In 2111, Isaac Godunov founded the vigilante group J9 to combat spiraling lawlessness across the colonized solar system, where conventional police forces failed. Godunov recruited three members—Blaster Kid, Stephen Bowie, and Angel Omachi—forming a team undertaking hazardous missions official authorities refused, operating for payment. He equipped J9 with the advanced robot Braiger as their key operational asset. Godunov's actions directly opposed a destructive initiative by Earth's Nubia section, which planned to destroy Jupiter to create new planets for human colonization. This plan endangered Earth itself, positioning Godunov and J9 against a critical system-wide threat.
