Chimaera
Canon Legends version → Linked from 158 articles
The Chimaera kaɪˈmɪərə was a modified Imperial I-class Star Destroyer captained by Imperial officer Thrawn during the Galactic Civil War. It served as his flagship following his promotions to commodore and later admiral of the 96th Task Force, and transferred commands with him from the task force to flagship of the Seventh Fleet upon his promotion to Grand Admiral. During the Liberation of Lothal, the Chimaera was pulled into hyperspace by purrgil summoned by the young rebel Padawan Ezra Bridger with Thrawn, Bridger, and most of its crew aboard.
The Chimaera travelled to a far galaxy and settled on Peridea where it waited for years. Upon the arrival of Imperial Remnant forces under the witch Morgan Elsbeth, the Chimaera returned to the galaxy docked to the Eye of Sion, a massive extragalactic hyperspace transport ring above Dathomir. The Chimaera was unique in that it had a stylized depiction of a chimaera engraved on the ventral side of its hull.
