Seeker of Glory was a Sarhadi-class cruiser fielded by the Navy of the Syaran Republic from 1928 to 1935. Like the rest of her class the Seeker of Glory was considered by some to be a heavy cruiser, but the Republic of Syara considered it a standard cruiser. The Seeker of Glory was lightly armored, but posessed a high speed and heavy armarment. Following the outbreak of the Siduri War she was assigned to the Sundering Fleet and saw extensive action during the Sundering Sea Campaign. She sailed out with the rest of the National Fleet in the lead up to the Battle of the Sabri Sea and was assigned to the Forward Cluster.
On 22 November the Seeker took part in early engagements with the Cacertian Southern Fleet. Due to miscommunication the ship did not recieve the order to withdraw and continued to engage the Cacertian rearguard, inflicting minor damage on the Cacertian destroyer Modica before it reversed course and returned to the rest of the Syaran Fleet. Two days later the Seeker of Glory engaged elements of the 1st Battleship Division with the rest of the Forward Cluster, targetting the battleship Adriana Acciailo. The move proved fatal, as the Syaran cruiser found itself under fire from the Adriana and the battleship Romigi Fiesi, suffering more than a dozen impacts. The Cacertian heavy guns punctured the thin armor of the Seeker of Glory while destroying most of the superstructure and armarment, leaving the ship a burning wreck. She slipped under the waves at 07:23, taking 591 of her crew with her.
