Indeed! Also, let's not forget:

* That rock is the only source of PlotDeviceium, a rare and valuable 
mineral, anywhere within three sectors.

* That rock is so hard to map, with its weird clouds that prevent good 
satellite surveillance, that it's the perfect place for the insurgents
to 
set up their resupply camps.

* That rock is really valuable because the politicians say so! How would
it 
look if those Ruritanian bastards made us cut and run?! So you better
get 
down there and get the job done, soldier.

And so on and so forth. You can always come up with a reason, and it
won't 
be any better or worse than tens of thousands of brave soldiers have
died 
for in centuries past.
