Inspired by Humans=
The Nox was first introduced in the late 28th century, it represents one of the most recent additions to the StarCitizen:Aopoa lineup. It was designed as a direct Xi'an response to Human open-canopy vehicles such as the StarCitizen:Dragonfly. After the ship was introduced into Xi'an culture via a settlement on StarCitizen:Oya III, the inhabitants there learned to love riding these Human space bikes. Thus with permission from StarCitizen:Emperor Kr.ē, the StarCitizen:Aopoa council started designing an open-canopy vehicle which is now known as the Nox.<ref name="NoxLaunch"/> |-|
