The Chimera are a testament to the modern advancements in the Hybrid Genome Lab of the Human Verity Project (HVP). Developed post-Nepzerk Revolution, the Chimera were intended to push the limits of gene splicing to allow scientists to tailor make creatures for colonial and military applications throughout the system. Each Chimera is genetically unique and therefore cannot successful self-populate. All Chimera are born within HVP laboratories.

Following the Nepzerk Revolution and the liberation of the Avnaut (HVP’s most valuable “intellectual property”), HVP’s future and reputation were at stake. In the decades that followed, the company faded into relative obscurity, focusing their efforts on more stable endeavors like artificial reproduction. However, some of the company’s geneticists remained desperate to invent the next cutting edge biotechnological marvel. So, inspired by the Bellumite Devos, an enclave of HVP geneticists began independant studies into Human genetic splicing, thus birthing the Chimera.

New legislation passed by the NTF forbids sentient organic life, regardless of origin, from a life of slavery (unless by means of incarceration for criminal activity). Because of these laws, HVP has been required to grant freedom to any experiments deemed sentient.

No two Chimera look the same, as all serve as amalgamations of their genetic donors and display unique features associated with them. Because of their extreme rarity and abnormality, Chimera often struggle to find community in Deadstar.
