Marathon Cybernetics

"Top-Notch Implants for a Good Price."--A slogan from a Marathon Cybernetics advertisementMarathon Cybernetics is a cybernetics manufacturer based in the city of Delambre on Mars. They are the leading producer of cybernetic implants in UEG-controlled space and are the official provider of the UNSC's supply of implants. They are the rivals of the Europa-based Phoenix Corporation/ They are still active as of 2615.
== History ==
Marathon Cybernetics was founded in December of 2487 in the city of Delambre on Mars. They focused mostly on implants that assisted those who worked in construction, engineering, or even law enforcement. Some of their products from this time include the Gravity Module, which allows heavy objects to be picked up without any sort of machinery and the Telescopic Optics implant, which serves as built-in binoculars. As time passed the company began to focus on implants meant for everyday usage. For example, the Catalog Browser implant allowed people to browse a catalog of items from a selected store.
The first implants meant for military use were produced in 2492 and were used by the specialized CYBERTAC (Cyber Tactical) units in the UNSC Army. One implant was the Hidden Blade, which allowed a small blade to be launched from the user's arm, causing massive damage. This implant would be used for the rest of the Insurrectionist and well into the Human-Covenant War. The Deadeye was also produced at this time, which was used as an "aimbot". In the Human-Covenant War Marathon had produced only one implant, the Hardshell. This provided extra protection and hardened the user's bones, preventing a bullet or plasma from burning through.
After the war, Marathon produced improved variants of their past implants and replacements were offered to CYBERTAC soldiers and other users. Two new implants were made at this time, the Bullfrog and the Hazard. The Bullfrog was a built-in jetpack with infinite fuel, allowing the user to remain airborne for as long as they wanted. It is mostly used by law enforcement officers in riots or incidents of terrorism. The Hazard allows the user to suffer no adverse effects while remaining in irradiated areas without a hazmat suit. It is exclusively used by Delambre Radiation Control inside of the Delambre Crater and other sites.
