Operator

A Navigator, within the Mega Man X universe, is an assistant/support Reploid that stays in permanent contact with Maverick Hunters deployed on the field, to provide them with information regarding their current location, surrounding life-forms, and general data. They also act as laboratory supporting crew in the development and maintenance of body enhancements, when the Hunters bring back the necessary pieces to build said special parts. Some notable examples among these parts are the Speedster (which allows for faster running speeds), the Jumper (which enhances jump height) and the Shock Buffer (which negates body recoil/throwback when receiving damage).

Chronologically, the first Navigator in the series was Iris, during the events of Mega Man Xtreme 2; since then, several other female Hunters have taken up the job, such as Alia, Layer, Pallette, and Nana.
