Template:Vehicle

The Khartu-al Template:SClang is an export model of the StarCitizen:Qhire Khartu fighter developed by the StarCitizen:Xi'an Aopoa Corporation. This vehicle is tailored for the StarCitizen: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.<ref name="KhartuAlLaunch2">Template:Cite RSI</ref>

Lore

The mysterious ship, nicknamed Quark but now known to be a StarCitizen: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.<ref>Template:Cite RSI</ref>

The Khartu-al was exported to Human since the 2910s, it was offically the first StarCitizen:Xi'an ship that is exported to Human.<ref name="jp0611">Template:Cite Jump Point</ref>

Early production models of the Khartu-al had a second seat.<ref>Talkin Shop: IAE 2955 - Roberts Space Industries. YouTube. Retrieved 2025-11-21.</ref>

Development

Template:Timeline styles

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.<ref>Template:Cite RSI</ref>
2013-11-26 The "Xi’an Scout" had its first pre-concept sale during the 2013 Anniversay event.<ref>Template:Cite RSI</ref>
2014-06-20 The Khartu-al concept was announced and release.<ref>Template:Cite RSI</ref>
2018-06-30 It became flight ready in the Alpha 3.2.0 release.<ref>Template:Cite RSI</ref>
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 StarCitizen:stretch goal in 2013, which aimed to create both the "Xi’an Scout" and to expand the game’s focus to alien races.<ref>Template:Cite RSI</ref>
