Initially a water freighter, the Kairiola was refitted in the days of the Gallente-Caldari war to act as a fighter carrier during the orbital bombardment of Caldari Prime. It was most famously flown by the legendary Admiral Yakia Tovil-Toba directly into Gallente Prime's atmosphere, where it fragmented and struck several key locations on the planet. This event, where the good Admiral gave his life, marked the culmination of a week's concentrated campaign of distraction which enabled the Caldari to evacuate their people from their besieged home planet. Where the Chimera roams, the Caldari remember. The Chimera is capable of generating a Jump Conduit Portal which allows it to instantaneously transport itself and nearby fleet members to a target cynosural beacon. Ship classes that can be moved via conduit: Frigates, Destroyers, Cruisers, Battlecruisers, and Battleships. 0 3 4 1240000000 14 75 7 450000 Though one falls, we remain.

Chimera

Summary

The Chimera is the Caldari carrier. Formerly focused around providing remote repair to its supporting fleet, the Chimera (and other carriers) were rebalanced in the April 2016 release to become mobile long-range damage dealers. Despite possessing a powerful shield tank due to its passive resistance bonuses, the Chimera is usually superseded by the Nidhoggur in both PvP and PvE due to the Chimera's smaller fighter hangar and lesser fighter damage bonus. It does find a purpose, however, in providing Command Bursts to allied fleets, as its durability increases the chance of its survival.
