|mass=100,000 tons<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 53''</ref><ref group ="note">''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx'' states that the ''Marathon''-class cruiser has a mass of 100,000 tons. However, given that the ''Marathon''-class is over 3.5 times longer than a modern [[Wikipedia:Nimitz class aircraft carrier|''Nimitz'' class aircraft carrier]], which also has a mass of 100,000 tons, as well as being nearly four times wider and many times taller, this tonnage seems unrealistic. Though this mass figure is perhaps a result of future construction materials or weight-saving design, it is more likely an oversight by [[Eric Nylund]].</ref> | |||
