" Once per round, after an enemy ship that is not defending against an attack suffers damage or critical damage, you may perform an attack against that ship."

The wording of Captain Jostero's pilot ability states he -has- to target the ship that suffered damage, not any ship in his arc so say Biggs, Jess Pava, and Captain Rex are all in Jostero's firing arc and Biggs has been harpooned, Jostero's normal attack has to target biggs but this attack causes Rex and Jess to suffer splash damage. Jostero then has to pick either Rex or Jess, he can't choose to attack biggs even if he wanted, and can't attack both since it's only once per round.
