Chimera
The Chimera is a rugged, well armed APC produced across thousands of worlds in the Imperium. Unlike the Rhino, the Chimera STC is a dedicated military vehicle, serving as the chassis for transports, artillery and support vehicles. The vehicle is fully enclosed, sealed environment capable of protecting the crew and passengers inside from chemical and biological weapons, nuclear fall out or even the open Void. In addition, the crew and passenger compartments are sealed separately, allowing properly equipped passengers to disembark without endangering the crew. In normal atmosphere conditions, the passengers can also open the top hatch for air or to use as a fire point. The passenger compartment also has six mounted lasguns in it on sealed swivels, but provides the passengers no way to aim them without opening the top hatch. The Chimera has a top speed of 70 kph (45 mph), though some of the artillery variants are slower due to the heavy load.
Command Variant
The only external difference between the normal and command versions of the chimera is the inclusion of a whip arial or (in the case of House Drake's) an orbital uplink dish. Internally, a large amount of the free cargo room in the passenger compartment has been replaced with communications gear, tactical readouts, maps projectors and a cognator. Although still technically able to hold twelve still, the comfortable maximum is closer to nine.

Trojan
The Trojan version of the chimera removes the turret and refits the passenger compartment as a cargo compartment, complete with internally or externally controlled loading crane. In addition to it's own cargo capacity, it includes a towing hook for the attachment of one or more supply trailers, allowing it to pull entire supply trains. It operates with a crew of two, the commander taking over the gunners position. Given the trojan's non-combat role, this is rarely a liability. House Drake owns two of these.
