In TC you can only get the M5-M3 fighters since the Khaak Ships are impossible to board. In AP you can find a Khaak M6 as a derelict ship however it is not that good and it is really hard to find weapons for it.

Kha'ak ships cannot be boarded, likely for one of two reasons:

1. They are not ships, but the bodies of the Kha'ak themselves (my personal favorite, but less likely).

2. Their systems are so utterly alien to the Commonwealth/Terran races that the marines could not possibly hack the systems; the Xenon can be hacked because they originate in human design.

Granted, the fighters can bail, but I'd guess that's more of a consequence of game mechanics than "canon".

Your only chance to get the Khaak capitals, is to go modded. I would suggest the XRM mod, most strongly. :)

In all my time playing vanilla, I never managed to get an intact bailed Khaak fighter, the Khaak seem to target their own bailed ships, Though I know other people were luckier.

TC: kha'ak M3 and M5 bail and are collectable. Not sure about the M4 interceptors... I have a small fleet in TC. M3 use alpha/beta kyons emitters. M5 use just one alpha kyon emitter ea, and can't handle jumpdrives, M5 cargo handles 'small' stuff only. No M6 corvette capture/board possible in vanilla. But TC has had so many versions/updates/patches I can never keep up with absolute accuracy these sort of details....

AP: The derelict kha'ak corvette is an awesome M6 if you are lucky enough to get one spawned with full beta kyon load out. Its only the lack of kha'ak missiles which puts a bit of a limit on your tactics if using the M6 there. it is the first time in vanilla history that you can get a Kha'ak corvette and so I was pretty happy when I discovered mine just sitting there waiting to be claimed... :) (full weapon load out!).
