# Nexus cards: primary-source contract
Source audit, 10 September 2026. This document establishes the printed component inventory and implementation contract; it does not claim runtime support or lift expansion release gates. The ordinary worm-triggered alliance Nexus already in the engine is distinct from this optional card module.

Source for the entire table: [the twelve original printed components](https://boardgamegeek.com/image/7767032/dune-ecaz-and-moritani). All card identities appear once; the photograph is arranged Moritani/Tleilaxu/Richese/Ixians, Atreides/Bene Gesserit/CHOAM/Emperor, Guild/Ecaz/Harkonnen/Fremen.
## Bounded Ixian Betrayal source protocol — 1 October 2026
**Both printed alternatives are connected in the fresh local `ixian-betrayal`
prototype:** prevent the native Ixian Bidding advantage, or prevent the native
Advanced Technology advantage. This is an original-attempt interception, not
just an inspectable catalog entry. Verification is **Partial**, with development
stage **Verified** for genuine native, private, recovery, CLI and phone proof;
it does not certify complete Ixian/Nexus play or deployment.
The [runtime contract](NEXUS_CARD_RUNTIME.md#bounded-ixian-betrayal-local-runtime--1-october-2026)
and internal `nexus-ixian-betrayal` topic describe the usable controls.
### Source order and authority
- **Face:** the [photographed publisher-authored Ixian Nexus face](https://boardgamegeek.com/image/7767032/dune-ecaz-and-moritani)
grants either prevention alternative and expressly says one card cannot
prevent both. The photograph, not uploader commentary, supplies this panel.
- **E3:** [Ecaz & Moritani rules, printed pp.11,16](https://www.gf9games.com/dune/wp-content/uploads/EcazMoritani-Rulebook-LOWRES.pdf#page=11)
supply the separate physical Nexus inventory, unallied custody, opposing
native faction mode, discard-on-use and qualifying closing-phase draw.
- **E1:** [Ixians & Tleilaxu rules, printed pp.8–9,12](https://www.gf9games.com/dunegame/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/IxianAndTleilaxuRulebook.pdf#page=8)
supply native auction preparation, the extra inspection card and return,
Advanced Technology before bidding and Atreides inspection, and native
cancellation. The [existing auction audit](RICHESE_AUCTION_RULES.md#evidence-and-limits)
records the retrieved publisher text and its limits.
- **FAQ:** [November 2020 FAQ, printed pp.6–7](https://www.gf9games.com/dune/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Dune-FAQ-Nov-2020.pdf#page=6)
distinguishes cancelable native Ixian advantages from other acquisition
effects. **E2**, [CHOAM & Richese rules, printed pp.10–11](https://www.gf9games.com/dune/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/CHOAM-Rulebook-low-res.pdf#page=10),
does not settle Technology's substituted cache/Black Market custody;
its Ixian ally replacement answer is not a Technology prohibition.
The adopted user-owned `UNOFFICIAL_Revised_Dune_Rulebook_v.2.3_web.pdf` remains
the source for relevant Advanced core defaults, not this Nexus face. It supplies
no Ixian Nexus alternative, duration or response-priority ruling and is not
republished. Read the face with the native attempt's own source, rather than
borrowing another Nexus family's ban, response or cost.
### One current native attempt, one physical cost
Use requires the actual unallied non-Ixian holder of the singleton Ixian Nexus
while another seat is native Ixians. It discards that Nexus exactly once,
spending no Treachery Card, Karama, activation spice or force. Pass retains the
Nexus. The source fixes which alternative applies: the holder cannot choose
another attempt, draw count, hand card, lot, price or provider.
For **Bidding**, prevention takes the original native denied path before any
auction draw: draw exactly the normal allocated pool count, without the extra
inspection card, Ixian private inspection or return selector. All-pass takes
the original allowed path, including the real extra draw, private return and
normal auction continuation. Physical deck depletion remains the native
allocation's responsibility; this adapter does not manufacture cards.
For **Advanced Technology**, prevention occurs after the actual accepted native
declaration but before its swap or Atreides peek. Keep the selected Ixian hand
card and unseen lot in their original custody, preserve the declaration's
already-spent once-per-turn attempt, then resume the normal Atreides/auction
continuation once. All-pass performs the real declared exchange and its normal
continuation once. Declining the native Technology offer before declaration
still saves that option. Basic offers only the Bidding alternative.
Neither alternative undoes completed draws, selections, exchanges, peeks or
purchases, revokes other Ixian powers, or establishes a whole-phase ban.
Later legally available native attempts can create new events, including after
later physical Nexus recycling. General duration over other multiple-lot or
combined-module situations remains unresolved outside this current-attempt
profile; the word “advantage” is not an entire-phase ruling.
### Native counters first, then neutral acknowledgement
Resolve the existing native Karama window first, including its legal Advanced
Bene Gesserit substitution protocol. A successful native counter completes
the native denied transition once, with **no Nexus gate or Nexus cost**.
Only after all native counter passes, before draw/exchange/Atreides peek,
do publicly possible unallied non-Ixian seats with public held-Nexus presence
receive a uniform neutral acknowledgement. Irrelevant concealed faces also
receive Pass; only the canonical eligible owner's private view permits Use.
No publicly possible seat means immediate native allowance. All required
passes allow the original attempt once; accepted Use denies it once.
**Native-counter-first and uniform acknowledgement are explicit bounded
privacy/ordering inferences for this prototype, not publisher-prescribed
universal priority or resolution of other pending stacks.** No additional
Karama counter to the direct Nexus prevention is invented, and no blanket
Nexus-immunity rule follows. The native counter's cost and the independent
physical Nexus cost remain distinct.
The public event names only the original publicly announced kind and native
provider. It reveals no selected hand card, unseen lot, extra inspection
faces, deck order, private source receipt, rival Nexus identity or private
eligibility reason. Existing inspection of one's own actually held Nexus
remains authorized; a neutral prompt grants no new inspection entitlement.
## Bounded CHOAM Betrayal runtime
The unallied holder of the CHOAM Nexus card may use its Betrayal panel when CHOAM is seated and holds at least one Treachery Card. The printed panel names no phase, so the current prototype offers it at a clean playing boundary, not during another decision, response or automatic continuation. The server samples one card uniformly from CHOAM's actual hand; neither the holder nor the bot chooses its identity. The physical Nexus card and sampled Treachery Card are discarded once. CHOAM receives no spice, and this panel does not create an additional Karama reaction. The ordinary fresh-discard continuation handles any applicable discard consequence.
