No pics yet, but they do have the fluff posted:

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, manoeuvrable 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 spacedocks in 2266 and ?67, no crew can report that their ship?s brain has functioned perfectly.
