However, his career was cut short due to a training accident, which claimed his right eye. He was then transferred from field service to desk job.

After ascending to the throne, he would announce he would continue to maintain his mother's Aggressive Peacemaking policies.

This collective dislike policy became organized into a cabal, plotted against the Joseph. The over taxed the Hegemony Central Intelligence Bureau failed to alert Joseph on what would bring the Hegemony into crisis.
A member of the cabal was administrative clerk of the Hegemony's Marine Corp by the name of Captain Henry Green. The captain would take matters into his own hands being tired of Cabal's lack of action. In September 19th, 2549, he would enter the grounds of the Joseph's Palace on Terra patiently wait 27 hours for opportunity to lash his frustrations.
From a tree in Palace's grounds, he would take aim and fire his laser rifle as leave his Limo. Joseph had taken his laser resistant jack off just moments before when the Green's second shot would hit him. Six days after the assassination attempt, Joseph would die from his wounds.[3]
