Who is funding these space mercenary cyborgs?

Warning: Spoilers
Mon Star escapes from his prison. But why was he there in the first place? That's never explained. Did he actually committed a crime to be there or is he there because he is an apparent political rival to the people that pays Commander Stargazer's salary? We don't know. All we know is that Commander Stargazer claims he is a "Universal public enemy number 1", but how do we know that this Commander doesn't have his own agenda? There are no good nor bad people in the world. Only people with agendas.

Mon Star tries to bribe the guards before his escape because who wouldn't in his position? And all they do is mock him and also accuse him of harming a guard in his previous escape. Something that is never proven I shall say. It could have easily been in self-defense as we later see, when he is shot by one of these guard without a warning, without receiving any command to comply. He proceeds to reflect this laser attack killing the guard, again in self-defense. Seriously, if the videos of armed black people being shot down by the police aggravate you then skip this scene, he gave no warning whatsoever before he started shooting at Mon Star.

Back on Earth a "Professor" and a "General" gather a team of highly trained soldiers and transform them into cyborgs. They give them an expensive spaceship that can disappear and they test their abilities against some jet drone that some green alien is controlling remotely.

The real questions here are who is funding this? Where is the money coming from? Is that green alien behind this operation or is he simply an arms dealer? Why do these people on Earth need to help out Commander Stargazer in another galaxy? What is in it for them? It's clear that the same people that are paying them to send these cyborg assassins to the galaxy of Limbo and that will provide the Silver Hawks the resources to fight Mon Star there for the rest of show are the same people that wanted Mon Star to be jailed. But why? Mon Star's true enemy has yet to reveal itself, the Silver Hawks are just it's goons. Paid soldiers. Mercenaries that will try to capture or kill Mon Star. No good guys in this world, only people with agendas.
