The Khartu-al is the export version of the Xi’an Qhire Khartu, sold to human civilians: the same Xi’an manoeuvring rig, but controls adapted for humans and lighter armament.

📜 Its history

A mysterious ship nicknamed “Quark”, actually a Qhire Khartu, was found adrift and pilotless by a Navy recon squadron, then studied for years in a secret bunker. Exported to humans since the 2910s, the Khartu-al is officially the first Xi’an ship sold to humans; early models had a second seat.
