NAVI (technology)

2011-01-24T14:54:48Z

220.255.1.66: /* Notes */

:''NAVI is a computer AI from the [[Beast Era]] portion of the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Neo35 sakura.jpg|right|250px|thumb|[[NAVI (Gung Ho)|NAVI]] (left), [[NAVI-chan]] (center) and [[DNAVI]] (right) lament their inability to drink sake.]]
A '''NAVI''' is a type of shipboard artificial intelligence used in Maximal and Predacon starships during the [[Beast Era]]. NAVIs possess limited autonomy of action—more than a "dumb" computer system like [[Sentinel (BW)|Sentinel]], but less than a [[Diagnostic Drone|self-aware drone]]. This does not prevent them from possessing what might be termed an ''excess'' of personality, often forming strong attachments to their ship's crews or definite ''opinions'' that can shape how they choose to interpret orders. Typical NAVIs have the voice and intonation of cute little girls, though their personalities can range from stoic robots to demanding bitches.

Ambulatory NAVI units such as the one designed by [[Skywarp (BWII)|Skywarp]] can sustain a NAVI's existence even after the ship housing its data banks has been destroyed.

==Fiction==
===''Beast Wars'' cartoon===
The [[Predacon computer]] onboard the ''[[Darksyde]]'' was referred to as "NAVI-ko" by [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] and the other Predacons.

{{note|This is true only for the Japanese dub, in which the computer demonstrated a decidedly different personality than in the English version.}}

===''Beast Wars II'' cartoon===
[[NAVI-chan]] was the computer for [[Lio Convoy]]'s space craft, the ''[[Yukikaze (BWII)|Yukikaze]]''. She originally had no corporeal form but was given a small, hovering LED screen for a body.

===''Beast Wars Neo'' cartoon===
The [[NAVI (Gung Ho)|NAVI]] for [[Big Convoy]]'s ship, the ''[[Gung Ho (BWN)|Gung Ho]]'', was virtually identical to NAVI-chan, save for having different colors for her LED body.

The Predacon ship, the ''[[Dinosaur (ship)|Dinosaur]]'', on the other hand, had [[DNAVI]] (short for Devil NAVI).

</gallery></center>

==Notes==
* Although not definitely confirmed, it seems likely that the term "Navi" is derived from a line of dialogue from [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] in "[[Beast Wars (Part 1)]]", when he asks the ''Darksyde'' computer: "Navigation! Is this the right planet?" It seems the Japanese production staff misconstrued (or deliberately repurposed) his declaration of "Navigation!" as use of an actual name, which was shortened to become "Navi".

* Another possibility is that Navi takes inspiration from the Rockman exe series, where the blue bomber and his kind were referred to as Net Navis.
