Daryl Corgan was Captain of the UNIC Hornblower during its final expedition. While investigating a derelict alien spacecraft, multiple crew members encountered the Xenomorph species hibernating inside, unleashing a chain of events that ended in the destruction of the Hornblower, the alien derelict, and the Chinese/Asian-Nation Cooperative starship Glorious Sun. Officer Norton was one of only two survivors from the Hornblower following xenomorph outbreaks on two sperate vessels.
