Marathon Class Heavy Cruiser | Most Detailed Breakdown

In this episode, we breakdown one of the most recognisable but frustratingly illusive UNSC Ships in existence. While specific details on the Marathon are limited, the extensive lore available to us comes from it's predecessor, successor, and many technologies and systems we already have abundant lore on, with some STEM field subjects referenced and heavily considered for speculative, educated analyses purposes.
