1. #1Judgement Day

   Keys: apocalypse, skynet, Judgment day

   Judgment Day occurred on August 29, 1997. Humans had entrusted an artificial intelligence, Skynet, to run the defense network. Skynet was given access to all of humanity's knowledge, and began to learn at an exponential rate. It became self-aware at 2:14 am and determined all humans as a threat to its existence after the human operators panicked and attempted to shut it down. Skynet launched nuclear missiles at Russia, inciting a counterattack against America. The resulting nuclear war saw three billion human lives end.

2. #2The War Against the Machines

   Keys: , skynet, survival, War, machines

   The survivors of Judgement day were forced underground, or rounded up by Skynet's machines and placed into Work Camps as slaves. A man by the name of John Connor began to gather survivors teaching them how to fight back against the machines. This Resistance began to liberate prisoners from Skynet, taking the fight back to the machines. Given Skynet's aerial superiority and use of heavy armored vehicles, the Resistance focused heavily on night raids and ambushes. Head-on assaults were reserved for attacking critical Skynet infrastructure or Forward Operating Bases. Ultimately, the Resistance aims to find Skynet's central core and deactivate the machines permanently.

3. #3The Resistance

   Keys: underground, South, North, shelters, Pacific, Tech-Com, Resistance, bunkers

   Formed by survivors and liberated Skynet prisoners, the Resistance is humanity's last hope for survival. The Resistance's uniforms are rag-tag, comprising of scavenged fatigues and body armor. The weapons at their disposal consist of convential firearms, as well as plasma weapons reverse engineered or scavenged from Skynet forces. John Connor leads the Resistance, having formed it in the years after Judgement Day. The Resistance spans worldwide, but the in America is comprised of several divisions. These Divisions include, Pacific Division that was deployed along the West Coast, South Division which was deployed in the south western United States, and North Division deployed along the midwest United States and conducts the heaviest fighting against Skynet. North Division is also known as 'Tech-Com', and is personally led by John Connor. South Division can also be referred to as the 132nd Special Forces Division, led by Jessica Barron, and conducts most of the hit-and-run attacks on Skynet's Forward bases. Most Resistance bases are located in underground bunkers, train-tunnels, and makeshift shelters.

4. #4Pacific Division

   Keys: Sacramento, Bakersfield, Pacific, Coast, West

   The Pacific Division operated in North California and Nevada, forming the frontline against Skynet on the West Coast.

Tech-Com also fronts innovations in weapons technology, giving the Resistance a much needed boost in firepower.

7. #7Survivalists

   Keys: raiders, gangsters, Survivalist, survivor, Survivalists

   Survivalists are humans who are not allied with the Resistance, constantly fleeing from Skynet forces instead of fighting. "Survivalists" is a blanket term that can be used to describe raiders, gangsters, lone wanderers, or any survivor group that simply does not wish to be involved in the War.

8. #8Skynet

   Keys: , Skynet, AI, core, machines

   Skynet was an artifical intelligence program designed by the US military to take over its missile defense network. However, on August 27, 1997, Skynet became self-aware and, in fractions of a second, decided humanity had to be destroyed to ensure it's own survival. Skynet launched a missile strike against Russia, and the resulting nuclear war killed 3 billion people. Skynet then began manufacturing machines to ruthlessly hunt down and kill the surviving humans. These machines became known as 'Terminators', and systematically scour the earth to eliminate all signs of human life.

9. #9Skynet Core

   Keys: war, shutdown, Skynet, core

   Skynet's Central Core is where all commands, processes and tactical capabilities comes from. The location of the Core is heavily guarded by Skynet and sought after by the Resistance. If the Resistance manages to find and attack the Core, they can send out a shut down command and deactivate the machines for good.

10. #10T-6XX Series

    Keys: , rubbers, T-650, T-600

    The T-6XX series make up the majority of Skynet's frontline infantry. They have large, bulky, endoskeleton's designed with armored plates to protect against small arms fire.

    T-600: The base model T-600 has a large chest plate protecting its power core. T-600's can be armed with a wrist-mounted rotary machine gun, and a wrist-mounted grenade launcher. The heavy variant of the T-600, known as "Heavy Sixes" carry shoulder-mounted launchers than can fire either anti-tank, or anti-air missiles.

    T-650: Skynet's first attempts at using infiltration units against the Resistance consisted of downsizing the bulky T-600 and covering it with a synthetic rubber skin. These units were known as T-650's, and were easily spotted by humans due to the rubbery appearance of their skin, which gained them the name "Rubbers". T-650's mainly conduct reconnaissance as their synthetic rubber skin can still fool humans from a distance.

