With production and supplies lagging due to the Ides Tragedy, EDO forces scrambled to make the most of whatever parts they could scrounge. One result was the Gryphon Chimera, a hyrbid using parts from the PMS-P00SMS Gryphon, and the P-011HSMS Basilisk. Essentially the legs, torso, and flight pack of a Gryphon, and the head and arms of a Basilisk, the unit proved a capable mid-range support unit, though it could not fire its two arm-mounted cannons rapidly, lacking the extra generator capacity of the Basilisk.
