Marathon-class heavy cruiser: Difference between revisions

Due to their diminishing numbers and the onslaught of the genocidal [[Covenant]], further numbers of these great cruisers have been reassigned to the defense of the [[Inner Colonies]]. They were considered extremely valuable in terms of fire power and armor, and it was seen to by the UNSC admirality that they were only used in the most dire and occasional of circumstances. ''Marathon''s were present at the [[Battle of Sigma Octanus IV]] and the [[Battle of Reach]]. Twelve saw action at the [[First Battle of Earth]] under [[Fleet Admiral]] [[Harper]] and another was part of [[Battle Group Stalingrad|Battle Group ''Stalingrad'']] during the [[Battle of Onyx]]. It's likely that some were also engaged at the [[Second Battle of Earth]]
