The Thoros Beta Exploitation
The Mentor regime systematically exploits the population of Thoros Beta through neural implantation, forced labor, and brutal medical experimentation. The Sixth Doctor's investigative curiosity clashes with institutional forces seeking to suppress the truth about the operations. The conflict encompasses Yrcanos' resistance, Crozier's ethical dissonance, and the regime's eventual collapse amid rebellion, as the Doctor and local rebels challenge the dystopian oppression.
