<br />
* named for homeworld [[Corru/Obeski|Obeski]]<br />
* established civilization enduring thousands of years<br />
* disputed origin due to genetic isolation of obesk<br />
<br />
== Anatomy ==<br />
* mammal humanoid with phenotypical variation (castes)<br />
* receptors used for interfacing with corru thought substrate<br />

* communitarian distribution of necessities<br />
* anarchic organization reduces need for large-scale leadership<br />

* modern obesk are largely agnostic, with animist traditions<br />
* [[Corru/Structurism|Structurism]] remains notable, particularly in [[Corru/Ekiva|Ekiva]]<br />
* [[Corru/Humorism|Humorism]] has strong cultural influence (archetypes) but is associated with curling receptors and thus taboo<br />
<br />
=== Taboos ===<br />
* curling receptors is considered dangerous, queer behavior<br />

* castes and sexes are prescribed certain characteristics to which they are expected to conform<br />

<br />
=== Origin ===<br />
* oldest known fossils suggest [[Corru/Tuvazu|Tuvazu]]<br />
* relationship with corru suggests shared origin<br />
* genetic isolation suggests extraterrestrial<br />
<br />

=== Corrucystic Revolution ===<br />
* [[Corru/Vazni|Vazni]] discovery enabling technological civilization<br />
* prevalence of Structurism, particularly in Ekiva<br />
* qou proto-Collectives (storage of many qou minds within one grand cyst)<br />
<br />
=== Age of Travelers ===<br />
* discovery of the [[Corru/Dull|Dull]] enables further technological revolution<br />
* space industry blooms in search of true origins of obesk<br />
* beginnings of mega-engineering planning (it stopped being scifi, at least)<br />
<br />
=== The Call ===<br />
* revival of Structurist progenitor theory<br />
* discovery of humanity<br />
* hesitance to take risks with their violent culture<br />
