Hardaker was the captain of the starship Titanic.

Biography

Hardaker was ordered by Max Capricorn to magnetise the hull, which would attract an incoming asteroid shower, and to keep the shields off so the asteroids would hit the vessel. He took part in the plan because he was dying of an unidentified illness which left him with six months to live. He was promised his family would receive a great deal of money.

When Midshipman Alonso Frame tried to reactivate the shields, Hardaker shot him with a service pistol. Before doing so, he lamented that he had been promised a crew of old men who had had their time, not boys. Although Hardaker was killed when the ship was struck, Frame survived the gunshot wound.
