was a replacement for the ageing Marathon and the even older Halcyon cruisers. It was designed in keeping with what human and Sangheili tacticians imagined for the future of warefare. Columns of human vessels exchanging MAC rounds with Remnant broadsides. The Thor was designed to support this, bringing in two Heavy MAC guns for engaging and destroying Covenant capital ships at range. While it couldn't go toe with the popular CCS-class it could, with frigate and or destroyer support, destroy them with group tactics. The vessel, like many human heavy capital ships, had a slim profile and linear mounted MAC guns. Unlike the previous generation of cruisers, like the Halcyon and Marathon class, it did not have a 'column' design, and was more similar to the Heimdall-class Frigate, with a long slim profile then bulked out launch bays, manoeuvring engines and engine shields.
