The Moddra-class was a series of battlecruisers built for the Navy of the Syaran Republic in the 1920s shortly after the Divide War. Intended to operate as a faster companion to the Galania-class battleships recently introduced, the Moddra-class's doctrinal role was largely overridden by the development of the Makedon-class battleship. Although a similar size and nearly as fast the Moddra-class featured ligther armor and fewer guns, leading the Syarans to maintain the designation as battlecruiser, although other naval powers regarded the ship as a fast battleship.

A total of 12 battlecruisers were intended to be built, but the outbreak of the Siduri War saw production cut and resources poured into finished the Zovahr-class battleships. Eight were ultimately finished; the Absolute Savior, Sacred Promise, Incorruptible Spirit, Divine Lawgiver, Cleansing Justice, Rapid Salvation, Pious Saint, and Resolute Absolution. The class saw extensive service in the Western Theater operating off the coast of Mansuriyyah and in the Sundering Sea Campaign. The war taxed the class heavily; the Incorruptible was heavily damaged in the Sundering Sea in the summer of 1935 and took until 1937 to repair. The Lawgiver and Rapid Salvation were sunk during the Battle of the Sabri Sea, and the Resolute Absolution was sunk off the coast of Quenmin while operating as a long distance commerce raider. The Absolute Savior was later sunk by bombers off the Mansui Coast while protecting the retreat of the Army of the Syaran Republic. The remaining four vessels, including the Incorruptible, were scuttled by the Syarans after the war, not far from the city of Moddra that the class took its namesake from.
