'''Khajja nar Ja'targk''' was a [[Kilrathi]] fighter ace. He flew the [[Krant]] medium fighter. Khajja was a steady and mission-oriented pilot. He was nicknamed 'the Machine' by [[Terran Intelligence]] because he was the most efficient known pilot in Kilrathi service. He never panicked and could not be distracted with taunts, though he was dissuaded by unfavourable odds. He had a complete confidence in his wingmen, frequently ignoring enemy fighters to focus on a mission objective. He was known to reserve his heat-seeking missiles for mission objectives or troublesome enemies and his friend or foe missiles for emergencies. His dogfighting style was straightforward, favoring strafing runs. Confederation intelligence also indicated that some Kilrathi pilots were afraid of Khajja. [[Terran Confederation]] pilots were advised to avoid his wingmen, to focus on using classic dogfight tactics or to lead him towards other friendlies. He was featured in [[Pilot Profiles]] in [[2654|April 2654]]. 

[[Christopher Blair]] and [[Todd Marshall]] encountered Khajja on [[2654.137]] in the [[Brimstone]] System while attacking a [[Dorkir]] transport which Khajja was escorting.

Previously, [[James Taggart]] and [["Dragon"]] encountered Khajja while escorting a tanker. Khajja was able to destroy the tanker and escape, as Taggart and Dragon were forced to break off their attack to avoid debris from the exploding tanker.
