They're basically of a different block variant. Whats different is that their main MAC gun recharges faster by 10% and reload time is slightly faster, nanobots to repair damages to the ship, two laser defense guns on the port and starboard sides to protect against enemy missiles or torpedoes, and more powerful main thrusters to make the ship move faster in normal space. The Kraken-class (my failed Marathon-class attempt) has the same features.

Once deflector shield-ish technology is researched, they'll be upgraded with that tech.
