Captaion Oicunn's unfortunate escape

Assume the following situation. Captain Oicunn performs a dangerous 3-turn maneuver where a part of the template touches the edge of playable area. Although his ship would normally end the maneuver within the playable area, an enemy ship is in the way, so Oicunn bumps into it, moves backwards along the template and ends up outside the battlefield, so his ship has fleed and I need to remove it from the game. Will the enemy ship suffer damage from Oicunn's ability? Or, more generally, in what order the two following events are resolved:


1) a ship flees the battlefield due to a maneuver;

2) abilities with wording "after executing a maneuver" are triggered.

Oicunn is removed before damage is applied. Look at the rules reference guide under "Fleeing the Battlefield".

You'd have to determine final position before Oicunn will trigger. If this final position removes him from the game then he's gone and will not damage the ship that forced him out.

After you execute the manuver you're touching no ships because you're in the bin.
