The Khartu-Al (Kal'tuāl) is a Xi'an light scout spacecraft adapted for Human use by Aopoa. Its base model, the Qhire Khartu (Kuail Kal'tu), was originally developed for the Xi'an Empire as a scout and interceptor for the military. Aopoa extensively modified the control surfaces and components of the base model for the Human market. Owing to the fact that it was one of the first Xi'an-designed ships sold within the United Empire of Earth (UEE) it is often referred to as the "Xi'an Scout."
