The Proto-Taxic Migration Period, also commonly referred to as the Proto-Taxic Invasions, is a term used for the period in Vatupic history when the Proto-Taxic peoples began migrating in large numbers outwards from their home in Taxata. The sparking incident for the rapid exodus from Taxata is debated, but most scholars agree it was due to widespread famine and plague following a period of rapid population growth. However, because it was unlikely for such conditions to last the almost 200-year duration of the Migration Period, historians speculate that later waves of migration were motivated by cultural reasons as opposed to merely for survival. The rapid influx of non-Aunic peoples was a major destabilizing factor in the late Aunic Empire of the 4th century, especially in the east, where the majority of the Proto-Taxics settled. The Proto-Taxic Invasions are traditionally considered to have begun in the early 4th century and ended in 483 with the establishment of the Mirati Confederation.

In 364, a particularly large Proto-Taxic host overran the fortress of Manava, which was a border city and the Aunic Empire's most eastern major population center. They engaged several Aunic armies and defeated them, and continued westwards over the course of a year until they were defeated and dispersed somewhere in modern-day Tiepu.
