The '''Chimera''' is a multinational task force created by the [[United Nations]] with the original purpose of providing intelligence and military support for the investigation into the [[Shanghai Crash]]. This UN-led organization's arsenal consists of many foreign military equipment. They are superior to the [[U.S. Army]], but inferior to the [[Cartel]] in technology.<ref name = JV_OVERVIEWAOA>{{cite web |url=http://www.jeuxvideo.com/articles/0001/00018842-gdc-2014-act-of-aggression-preview.htm#infos |title=Act of Aggression |accessdate=2014-04-1 |author= |authorlink= |coauthors= |date=2014-03-31 |format= |work= |publisher=jeuxvideo.com |pages= |language=French |archiveurl= |archivedate= |quote=Deep in debt, the poorest states have all gone bankrupt, leaving behind an unprecedented economic crisis.

==Trivia==
*The Chimera is the counterpart of the Task Force Talon from ''Act of War''.
**Both are special task forces with access to relatively advanced technology that at one point operate in tandem with the United States Army, but are beaten in certain areas by the main antagonistic faction in tech.
*The faction's name is fitting as the organization itself and arsenal are of mix of foreign origins.
*During development, the Chimera was originally conceived as a special unit of super soldiers organized by select members of the United Nations, under the placeholder name ''''Tererra''''<ref name = HG_GDC2014AOA>{{cite web |url=http://www.hardcoregamer.com/2014/03/22/act-of-war-developers-unveil-new-ip-at-gdc/78952/ |title=Act of War Developers Unveil New IP at GDC |accessdate=2014-03-23 |author=Bryan Dupont-Gray |authorlink= |coauthors= |date=2014-03-22 |format= |work= |publisher=Hardcore Gamer |pages= |language= |archiveurl= |archivedate= |quote= ...one that is set two decades into the future as players take on the role of a group of super soldiers organized by select members of the United Nations. “During the solo campaign, the player will be a head of a special unit Tererra and these special units are under UN command and formed by personnel that come from the different country members from the UN. Nobody knows about other than few of the UN members,” said Eugen Systems’ Co-Founder and Chief of Executive Alexis Le Dressay.}}</ref> (a modification of the French word 'terre', meaning 'earth').
