Card Text[]
"You gain 1 icon in your upgrade bar. You cannot equip this card if you have a icon in your upgrade bar. At the start of the Command Phase, you may discard 1 upgrade card you have equipped and replace it with another upgrade card."
Rules Clarification[]
A card equipped to this ship using Chimaera’s effect is not discarded if Chimaera is discarded by an effect such as Darth Vader.
If Chimaera’s equipped upgrade card is discarded (to resolve its own effect, for example) it cannot then be discarded to resolve Chimaera’s effect to replace it.
To resolve this card’s effect, choose and equip any other upgrade card that does not share the same unique name as another card in your fleet, regardless of its point cost.
Upgrade cards replaced by this card’s effect are no longer equipped to this ship or part of your fleet. They can be chosen by this card’s effect to replace your current equipped upgrade card.
When determining the fleet point cost of the ship with this card equipped at the end of the game, the upgrade card currently equipped is the only one counted (even if that card is discarded because of its own effect).

Campaign Clarifications[]
In the Corellian Conflict and Rebellion in the Rim, after Scoring Battles but before the Track Fleet Condition (or Determine Experience) step, replace the upgrade card currently equipped to Chimaera with the upgrade card listed on the player’s fleet roster.
In the Corellian Conflict and Rebellion in the Rim, during a team battle, Chimaera cannot equip a upgrade card with the same unique name as a card equipped to another ship in a friendly fleet in that battle.
During a one-on-one campaign battle, Chimaera can equip a card that is equipped to another friendly fleet. After scoring that battle Chimaera reverts to the card listed on its fleet roster.
