The Nemtya-class cruiser was a class of cruisers built by the Republic of Syara. They were built as part of the Cruiser Race to assist the Navy of the Syaran Republic in challenging the Cacertian Royal Navy. A total of 12 were planned, of which 11 were completed. The final vessel was cancelled following a series of accidents during construction. The 11 completed vessels were the Restless Sentinel, Serene Certainty, Infinite Fire, Promised Devotion, Ascendant Justice, Valorous Salvation, Glory Seeker, Quiet Lament, Sacred Heart, Vengeful Follower, and Inspired Spirit.
Although classified as a standard cruiser, the Nemtya-class was sometimes considered a light cruiser by some foreign navies due to its light armor. The class saw extensive service during the Siduri War. Promised Devotion, Valorous Salvation, and Ascendant Justice were lost in the Battle of the Sabri Sea. Quiet Lament was sunk in action against the Royal Tennaiite Navy in 1935, and Vengeful Follower was sunk in the Sundering Sea Campaign. Vengeful Follower and Inspired Spirit were lost in the Nuandan Campaign. The Syarans scuttled the Sacred Heart and Glory Seeker, while the Restless Sentinel was recovered by the Cacertians. It was eventually returned to the Syarans and was decommissioned in 1950.
