Xi'an CRAFT

Two Xi'an manufacturers: Gatac for freight and utility, Aopoa for combat and racing. Every ship built around vertical architecture, alien proportions, and an approach to engineering that has no direct Human equivalent.

Gatac Railen

Active Production

The Railen is Gatac Manufacture's large freight ship: a vertical Xi'an hauler built for extended commercial routes, with externally accessible cargo grids, grav-lift deck flow, and a full crew interior for long operations.

Grav-lift access

Xi'an vertical architecture doesn't lend itself to ramps and forklifts. Grav-lifts handle deck movement through the Railen's full height, keeping the vertical layout functional without ground-level loading equipment.

Cargo grid access

Six hundred and forty SCU sits in externally-accessible cargo grids along the hull. The layout is fast to work and leaves the Railen's Xi'an profile intact regardless of what's loaded.

Extended operation

Sleeping pods, a galley, and dedicated crew spaces are built into the structure. The Railen isn't designed for short runs. It is built for routes that keep the crew away from port for a long time.

Cargo doctrine

Vertical freight, Xi'an proportions

The Railen translates Xi'an vertical architecture into a cargo ship that feels like a moving commercial structure rather than a horizontal warehouse.

Its adaptive cockpit, grav-lift deck access, and open cargo grid layout make freight handling part of the ship's character, a Xi'an approach to commercial work that reads differently from a Human hauler.

COMMERCIAL PROFILE

The Railen operates at large ship scale with 640 SCU of externally accessible cargo and a crew of one to four. Gatac's vertical architecture and grav-lift system produce a freight ship that works differently from a Human hauler in every practical respect.

Gatac / Starter pathfinder

Gatac Syulen

Flight Ready

The Syulen is Gatac's single-seat Xi'an starter ship: compact, vertical, multi-role, and built to introduce Human pilots to an alien approach to movement, stowage, and pathfinding.

RoleStarter / Pathfinder
CrewSolo
Cargo6 SCU
Dimensions16 x 28 x 25m
StatusFlight Ready

Starter craft

Six SCU of cargo, personal stowage, and a proper cockpit make the Syulen genuinely functional from day one. Not a trainer. A working ship.

Vertical posture

Xi'an proportions and a vertical landing stance make the handling habits feel genuinely foreign.

Pathfinder

Solo-crewed, compact, and capable across cargo, exploration, and pathfinding work. The Syulen asks a pilot to adapt to Xi'an thinking before moving up to a larger Gatac frame.

Starter doctrine

A first ship that feels foreign on purpose

The Syulen is not trying to be a Human starter with alien paint. It introduces Xi'an proportions, compact cargo use, and a vertical landing stance that changes how the ship sits on the pad.

Compact enough to serve as a daily runner, capable enough to carry small loads, and shaped around Xi'an proportions that stay with you once you've flown it.

ENTRY POINT

Six SCU of cargo, personal stowage, and a solo operating envelope keep the Syulen self-sufficient. It's Gatac at their most approachable, though the vertical layout and Xi'an proportions mean it never quite feels like a Human ship.

Aopoa / Light fighter

Aopoa Khartu'al

Flight Ready

The Khartu'al is an exported Xi'an military scout adapted for Human civilian use, trading conventional fighter lines for Aopoa mobility, folded geometry, and scout-fighter precision.

ManufacturerAopoa
RoleLight Fighter
CrewSolo
Cargo0 SCU
Dimensions15 x 21.5 x 30.5m
StatusFlight Ready

Scout origin

The Khartu'al began as a Xi'an military scout and was adapted for Human civilian export. The military thinking stayed. The foreign controls were translated, not removed.

Folded silhouette

The Khartu'al's geometry shifts between states in a way no Human fighter does. Its folded profile makes it instantly recognisable and a fundamentally different combat shape to read and engage.

Precision fighter

Agility over armour, positioning over endurance. The Khartu'al rewards pilots who understand that Xi'an combat philosophy is about being exactly where the enemy isn't expecting.

Combat doctrine

A scout that attacks from a different geometry

The Khartu'al is a military scout translated for Human use without removing the agility and non-Human movement profile that make it effective. Aopoa's approach is built around positional control: the ability to dictate where a fight happens rather than absorb it.

Its folded silhouette and alien movement profile make it a different kind of commitment, one that pays off for pilots willing to learn a new combat geometry.

EXPORT LINEAGE

Derived from a Xi'an military scout and adapted for Human civilian export, the Khartu'al carries its origins in every design decision: folded geometry, precision agility, and a combat profile built around decisive movement rather than sustained engagement.

Aopoa / Medium fighter

Aopoa San'Tok'Yai

Flight Ready

The San'tok.yāi is Aopoa's exported Xi'an medium fighter, carrying the combat intent of the Khartu'al into a heavier profile with a modern flight-ready presence.

Medium fighter

The San'tok.yāi steps up from the Khartu'al into genuine medium fighter territory: more hull, more weapons capacity, and the same Aopoa combat approach in a heavier frame.

Export lineage

Aopoa designed the San'tok.yāi for Human pilots without softening the Xi'an combat philosophy behind it. The adaptation is in the controls, not the intent.

Aopoa combat cues

Same Aopoa design language as the Khartu'al: heavier footprint, stronger weapons envelope, built for pilots who want more than a light scout engagement profile.

Combat doctrine

Xi'an combat, modernized for the medium class

The San'tok.yāi expands Aopoa's fighter presence into the medium class: more hull, more weapons capacity, and a combat profile that sits between the Khartu'al's agility and a conventional Human medium fighter.

Where the Khartu'al rewards total commitment to alien movement, the San'tok.yāi offers a slightly wider margin: the same Xi'an geometry in a heavier frame that is less demanding to learn and more capable in a sustained fight.

Aopoa / Grav-lev racer

Aopoa Nox

Flight Ready

The Nox and Nox Kue represent Aopoa at racing scale: single-seat grav-lev craft built for speed, competition, and the clean thrill of Xi'an hover technology.

Grav-lev speed

Grav-lev hover control and minimal mass give the Nox the kind of responsiveness that ground-contact racers can't match. It stays precisely where you point it.

Nox Kue variant

The Kue carries a distinct finish that separates it from the base Nox on the track and in the hangar: same performance, immediately different presence.

Quick return loop

Small, fast to reset, and precise enough to make every run count. The Nox isn't built for one dramatic pass. It is built to do it again.

Racing doctrine

Racing with precision

The Nox is Aopoa at their smallest and most focused: a grav-lev racer built around hover precision, low mass, and the specific thrill of Xi'an competition design.

Where the larger craft make Xi'an design feel architectural, the Nox makes it feel personal: a rider, a machine, and a line through open space.
