Chimaera
The history of the Chimaera began around the Battle of Endor. The most notable character to serve aboard the Chimaera, was a man named Gilad Pellaeon. Pellaeon served aboard the Chimaera for his service in the Empire, and during the Battle of Endor, took over when the former captain was killed. Serving as executive officer, Pellaeon gave the order to retreat after the disabled Executor blew up with the second Death Star. The Chimaera served as the second command ship, and Pellaeon called the Imperial forces to their rendezvous point. The Chimaera then took part in many Imperial attacks, ranging from Grand Admiral Thrawn's attacks on the New Republic, all the way until the time of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion.
The Battle of Endor
During the Battle of Endor, the Chimaera was designated the reserve command ship. When the Executor crashed into the Death Star II, the Chimaera became the flagship of the Imperial Navy during the battle. The Chimaera took many hits during the battle, killing off the captain of the ship, allowing for then Executive Officer Pellaeon to take command of the ship. When the Death Star blew up, he ordered all Imperial forces to retreat to the rendezvous point. From there, the Imperial forces broke up, with captains and admirals such as Admiral Harrsk taking portions of the fleet with them, to develop into Warlords, while Pellaeon led the loyal Imperial forces back to Coruscant, where they were placed under the command of the Imperial Council.
Post Battle of Endor
After the Battle of Endor, Pellaeon served as captain of Chimaera. The Chimaera continued under the direction of the Imperial leader, with the Chimaera taking action under Ysanne Isard, until her defeat over Thyferra. After the fall of Isard, Pellaeon took the Chimaera and her crew out to the Deep Core, where the warlords were fighting their hearts out against each other. He signed up with High Admiral Terradoc, as he had the largest fleet, of crimson red Victory-class Star Destroyers. The Chimaera went elsewhere during this time.
