Avatar: The Sequel
In the sequel, directed by Paul Verhoeven,
the "Star People" (dressed in leather trench coats and knee-boots, to the dulcet strains of Wagner) return to Pandora, drop tactical nukes from orbit as the ultimate in daisy-cutters, spray the 22nd Century's equivalent of Agent Orange on the rest of the planet, and strip mine the place for every picogram of "Unobtanium" ore they can get. In a fit of pique, Mother Pandora telepathically convinces the primary gas-giant to compress itself and ignite, thus wiping out all life on Pandora, including the hated "Star People." -- The Smallest Minority [HT:Exurban League]

Pretty much my scenario - except for the gas giant compressing.
Hence the "Star People" should use robotic mining. (And why would the gas giant listen to 'Mother Pandora' anyway? What's in it for the gas giant? "Come! Extinguish yourself to avenge me!" "Why should I do that? I don't have anything they want.")

Oh hell, that's easy. The gas giant gets to be a STAR! ;-)

Oh, like 2010?
Then carry on. (I still stick with the robot miners. Like in Traveller. If we are going to get all sci-fi geeky and such.)
*ahem*

BTW - since we are in the 21st Century and all -
Where IS my jet-pack?
Carry on.

You obviously need one of these.
