Lodestar Prototype

The  is a variant of the Galaxy, a heavy dropship produced by Nanite Systems as part of the Common Pool, available to all factions. It is unlocked upon completion of the Competitive Advantage event during chapter 1 of the Distant Shores campaign.

The dropship can be spawned at any air terminal, although it cannot be remotely spawned via the map screen.

The Lodestar Prototype shares much of the same characteristics of the Galaxy, including its standard loadout, survivability, and capability of carrying up to 11 passengers. The core difference between the two dropships is the Lodestar's access to the Lodestar Advanced Mobile Station, allowing it to deploy when landed to become a spawn option for allied infantry.

Certifications
Unlike standard vehicles, the Lodestar Prototype only features one certification for each of its three loadout slots, and they cannot be changed in any way—being fully upgraded, and forcibly equipped.
