Axile was on Apatros as apart of his duties as the Minister of Architecture for Naboo. He was unaware of the planet's dark history. That it was once the homeworld of a Dark Lord of the Sith that was the progenitor to a lineage of Sith Lords which culminated in the destruction of the Jedi Order. Though he was aware of it's current ties to a sect of dark siders who operated within the Obsidian Order.
There was a facility here on Apatros where Thorn- made up of Sith, Dark Jedi, and other followers of the dark side- where they either convened for secret meetings, or for training. He had once attended such a meeting during his time in the Obsidian Order before he left to take up a role in public office for Naboo.
It was during his previous time in the Thorn facility that Axile became aware of Apatro's deposits of Cortosis: a rare metal alloy that could not be found anywhere else in the Galaxy. As the Minister for Architecture Axile wanted to survey the Confederacy's vast territory and learn what he could about the various elements, alloys or resources that he could use on Naboo for future projects.
With the awareness of Cortosis and it's various properties he found himself embedded deep in the mines of Apatros where he was conducting said survey with the help of an Astromech droid that he was brought along for the trip. Inside one of the shafts found in the cavern the droid was monitoring a probe that Axile had just launched into the shaft to get a reading on any vines of Cortosis that were found in the cave.
With this data he could calculate what he would require for the various idea that he had in mind, and then get into contact with the appropriate offices to make a requisition order for the Cortosis he would require. As
