+The requested source search also found no publisher/designer ruling for a later alliance change. The [printed expansion rulebook, p. 5](https://gamers-hq.de/media/pdf/0f/7a/86/Dune_EcazMoritani_Rulebook_EN.pdf#page=5) says “From this turn forward, your hand limit is reduced by 1 (as well as your ally’s), discarding a random card if a hand exceeds the limit”; it does not identify which ally after a change. Do not infer a current-ally or original-ally policy from search summaries.

 The earlier Extortion absence and unresolved-order checkpoints above are historical. The user chose normal Terror placement first (including any Karama response), then Extortion bank collection and storm-order payment choices. Revealing Extortion now reserves five bank spice without making it spendable; the placement opportunity closes before the five is credited. A first non-Moritani player's three-spice payment permanently removes the token. If every player declines, the existing return operation rotates all hidden supply IDs before Extortion can be placed on a later turn. The original triggering entry does not replay on reload, and CHOAM/victory continuations wait until the payment window settles. This placement-relative timing is a user interpretation, not a located publisher ruling; see [the exact source sequence and selected boundary](MORITANI_EXTORTION_RULES.md). Atomics/Aftermath and complete Moritani expansion starts remain gated.
 
 Independent review repaired current-payer affordability disclosure and continuation custody for Nullentropy Box and Richese gifts. A real Advanced Homeworld Fremen Ghola return during Mentat triggered a Guild Ambassador shipment into Extortion **after** Moritani's placement; the bank award and payment window settled before the next turn. The late path does not justify opening full Homeworld/expansion combination gates.

+## Bounded Atomics/Aftermath checkpoint — 29 September 2026
+
+The printed Atomics contract above is connected for a bounded classic-plus-Moritani prototype without Guild, Ecaz or optional modules and with Moritani's alliance stable after activation. On an eligible entry the owner may leave Atomics hidden or reveal it; revealing kills every faction's forces in the territory and records public Aftermath there. The public map and Terror notice identify the territory and lasting shipment ban without identifying a still-placed hidden token's face. The owner sees the consequences before choosing to reveal. Ordinary movement and Sneak Attack are not prohibited by Aftermath, but shipments into that territory, including Fremen reinforcements, are.
+
+From activation turn forward, Moritani and the ally **at activation** each have a hand limit reduced by one. Each discards one random card per excess card on resolution, and their projected hand limits reflect the lasting penalty. The Aftermath record includes the territory, turn, Moritani seat and original ally seat; it is not a second secret Terror face. The publisher paragraph ([E3-M, p. 5](https://gamers-hq.de/media/pdf/0f/7a/86/Dune_EcazMoritani_Rulebook_EN.pdf#page=5)) does not resolve what happens on later alliance change, so that transition remains gated rather than assigning the penalty to a new ally by inference. This checkpoint does not enable complete Moritani games or public expansion starts; other reactions and module combinations retain their own gates. Earlier absence statements above describe their dated checkpoints, not current behavior.
