What the game says about it

The Chimera's design is based upon the Kairiola, a vessel holding tremendous historical significance for the Caldari. 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 Yakiya 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.

Chimera in EVE Online

This page is the dictionary entry: what the item is, what it weighs, how much room it takes in a hold and - when a blueprint exists - what goes into making one. The numbers come from the game's own data, so they change when CCP patches the game and not before.

Prices are deliberately somewhere else. What something costs is a question about one item in one place at one moment, and its market page answers it properly: best sell, best buy and every order we have stored, region by region.
