However, the detonation of the bomb only to inadvertently "kick-start" the tower network, causing a large energy surge that opened a wormhole in the Earth's atmosphere. SRPA attempted to stop Daedalus and the Chimera by destroying the fleet with a fission bomb. By this time, the Chimera activated the tower network and channelled its energy towards the Chicxulub Crater, where the energy was being harnessed by the Chimeran fleet's flagship.

on May 15, 1953, deploying a large fleet of airships which totally decimated the country and its military within just over a month. The Chimera intended to activate the tower network across the planet, and sought to reach the inactive towers remaining in America. It was under Daedalus that the Chimera were able to invade Canada, Africa, and South America within two years before setting their sight on the United States. With the fall of the Angels, the Chimera came under the leadership of Daedalus, a former human known as Jordan Shepherd who was a severely mutated by-product of Project Abraham. The destruction of the Chimeran tower network in Britain marked a major victory for humanity, which eventually led to Western Europe's liberation during Operation Overstrike.ĭespite these setbacks, the Chimera were quick to learn from their failures and made progressive changes in creating newer and stronger strains, and made use of their advanced technology to continue their onslaught on the western hemisphere. However, it was not until the intervention of the United States during the Battle of London in 1951 which resulted in the decimation of the Chimeran forces throughout the United Kingdom, and the knowledge of the Chimera's delicate hive-like connection to the Angels becoming a known weakness, that the tide slowly began to turn against the Chimera. Noted changes in the environment/climate of Britain and the excavation of many Chimeran towers by the Chimera happened shortly after their brutal takeover of the country. In a matter of weeks, continental Europe fell before the United Kingdom, the last European nation, was eventually invaded after the Chimera dug under the English Channel, easily overwhelming its defenders. However, Western intelligence agencies soon became aware of the aliens following strange events transpiring in Russia, such as abnormally cold weather changes and completely abandoned towns, but erroneously believed the Chimera to be the byproduct of a Russian military experiment gone horribly wrong.Ĭhimeran War Main article: Chimeran Warĭuring the 1940s, the Chimera patiently amassed their forces before breaking through the Red Curtain and swiftly invading Europe on December 1949, beginning the Chimeran War. Initially, knowledge of the Chimera's existence was completely unknown to the rest of the world due to Russia's strict isolationism. Russia would be completely conquered by the Chimera by the late 1930s. įrom the moment of their arrival on Earth, the Chimera proceeded to infect and/or kill almost every living organism in Russia before making themselves known in 1927. However, it is strongly speculated that this was an act of desperation and therefore implying that the Pure Chimera are in a very precarious state. The reasons for their return to Earth, or even why such an advanced race chose a primitive way of invading, remains unknown. Some towers even happened to be under major population centers, such as London, Paris, Chicago and New York.

Evidence suggests that the Chimera had planned the attack on Earth since the time of their departure, as shown by the presence of the Chimeran Tower network that was found buried across the world. Over 60 million years later, the Chimera returned to Earth in the form of a virus-infused meteor which impacted in Siberia in 1908. It is also strongly speculated by SRPA scientists that the cause of the Chimera's defeats laid at the hands of very advanced technological components known as " Grey Tech" that was used by their enemies to construct a powerful weapon that led to their absence from Earth. It is unknown what the outcome of this war was, but archaeological evidences uncovered by SRPA scientists revealed that the damage dealt to the Chimera was highly devastating the Chicxulub Crater was created as a result of the conflict, and the effects of the impact forced the Chimera to completely abandon Earth and burying traces of their presences for eons. During this era, the Pure Chimera came into conflict with another alien race. The precise origins of the Chimera are unknown, but it is known that at least 60 million years ago their progenitors, referred to as the " Pure Chimera", had colonized Earth and established a foothold on the planet.
