The Obelisk of Darkness was only seen once, and was assumed to have been developed by information available from the Tacitus. Very little information is available about it.

[edit] Technology

The Obelisk of Darkness was a very small structure, and although tall, had a narrow base. It was armed with a single obelisk style laser beam, but its systems had been heavily modified so that it could shoot down aircraft. CABAL appeared to have overcome the atmospheric spectrum difficulties that prevented the Obelisk of Light from firing upwards. It also fired the same style of beam fired by both the CABAL Obelisk and the Core Defender, the same reddish-blue beam. It is believed that this weapon could fire through a firestorm wall.

[edit] Attack Method

Compared to a regular obelisk, the Obelisk of darkness was distinguished by its extremely powerful antiaircraft attack, sufficient to destroy an Orca Fighter in a single blast, and its heavy armor - sufficient to withstand even an Ion Cannon blast, or a Multi missile strike. However, its inability to fire at any ground target rendered it helpless against most land attacks - but the only prototype was paired with the powerful CABAL Obelisk.

[edit] History

When GDI and Nod forces launched their final attack against Cabal's core, one of the things they did was to level the only working prototype of this technology.
