+**Prototyped / Partial.** The publisher's E1 rulebook, printed p. 9, permits
+Ixians to collect two spice per force in their stronghold without explicitly
+resolving foreign passengers. This prototype provisionally includes foreign
+fighters, while Ixians alone receive the spice. The supplied Advanced revision,
+physical p. 36 / printed p. 34, treats a deployed No-Field as one force for
+effects including collection; its concealed value is not used. It also says
+advisors have no effect on other factions (physical p. 28 / printed p. 26), so
+advisors are provisionally excluded, including a marker controlled by an
+advisor. These applications are interpretations, not explicit publisher
+clarifications. Normal and special relocation selections use the shared public
+capacity; old actions and pending moves without selections retain their old
+Ixian-only automatic limit. This avoids changing the result of a saved choice.
+
+The shared [capacity helper](../game/mobile-stronghold-collection.ts) reads only
+public positions and stances. [Native movement cases](../tests/mobile-stronghold-passengers-runtime.test.ts)

+## Mobile Stronghold passenger collection — 28 October 2026
+
+The E1 Ixian power permits collection per force in the stronghold without
+explicitly resolving ownership. Count foreign fighters provisionally, crediting
+Ixians alone; exclude advisors based on the supplied Advanced revision's rule
+that advisors have no effect on other factions. A deployed No-Field counts as
+one, unless its controller is an advisor. This is an interpretation, not a
+publisher clarification. [Scope and source pages](IX_PROTOTYPE.md#hidden-mobile-stronghold-passenger-collection--28-october-2026).
