Economy gain if any for mining moons like Titania?

In Warlords I envisioned the "outermost colonies" around Neptune and Uranus to be a political faction of their own. Separate from the inner planets (Hegemony) and the Jovian and Saturnian leagues. To explain this I believe that some sort of economic gain must exist for a decent population to settle these colonies.

Titania, like most moons of Neptune and Uranus, is made up of mainly ice and rock (I believe a few of moons may be different). Is there any thing worth mining, extracting, or tapping into on moons like Titania that could explain the development of decent sized colonies?

In my mind the colonies could at least be self sufficient having fuel from the ice giants and water/oxygen from the ice. They would also act as the rest stop or depot for ships heading to and from the Kuiper belt if that helps.
