A: Northstar runs separate from official servers and progress does not carry over.
However your progress on official servers is not lost, so running vanilla client after playing on Northstar you should be back to your old level on official servers.
You can use community-made server browsers such as: https://taskinoz.com/northstar/ or https://cpdt.dev/northstar/
A: No.

refers to the internal development name of Titanfall 2 given to it by Respawn. Titanfall 1 for example is r1
, Apex Legends is r5
, etc.
The reason this wiki for example is called r2northstar.gitbook.io
is due to the fact that "Northstar" is a rather common name and as such often already reserved by other organisations and people. "R2Northstar" is both uncommon and therefore still available and ties "Northstar" with Titanfall 2, due to the r2
part of the name.A: The answer is obvious, No! Northstar does not support piracy of any kind.
If you want to use Northstar you'll have to purchase Titanfall 2 either from Steam/Origin/EA Desktop App or use a subscription service like Gamepass PC and EA Play.
A: Frontier Defense is currently in development and will be available in a release when it's finished.
