The Obin are an alien species featured in ‘The Last Colony’ by John Scalzi. Initially created as a subservient and intellectually limited race, the Obin undergo a significant transformation and seek independence and equality. Their struggle for autonomy and the complexities of their evolving societal structure are central to the plot. As the story unfolds, the Obin’s development challenges the established power dynamics and contributes to the overall theme of identity and self-determination.
