Advantages
Advantage 1
You control No-Fields and manufacture advanced supplies for the Imperium.
Shipping No-Fields
Instead of shipping normally you may pay 1 spice (to the Guild) and do one of the following:
- Set any No-Field card face down with exactly 5 forces on it (or as many as possible).
- Add 5 forces to an already set No-Field (or many as possible).
- Return an existing No-Field back to your deck, returning all forces on it to your reserves.
Your No-Field deck contains 8 cards: One for each Stronghold, Spice Blow A, B, and Shield Wall.
When shipping to a No-Field place a spice from the bank on it to show it's been shipped to this turn. (See: rules for revealing on Spice Blows and under Storm)
(Ship & Move Phase) Richese and their ally cannot set/add to No-Fields this phase.
Revealing No-Fields
No-Fields may be revealed at any point during the Shipment and Movement phase except between a player's shipment and movement. When a No-Field is revealed place the forces on it in the corresponding territory and return the card back to your No-Field deck.
Any number of No-Fields may be revealed in a turn.
No-Field reveals ignore faction occupation limits.
No-Fields cannot be revealed in a location your ally has forces. No-Fields cannot be revealed in a sector under storm if that No-Field was set or added to this turn. When a Spice Blow No-Field from a previous turn is revealed return the forces on it to reserves.

During Mentat Phase you may ship a single No-Field using normal rules.
(Mentat Phase) Richese cannot ship a No-Field this phase.
Empowered By Steel
You spice dial a half price, if the Richese auction this turn was sold for 4+ spice. (flip up the Empowered Badge to track this)
(Bidding) The empowered badge stays face down this turn. OR (Combat Step 2.3) Richese must pay full price to spice dial this phase.
Boomerang Weapons
Whenever a weapon you play (except Lazgun) is blocked by a defense you may return the weapon to your hand for free.
(Combat Step 2.3) Richese weapons, and any faction's that has bought the weapon upgrade, act normally this phase.
Reflective Defenses
Whenever a defense you play blocks a weapon, you are considered to have played a projectile/poison weapon respectively, plus any other weapon you played.
(Combat Step 2.3) Richese defenses, and any faction's that has bought the defenses upgrade, act normally this phase.
Bidding Supplier
At the start of the Bidding Phase before the number of cards going up for bid is determined, you may auction an item from your cache face up (normal Treachery Cards can be auctioned face down). The auction is a normal bidding round beginning with the first player in Storm Order. You receive the spice paid for auction. If all factions pass on a Richese auction the item is returned and bidding begins for normal cards.
Karama cannot be played to buy from a Richese auction.
Ix looks at/splits piles after your card or token has been bought.
Harkonnen draw their extra Treachery Card only when they buy a Treachery Card from your auction.

Alliance
Shared No-Fields: Your ally may ship using No Fields. You do this by giving your ally full control of the No-Field(s) you allow them to ship with. Your ally pays stronghold rates for each troop they send. You cannot coexist with your ally on a No-Field. If the alliance breaks, immediately reveal their troops using normal rules. If their forces would be placed in the same territory as forces of their new ally return the troops that were on the No-Field to reserves.
Fate
Emergency Auction: Play your fate at any time. (If during combat, step 1.1) Start an auction for an item from your cache.
