Staban must be among the Units that move or attack when his card places a Smuggler and moves the Legion; you may still split the Legion, but Staban goes with the part that moves. On Desert Power, the designers reportedly intended that when a Leader special action or Planning card grants a Desert Power Action, it must be a base action, so no Leader special action (including the Wild Maker's) can be used for it. This was not made official and the rules as written allow it, so groups may rule either way. If Staban is replaced by a generic Naib he goes to the Regeneration Tank and re-enters in any Atreides Legion when he leaves it.
