The Slocova-class destroyer was a class of destroyers built by the Republic of Syara. They were the fastest surface warships ever fielded by Navy of the Syaran Republic, and were the fastest destroyers of the Siduri War.
First designed in 1930, the class entered into production in 1932 as a destroyer intended to accompany heavier warships on major operations, while also serving as fleet and convoy escorts. A total of 50 were planned to be built, but only 25 were built by the time of the invasion of Ruvelka. An additional 14 were produced during the war, which was made more difficult by their large size and cost, and the envisioned 50 vessels was never achieved before production halted and the war ended. Out of 39 ships produced, 26 were lost in the war. Six more were retained during the Occupation of Syara before the class was decommissioned in 1949.
