I'm looking at a scenario where I have Spacetug Tractor Array on Unkar Plutt.

Can I use the Spacetug Tractor Array to barrel roll a ship into Unkar? The rules state you can cause ships to overlap, so I'm guessing it is possible.

Then, at the end of activation, I would assign a second tractor beam token onto that ship based on his ability.

I just want to verify before I try to pull this off in-game. Looks like a fun way to reduce a ship's agility for one of my flankers to close in and deal the real damage.

The rules state that you cannot cause ships to overlap using a tractor beam token.

This is not an action or a maneuver, and can cause the ship to overlap obstacles (but not other ships). The ship suffers the effect of any obstacle it overlaps.

Since a ship must overlap another ship for them to be considered "Touching", you cannot tractor beam a ship so that it is now touching another ship.

Ah, my bad. Re-reading it now: can cause the ship to overlap obstacles (but NOT other ships). Bummer.
