After spending 176 years running his business, Capricorn's company failed and his board voted to kick him out. To get revenge, he sabotaged the Titanic's voyage by bribing Captain Hardaker to cause asteroids to strike the ship, and programming the Heavenly Host to kill any survivors. He intended for the Titanic to crash into Earth, detonating its nuclear storm drive and destroying all life on the planet. His company would then be wiped out, its board members jailed for mass murder, while Capricorn lived out his retirement on Penhaxico Two.
