These behemoths, clocking in at 1192 meters, approximately two and a half times the length of a [[UNSC Frigate]], sport at least three [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]]s (according to an outline of the ''Marathon'' classification), probably amongst other armaments. They are also known for their heavy armor - they can survive multiple [[plasma torpedo]] impacts, far greater damage than any [[UNSC Frigate]], UNSC Halycon class cruisers or [[UNSC Destroyer]] can sustain. | These behemoths, clocking in at 1192 meters, approximately two and a half times the length of a [[UNSC Frigate]], sport at least three [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]]s (according to an outline of the ''Marathon'' classification), probably amongst other armaments.
