Obolith

A Heskra artifact and Magickal weapon, an Obolith is a frightful sight for any non-Heskra to set their sights upon. Made of a dark grey marble-like substance with Heskra runes etched into its surface, Oboliths vary in shape, size, and function but the overall is the same - generating terror. Generally, Oboliths are massive, sized between small carrier to a space station, and are generally shaped as tall, narrow octahedrons. They are towed by larger ships via tractor beam to strategically significant points, such as in orbit over vital worlds or along popular highways for trade. Serving akin to proximity mines, these Oboliths have been known to vaporize entire vessels that stray too close or trap their occupants in a nightmarish illusion, leaving the ship to drift dangerously off course.
