It has been over a year since the release of v0.90 Warlords, and what a year it has been. In the span of time since that last update quite a lot has happened, all during an ongoing pandemic, and we would like to finally delve into what we have been up to!

Hey folks. I know there's not been a video for 2 weeks. I've been focusing 100% of my attention of my magnum opus, the Marathon Most Detailed Breakdown, a video nearly 3 hours long, packed with ultra deep lore and ultra high level Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics whilst honouring what we know and reasonably speculating on what we don't. I want this video to be the new defining metric of what a Most Detailed Breakdown is supposed to be. I've sourced high quality renders, models, designs, concept art, details and advice from some pillars of the community including the folks at Sins of the Prophets, Halo Reach Slipspace Mod, Halopedia, and official concept artists and illustrators from Warfleet and beyond. All of this is being mixed seamlessly with educational resources to fully visualise and explain everything about the ship including complex scientific principles like the process of fusion within the ships reactor, the metallurgy of the Titanium-A Armour and the quantum physics of the Slipspace Drive so that it truly is a 3 hour journey of discovery. Thank you for your continued patience. I hope what I finally deliver will be worth the wait!

In the early years of the war, the UNSC faced devastating defeats, with even their biggest victories coming at a high cost. The overwhelming power of Covenant capital ships necessitated a powerful countermeasure: the Artemis-class Battlecruiser.

The Valiant is a powerful class of capital warship serving in the UNSC Navy, with the Everest, flagship of Vice Admiral Preston J. Cole, being the most famous.

The Flight I Halcyon design was largely unsuccessful, leading to the creation of a revised Flight II. These refit hulls featured reduced armor coverage and internal bracing to decrease mass and construction costs to address earlier shortcomings.

Marathon-class heavy cruisers stand as the primary line warships of the UNSC fleet. Introduced in the years leading up to the Covenant War, they formed the backbone of every naval battlegroup from first contact in 2525 to victory in 2552.

𝗛𝗮𝗹𝗰𝘆𝗼𝗻 𝗗𝗮𝘆𝘀

Introduced at the peak of the Insurrection, the Halcyon-class quickly became infamous within the Navy for being under-gunned and sluggish, offering minimal value to the fleet. Consequently, they were decommissioned almost as soon as they entered service.

𝗪𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴

Introduced in 2549, the Winter-class is the latest addition to ONI's roster of prowler stealth ships. It is the smallest prowler in the fleet at 82m in length, nearly twice that of their "subprowler" cousins.

An innovation of the 2530s, the Anansi-class frigate was engineered by SinoViet Heavy Industries in conjunction with Chalybs Defense Solutions as part of an initiative aimed at finding counters to Covenant plasma weaponry.

@HashionDiscord We don't publish our assets in 3D viewers, because unfortunately people tend to rip the files from them; however, we do provide orthographic and perspective renders for all our assets as reference material for anyone that wants to use them.

The Charon-class Light Frigate is one of SinoViet's premiere frigate classes, with a focus on transporting and supporting ground forces in addition to its role as a fleet escort ship.

While this endeavor did not pan out as initially hoped, the frigates did gain an important role in the fleet as electronic warfare and support ships, screening the fleet and interfering with the Covenant's ability to maintain accurate targeting and cohesion.

The Stalwart-class Light Frigate is a fleet escort ship in the UNSCN, with a particular emphasis on air-defence. It boasts a massive complement of Bulwark point-defence guns and Streak intercept missiles for fending off small craft and missiles.

Entering service in 2523, the Paris-class Heavy Frigate quickly became distinguished and prominently saw action throughout the Covenant War. They would go on to become some of the most frequently fielded frigates, some surviving to the post-war era.

The smallest in the UNSC's line of carriers, the Ankara-class is first and foremost an assault troop transport ship, with utility as a convoy escort. Its air wing is primarily composed of dropships and orbit-to-surface heavy lift vehicles.

Introduced in 2433, the Diligence-class was originally a line of patrol cruisers famous across the colonies flanked by missile frigates. In 2486 they were subject to a series of mid-life refits, augmenting their armor protection and firepower.

@GoingNowhere117 We have plans to publish a team maintained public wiki, that will include all the corresponding lore, specs, and gameplay stats/details for every ship. Right now though, there's nothing besides what we publish in lore articles or posts.

These ships proved vital during the Insurrection, where decades of preparation for a peer conflict were swept aside in favor of bitter counterinsurgencies. In this capacity, Ankaras could augment larger carrier battlegroups and free up larger assets for more vital deployments.
