Shu-Toran is a massive volcanic planet with vast amounts of veins and mines of ore/minerals throughout the planet. Despite the hostile climate and volcanic nature, the atmosphere of the planet is still breathable for species and not completely shutting off the surface from approaching travelers. Under the surface, a network of tunnels and cave networks, as these are the safest places for the cities to reside and continue their mining operations. Even though there is a network of cities underneath, the beating heart of the planet’s infrastructure relies on one massive tower called, the Spike on the surface. The structure and planet, once ruled by different noble families, had fallen to just one that ruled from the Spike after a power struggle. With the structure having just recently been able to start repairs, the family has an iron grip on the structure, the head of the family is a young man who knows exactly the value he stands on. After strife with the old Empire and Rebel Alliance that almost led to the destruction of their planet, the people have taken more of an isolationist view but even nobles need help from time to time.
If successful, the planet will provide a very ore-rich planet for the Mandalorians.

Another planet crying out for a change.
How to bring about that change? As was becoming increasingly common, that was up to Arthos Vizsla and his Mandalorian vod to decide. Lurking in the passenger bay of the gunship he had claimed for himself, Arthos called for the vod who were with him for this mission as he started up the holo table with the schematics of The Spike.
"Vidha. Cyrian."
He looked up from the schematics, his helmet off to one side of the table as he eyed his vod. His youthful face on full display, Arthos made no attempt to cover himself as a Child of the Watch might have done in the past. Instead he rubbed absently at the rough beginnings of a beard that he was trying to grow. It wasn't as thick as he would like it but he needed to grow it out more if he wanted to try and sculpt it into something he actually liked.
"Way I see it, we've got a couple of options here to get the planet supplying Mandalore." he tapped the hologram of the Spike, "Violence or Violently Diplomatic."
Pulling up an image of the current noble in charge of the planet, he grunted.
"This is the current leader - he's an authoritarian piece of shrak. But he could give us everything we want without disrupting supplies just for killing his main rival. OR we can contact his main rival, kill him and have the rival take over... but there's gonna be a transition phase where things go to hell. And when things are hell like that the supplies lines are in chaos." he frowned ever so slightly, "... I think we might need to make a deal with the devil, but I'm open to suggestions."
Sometimes they could afford to be the champions of the common people... and sometimes it just wasn't practical.
