Other sitesThe Khartu-al ( Xi'an: Kal'tuāl (Proper); literally dire fly export; ) is an export model of the Qhire Khartu fighter developed by the Xi'an Aopoa Corporation. This vehicle is tailored for the human civilian sector, serving as a specialized scout and explorer. It features the same Xi'an maneuvering system but is modified with control surfaces suitable for human use and has a limited armament capacity.[1]
Features
Maneuverability
The design of Xi-an military vessels, which lack a conventional main thruster, allows the Khartu-al to be equipped with four gimbaled main thrusters. This configuration renders the ship one of the most agile in the universe.[1]
Weapons
The Khartu-al's formidable maneuverability, combined with its dual Size 4 gun hard-points, renders it exceptionally challenging to overcome in combat.[1]
Controls
Engineered specifically for human use, the cockpit of the ship provides highly precise controls.[1]
Cockpit
The vessels were equipped with an expansive bubble canopy, which provided the pilot with excellent visibility in all directions..[1]

Lore
The mysterious ship, nicknamed Quark but now known to be a Qhire Khartu, had been found derelict and pilotless by a naval recon squadron. Taken immediately to an undisclosed bunker for further study, unnamed scientists spent years trying to decipher and understand the damaged technology.[2]
The Khartu-al was exported to Human since the 2910s, it was offically the first Xi'an ship that is exported to Human.[3]

Development
| 2012-11-19 | The design is in part a reference to the mysterious "red ship," a vertical spacecraft that appeared in original landing zone mockup in 2012-11-19.[4] |
| 2013-11-26 | The "Xi’an Scout" had its first pre-concept sale during the 2013 Anniversay event.[5] |
| 2014-06-20 | The Khartu-al concept was announced and release.[6] |
| 2018-06-30 | It became flight ready in the Alpha 3.2.0 release.[7] |
| 2020-11-28 | The Khartu-al (originally known as "Xi’an Scout") is the first Xi'an ship designed in the game. Its distinctive vertical flight mode has become a major design element as Xi'an culture has developed. The ship was first offered as part of the $23 million stretch goal in 2013, which aimed to create both the "Xi’an Scout" and to expand the game’s focus to alien races.[8] |
