Can an Epic Ship Rear Section Fire on Another Epic Ship it is Touching

By Sergovan, in X-Wing Rules Questions

A Huge ships front section runs straight into another Huge ships front section. They both suffer damage. Can the respective back sections still fire at each other or are they prevented due to the touching rule?

I don't have the rules sheet in front of me to check.

According to page 17 of the rulebook, ships touching each other cannot attack each other. I am unable to find anything in the rules for huge ships which overrules that. So no, the rear sections cannot attack each other.

Don't recall seeing anything in the rulebook for the Raider last night as we read through it during our game

I re-read the huge ship rules and it also doesn't mention touching so regular touching rules apply.
