Marathon-class Heavy Cruiser

First introduced in Halo 2, the Marathon-class heavy cruiser made its debut among the handful of ships patrolling around Cairo Station in the opening cinematic. As one of the earliest cruiser designs in the Halo series, it holds a significant place in the lore of the UNSC fleet. In Sins of the Prophets 2, we've taken special care to give the Marathon-class heavy cruiser a deserving update. This revamped design not only pays homage to its iconic status but also introduces a fresh interpretation that aligns with modern standards. Our team has crafted a new model from the ground up, leveraging our latest material pipeline to ensure the ship's appearance is both visually striking and faithful to its original essence.
