Rule notes

Official Runlings:

The first function of this interrupt allows you to tow one ship for the extent of your available RANGE on the current turn; the interrupt is then discarded. When played for the second function, the interrupt remains on the ship to add the Tractor Beam permanently. You may play two copies of this interrupt on a ship, one to add a Tractor Beam and one to tow a ship. See towing.
