John Doe and Married Doe had recently gotten a large inheritance from their parents who died in a space ship crash while doing illegal street racing. They wished to invest their money wisely so they bought YX-99 at a government auction. They planned to strip mine the entire planet for its resources so they could become industry tycoons.
