Monolithic monuments to Ra, the sun god, These originally had gold or gold/silver alloy plate on the tip, and the sun's reflection could be seen for miles. Many obelisks have been removed from Egypt, for instance Cleopatra's Needle in London. An unfinished obelisk still lies in place in it's quarry near Aswan, where it was abandoned when it cracked during excavation.

These strange structures are scattered throughout the Ground Zero region. Their original purpose is unknown as they do not appear to be of ancient Human origin. However, one known effect of these structures is that once captured they provide added power and strength to the Outposts of the capturing race.
