What has happened to the The Sargava Chalice now that Sargava is no more?
Is it a colonial project? or something that the free people of Vidrian would want to rename and bring back
Is there any adventure or module that has involved it in the past?

My understanding was the Sargava Chalice was a fundraiser to help pay tribute to the Shackles pirates. I doubt the new regime will continue the tradition without that justification.
thanks!

The new regime will still have to pay for its defense. Its alliances with Senghor and Ravounel are, even combined, less effective deterrents to invasion than Sargava's arrangement with the Free Captains. Moreover, they are mutual - Sargava was a protectorate, but Vidrian would need to come to its allies' aid if they are attacked, and would need forces available to do that. Canonically, Vidrian disposes of a large navy, which isn't cheap.
So it's not that the new regime's military requires less revenue than did the old. What's changed is that the new regime has new sources of revenue. Under majority rule, it can tax the elite of the ex-colonizers in a way and to a degree that the old (minoritarian, elite-dependent, and elite-servile) regime never could - and seize their property if they try to flee the jurisdiction. It is for this reason, and not the diminished need for revenue, that the new regime doesn't need to resort to the old's money-making schemes, though the effect of phasing out these schemes is the same.
What does free up some existing revenue is that the new regime needs to spend less on internal repression than did the old.
