+## Native Tech composition — 4 October 2026
+
+Enable original Tech Tokens in a fresh ready lobby before using the existing
+`factions` entry. This bounded composition needs three through six unique seats,
+at least one native selected E1/E2 faction with distinct required `ix`/`choam`
+decks, or standalone Ecaz OR Moritani with classic opponents and exact `ecaz`.
+Basic and Advanced retain original decks, cache, leaders, force placement and
+printed/first-Storm token assignment. It adds no Leader Skills.
+
+The existing Advanced `stronghold-factions` entry additionally preserves these
+unused Tech Tokens with its six original Stronghold Cards. Enable both in the
+lobby; actual end-Mentat ownership remains separate from first-Storm Tech setup.
+Tech at two seats, Basic Strongholds, paired/mixed E3 rosters, Homeworlds, Nexus,
+Discoveries, independent E3 cards and unrelated preview overlays stay excluded.
+Advanced Moritani excludes Harkonnen under its existing assassination boundary.
+
+Ecaz uses original selected-lead battle rewards; an ally cannot share a token
+or turn split Tech holdings into a joint occupied territory. Basic combined
+Occupy remains even-force only. Original Moritani normal-call forfeiture,
+printed assassination bounty and one real Mentat replacement remain.
+Native payments, typed losses and original winner Tech before Face Dance reuse
+the existing handlers; this entry does not certify every interaction.
+
+The authorized Advanced source permits variants together or separately
+(supplied2.3 PDF physical21/printed19). That page assigns native/first-Storm
