Once a rare sight, the presence of this ominious war engine has been streadily growing as the size of raiding forces itself grow.
The Obelisk is a flat square construct centered round a crystal that bears great resemblance to those mounted within the [[Monolith]]. This allows them to use the devastating [[Particle Whip]] in their primary role as Monolith escort. The obelisk can also intercept incoming fire directed at it's Monolith charge, converting it into energy which is then diverted into the Obelisk itself.
On occasion small groups of Obelisks have been known to support infantry formations and even perform daring raids behind enemy lines.
