The ship was launched in 2472 and arrived in the Tau Ceti system in 2773.<ref name = "Lostpacket"> Marathon Lost Network Packets, https://marathon.bungie.org/story/bungie.html</ref>. | The Marathon was a colony ship, built by the [[UESC|United Nations Earth Council]] using Deimos as its frame <ref name="CRISTTERM">Marathon, Couch Fishing, Terminal 2, https://marathon.bungie.org/story/counterattack.html#4</ref>. Politically controversial at the time of its construction, the Marathon would take over 60 years to complete. Officially, the vessel was sent to the [[Tau Ceti System|Tau Ceti]] system in the hopes of establishing a colony. | ||

The Martian government sold Deimos to the UESC in 2395 at the height of its power. The vessel's preconstruction began in 2405. However, as the [[CRIST]] orbitals began to break down and fall into disrepair, the Mars colony began to economically implode. Rampant starvation and poverty struck the planet. <ref name = "CRISTTERM"/> | The Martian government sold Deimos to the UESC in 2395 at the height of its power.

Construction continued without issue as the planet below continued to fall onto harder and harder times. Martian citizens began to see the ship as a symbol of oppression by the UESC. They called for the ship to be made into a CRIST, but the concept was never seriously considered by the UESC. | Construction continued without issue as the planet below continued to fall onto harder and harder times.

The exact details of the Marathon's status are unknown during the Third Martian War. MIDA never took a serious effort to weaponize the ship. However, this would be known historically as one of their greatest missed opprotunities. <ref = " | The exact details of the Marathon's status are unknown during the Third Martian War.
