A solo NetNavi in the MegaMan NT Warrior manga.
Solo NetNavis[1], known as Completely Autonomous NetNavis (完全自律型ネットナビ[2][3] Kanzen Jiritsu-gata NettoNabi), or Autonomous NetNavis (自律型ネットナビ[4][5] Jiritsu-gata NettoNabi) for short are NetNavis from the Mega Man Battle Network series that don't have operators.
This can happen in various ways. The operator might have abandoned them or the other way around. Some never had an operator and have been alone since their creation. Many solo NetNavis are outcasts and fall into evil ways, the majority frequenting the Undernet. Solo NetNavis are at a disadvantage in battle because they have no operator to send them Battle Chips or guide them.

The Independent Navi Project (かんぜんじりっナビかいはつ Kanzenjiri Navi Kaihatsu) was a work in a progress led by Dr. Cossak at SciLab. The project's aim was create a fully independent Net Navi, an AutoNavi, known as Auto Program Navi (じどうプログラムナビ) in Japan. This Navi is Bass, who would be fully capable of fighting without a operator with his GetAbility Program. He was a true success, but unfortunately for Bass, unconfirmed suspicions about him spread amongst many due to his fully free willed nature. When Alpha began malfunctioning, Bass was initially blamed for the problem, which led to SciLab wrongfully trying to delete him. Dr. Cossak was arrested and Bass was left for dead, leading him to become a solo NetNavi.
[]
Note that not all NetNavis have a known operator, and thus are believed to be solo NetNavi. A few of them also obtain operators in a later game of the series. Heel Navis often don't have operators.
All the Darkloids are solo NetNavis in the games, anime, and manga, except LaserMan. In the anime and manga, it is postulated that the Darkloids came into existence on their own and never had operators.
