The Chimaera Expansion Pack serves as an addition for the tactical space combat game Star Wars: Armada, brought to you by Fantasy Flight Games, and represents the seventh wave of content. This expansion provides a finely crafted miniature of Grand Admiral Thrawn's iconic capital ship, the Chimaera, alongside a pair of Mandalorian Gauntlet fighter models. Its initial announcement occurred on August 25, 2017, with its official release following on February 1, 2018.
In the Chimaera Expansion Pack, Grand Admiral Thrawn makes his debut in the Star Wars™: Armada battles. This pack not only allows you to lead your fleet with the strategic genius of this blue-skinned Chiss, but it also introduces an Imperial Star Destroyer distinguished by a unique chimaera design, along with two Mandalorian Gauntlet squadrons, six ship cards, and seventeen additional upgrades. Collectively, these components do more than just offer a visual variation for your Star Destroyer; they enable it to adopt entirely new tactical and strategic roles within your Imperial forces.
