I have an idea!  Easiest way to stay neutral in a war is to have something EVERYONE needs.  So what if Tobias controls the only eezo mine on the planet, which is the only one in the system, and probably one of only a handful in the whole sector?  Eezo is extraordinarily rare, so finding another source to power your ships and whatnot would be difficult.  So Tobias maintains the peace by saying that if war breaks out, the eezo flow stops, no one has fuel for their ships, everyone loses all around.  Also he could potentially blow the mine up causing untold amounts of chaos on the planet killing thousands of slaves, crewmen, and resources.  That last part would, of course, be a giant bluff.  Tobias isn't the kind of man to slaughter thousands.  But the sheer fear of that happening should be enough of a deterrent to keep everyone for murdering each other in the streets.  So how does that sound?
