarily between its capital world Coruscant and the planet Alsakan, along with their various allies. Among Coruscant's allies were the Grand Companies, trading entities supported by Coruscant and situated along the hyperlane known as the Spin. The planet Porus Vida, located in the Inner Rim, resided within a region actively managed by the Grand Companies. Crucially, it also sat at the intersection of a hyperlane controlled by Alsakan and another hyperspace route that was either contested or considered neutral during the conflict.
The Second Siege of Porus Vida transpired on the planet around 16,100 BBY. This event was an early battle in the Second Alsakan Conflict, a war that had begun a century prior. This particular siege marked the second time that the planet experienced combat in the context of the Alsakan Conflicts, following the first siege which occurred over seven centuries earlier, during the First Conflict.
In the wake of the Second Siege of Porus Vida, the Second Alsakan Conflict persisted for another seven hundred years.
The Second Siege of Porus Vida made its debut in the 2012 reference publication The Essential Guide to Warfare, with authorship attributed to Jason Fry and Paul R. Urquhart.
