[edit] Background
Northstar was also a Brooklyn, New York-based chapter of Starfleet International. In the 1990s, the chapter was based at the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Community Services Center in Manhattan.
The ship and chapter were named after Northstar, an openly gay 20th century mutant superhero gifted with superspeed and light-based powers.
