Qhire Khartu

The Qhire Khartu is the light attack craft of the Xi’An military manufactured by AopoA. Contrary to Human ship design, the Khartu doesn’t have a traditional main thruster, instead featuring an array of maneuvering thrusters on articulated rigs. This design allows for incredible agility, making them the bane of UEE pilots, who bestowed the nickname ‘Quark’ because when all of the thrusters are firing, the ship looks like a spark flying through space.

The Qhire Khartu is used by Xi'An military as a scout ship.

History
During the Cold War with UEE, rare reports claim that unknown Xi'An scout ships are sighted for eluding border patrols.

In 2896-01-15 SET, UEE successfully captured one of the new Xi’An scout ships as it had been found derelict and pilotless by a naval recon squadron. It is taken immediately to an undisclosed bunker for further study, the Imperial researchers spent years trying to decipher and understand the damaged technology.
