"Northstar is a Titan class that is based on the Stryder chassis design. Northstar is built on high mobility and precision attacks with her railgun and cluster missiles, and can perform vertical takeoffs and landings to access unorthodox lines of sight.

The Northstar chassis, by default, is only capable of a short VTOL-style hover, which she can use to gain an elevated position or rain missiles down on the enemy. Extremely expensive and time-consuming modifications can be equipped to allow flight more akin to that of a more standard aircraft - however, these upgrades are prohibitively expensive to obtain and are available for a very small amount of Pilots such as Viper. A more standard modification for the majority of Pilots is the Viper Thrusters, which allow Northstar increased movement speed while airborne."
