Product Description
This custom model is scaled to be suitable for fleet scale miniatures games such as Full Thrust.
This is essentially a mini Warlock. Use it at range for as long as possible. When in close it does have the same broadside weapons as the Warlock, but that isn't saying much for a ship this size. The Marathon has more damage points than an Apollo but is crippled more easily. So keep it out of brawling range and fly it like its big brother.
The Marathon cruiser was created using a mix of some of the most advanced technologies that Earthside R&D have been able to glean from several varied alien technologies – including Drakh, Shadowtech and even Minbari. Pushed forward to replace the Hyperion after the Drakh attack in 2266, the Marathon was never fully tested before being thrown into field service. It still contains several experimental systems whose testing facilities were still on Earth when the quarantine was put into effect, making it very hard to work out any bugs they might find.
The ship, even though it might have a few quirks that are constantly bothersome to its crew, is actually very powerful in its own right. Tough, fast, maneuverable and fitted with hull-slicing neutron cannons, the Marathon is a match for ships twice its size. It uses a very intuitive artificial intelligence to keep its many opposed technologies in synch as best it can, but of the dozen or so Marathons that left the space docks in 2266 and ’67, no crew can report that their ship’s brain has functioned perfectly.
