Rapid Salvation was a Moddra-class battlecruiser fielded by the Navy of the Syaran Republic. Launched in 1929, the Rapid Salvation was sometimes labeled as a battleship along with her sisters by foreign observers.
Following the outbreak of the Siduri War Rapid Salvation saw extensive service as a commerce raider far into the Nuadan Ocean and the Sundering Sea, sinking more than a dozen vessels. She received minor damage in the Sundering Sea during September 1935 but was repaired just in time to take part in Operation Scylla against the Cacertian territory of Andria. Assigned to Psi Cluster for the Battle of the Sabri Sea, Rapid Salvation engaged elements of the Andria Fleet in the morning of 24 November. Things went poorly from the start; she was struck by a friendly torpedo from the destroyer Tempest which undercut her steering and limited her functionality of her rudders. With limited maneuverability the battlecruiser made for an easy target for the Cacertian battleships, who struck her more than 20 times. She sank at 08:10, taking all but 329 of her crew with her.
