Conversion Center



Conversion Centers are widely used by the Chimera to speed up the process of converting humans and possibly other creatures into Chimera. Conversion Centers are equipped to handle possibly hundreds of soon-to-be Chimera. The interior of a conversion center is very much like an assembly line, with the newly created Chimera rapidly churned out. Victims are brought in by carriers] and any uninfected prisoners are kept in makeshift pens until [[crawlers are dropped in to infect them. They are then given surgical implants (for creating menials),and placed into a network of tubes were the bodies undergo different stages of conversion. They are then wrapped in cocoons to accelerate the transformation and turn into a different Chimeran creature depending on the strain of the virus. In the birthing chamber,the cocoons are opened and new creatures are born. In the case of hybrids and most other chimera, it is here that the cooling units are forcefully attached to their backs.

Resistance 2
By the events of Resistance 2, the Chimera did not need the Conversion Centers as much as before, with the new Spinners creating Grims rapidly and quickly. Conversion Centers were still used, but were not as vital to the invasion as the carriers have died out and there are less people to convert.

Resistance: Retribution
In Resistance Retribution, conversion centers are still vital to the Chimeran war effort. Yet the original centres are found abandoned in the process of being dismantled by drones. It is theorized that the raw materials taken from the old conversion centers are being taken to the new ones in Chimeran towers across Europe. It is in these new conversion centers that the Boilers and Hags are being created as part of this new conversion process. The one in Bonn appears to have been made a long time ago by something other than Chimera and appears to utilize water from the river Rhine in order to function, turning the river into a dry bed in the process. At the end of the game the conversion centers begin to be phased out as more Carriers are infected by Bouchard's poison yet according to Raine/the Chrysalis, a new type of conversion process has been triggered, spinners
