The Syara-class battleship was a series of dreadnought battleships built by the Republic of Syara. It was the first dreadnought utilized by the Navy of the Syaran Republic, built in response to the introduction of the HMS Eerika Waterly-Davion by the Cacertian Empire. Seven were ultimately built between 1906-1916 (Child of Nature, Shadows and Light, Eternally Kept Vigil, Salvation in Purpose, Redeemer of Souls, Measure of Faith, Unbroken Sacred Service).
Introduced in 1906, a total of 12 were planned but the outbreak of the Syaran-Ruvelkan War delayed production, which wasn't completed until 1913. It was the most numerous battleship class availble to the Syaran Navy upon the outbreak of the Divide War in 1916. Salvation in Purpose was sunk in 1916, while Shadows of Light was heavily damaged in 1918 and eventually scrapped. Production of the class was continued after the war ended in 1918, but by then changes in technology and naval doctrine resulted in deferrment to development of the Galania-class battleship. The remaining Syara-class ships remained in service into the Siduri War, where they served primary as convoy escorts in the Nuandan Ocean and Sundering Sea. Child of Nature and Measure of Faith both survived the war, but were sold and broken up for scrap in the 1940s during the Broken Years.
