Nox is written with a capital "N" only, is a Gallic drug named after the Latin word for "night", and is in no way related to MOX, an abbreviated form for a capital vessel combustible.
As a matter of fact, I wonder why must it take a capital N. Maybe it's because Cardamine always had a capital "C".

' Wrote:Capitalised first letter for a proper noun; ie. because it's a name, and secondly, because the names of all commodities in the game are capitalised.
For some reason this is the way Digital Anvil wrote the original infocards and rumors, so I have tried to preserve the convention of capitalizing all commodity names in new text. On the forums or in server chats, no one needs to feel similarly obligated. We do have a few branded commodities now that are proper nouns, though. FloraGro, Holo-tainment Bands, HazMat Canisters...I think that's all. And no, Hypno-tainment Bands isn't really a brand, since they're just hacked versions of Holo bands. Xenobiotic Filters could be considered a brand name, but I don't feel strongly about that one either way - if the Planetform-Cryer-Synth consortium wants to consider it a brand name they can.
