The [[UNSC]] ''Marathon-class'' cruisers have remained in service for decades as the most modern cruiser yet known in the UNSC, however, due to their diminishing numbers in the face of the [[Covenant]], Marathon-class cruisers are increasingly being pulled back to defend the innermost colonies.


''Marathon-class'' cruisers were the replacement to the similar but vastly more expensive ''[[Halcyon-class]]'' cruisers. They are more favorable because they are larger (estimated at one and a half kilometers in length) and of their supprisingly low cost to build.
The [[UNSC]] '''''Marathon''-class Cruiser''' is the most powerful warship in the [[UNSC]] fleet. They were the replacement for the aging [[Halycon-class Cruiser|''Halycon''-class Cruiser]]. However, due to their diminishing numbers, furhter numbers of these great vessels have been retrograded to the [[Inner Colonies]].


''Marathon-class'' cruisers are the most formidable vessal in the UNSC. Sporting at least three [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]]s, over 1000 [[Archer Missiles]], and three-four meters of [[Titanium A armour]] plate. As well as a complement of [[Pelican]] dropships, [[C709 Longsword starfighter]]s, and a detachment of [[Marines]], and [[ODST]] troopers.
