The Aopoa Khartu-al ( Xi'an: Kal'tuāl(Kal'tuāl) (Proper); literally dire fly export; ) is an export model of the Qhire Khartu, for sale to human civilians as a dedicated scout/explorer. The export model features the same Xi'an maneuvering rig, but control surfaces modified for human use and a more limited armament.

Features

Maneuverability
Thanks to the way Xi-an military ships are designed (which don't have a traditional main thruster) the Khartu-al has four gimbaled main thrusters, making the ship one of the most nimble in the 'Verse.
Weapons
With a pair of Size 4 gun hard-points, together with its infamous maneuverability, makes the Khartu-al very difficult to defeat.
Controls
Specifically designed for humans, the ships cockpit offers high precision controls.
Cockpit
The ships had a large bubble canopy, giving the pilot great all round visibility.

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.[4]

The Khartu-al was exported to Human since the 2910s, it was offically the first Xi'an ship that is exported to Human.[5]

Development

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. 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.[6][7]