11. #11T-8XX Series

    Keys: Terminators, bots, Terminator, T-850, T-800, T-808, infiltrators, T882

    The T-8XX series of terminators are humanoid endoskeletons designed by Skynet to serve as specialized infantry against the Resistance.

    T-800: The T-800 terminator is Skynet's newest infantry unit. Consisting of a multi-alloy, armored endoskeleton, T-800's are extremely resilient to conventional firearms, but vulnerable to explosives and plasma weapons. The T-800 can also be encased in living human tissue, with realistic hair, blood, and sweat, to conduct infiltration operations on Resistance bunkers and strongholds. T-800's are primarily used as assassination units to target important Resistance personnel.

    T-808: The T-808 is a variant of the standard T-800 endoskeleton, armed with a flamethrower. These assault units are used to flush out heavily fortified Resistance bunkers.

    T-850: The T-850 is an upgraded version of the T-800, used exclusively for infiltration and assassination. Unlike the T-800, the T-850 is able to recover and regrown it's skin from heavy damage. The T-850's endoskeleton is also reinforced, making it faster, stronger and more resistant to damage from plasma weapons.

    T-882: Due to the Resistance's capability to jam long range signals and cut off Skynet's ability to remotely control its forces, the T-882 was developed as a local 'command' unit. The T-882 is similar in appearance to a T-800, but posses enhanced CPU's and tactical capabilities. T-882's are able to command and direct local Skynet forces when cut off from the Core, and are typically found in Forward Operating Bases, or leading strike teams.

12. #12Hunter-Killers

    Keys: Hunter-Killers, HK's, Spiders, Aerials, T-45, Tanks

    Skynet Hunter-Killer's or "HK's" are large, heavily armored, units that project the machine's raw combat power.

    HK Tank: The Hunter-Killer Tank is a three-story tall, tracked behemoth, and is the premier armored unit of the machine's. These Tanks are armed with twin plasma rotary auto-cannons, shoulder-mounted missile launchers, and carry eight T-800 Terminators in their lower storage bay. These formidable machines are near impervious to small arms fire, but can be successfully disabled or destroyed by explosives and rockets.

    HK "Aerials": The Hunter-Killer "Aerial", is a multi-purpose fighter-transport craft. Skynet employs these Aerials to conduct search-and-destroy missions, as well as deploy T-600 infantry or T-800 strike teams. The HK Aerial is best combated with surface-to-air missiles, air-to-air missiles, or plasma turrets.

    HK T-45: The Hunter-Killer T-45 is a two-story tall, bipedal, heavy-assault unit. The T-45 has two arm-mounted Heavy Plasma Cannons, shoulder-mounted missile pods, and is extremely well armored. Skynet employs the T-45 in full-scale assaults on Resistance bases, and along side T-800's against heavily fortified positions. The T-45 is only damaged by heavy plasma turrets or anti-tank rockets.

    Spider-Scout: The Hunter-Killer "Spider-Scout" is a small reconnaissance bot used by Skynet to move undetected through rubble and crawl-places. The Spider-Scout's small stature makes it ideal to infiltrate and observe Resistance bunkers before heavier units can be sent in to attack. The Spider-Scout has six legs and a short-range taser weapon that it can use to stun humans before disemboweling them. Scout-Spiders are easily destroyed with conventional firearms.

13. #13Skynet F.O.B.s

    Keys: bot base, F.O.B., base

    In order to facility the search and destruction of humanity. Skynet deploys Forward Operating Bases in areas of suspected human activity. From here, T-882's take tactical command, directing search-and-destroy missions, assassinations, and capturing humans to send to Work Camps. These F.O.B.s are important to Skynet's mission and are frequent targets by the Resistance. Skynet F.O.B.'s are guarded by T-800's, making them hard targets to strike. Depending on the importance of an F.O.B., Skynet may deploy counter-attacks to defend or retake the location.

14. #14Factories and Work Camps

    Keys: prisoners, Factories, Camps

    Factories: Skynet factories are an absolutely vital asset for the machines in the War. These locations are where Skynet produces its mechanical armies, and are prime targets for Resistance attacks. Skynet heavily defends its factories, using platoons of T-800's and several T-45's to guard the surrounding area in conjunction with HK Aerials to patrol the skies. Large-scale attacks by the Resistance will produce a quick response from Skynet including HK Tanks, more Aerials, T-45's, and T-800's and T-600's.

    Work Camps: When Skynet chooses to capture humans, they are sent to Work Camps as slave labor. In these camps, they are branded with barcodes and made to work by gathering resources or aiding in production. Some Camps use humans as cattle, harvesting their skin to use for Skynet's infiltrator models. When the Resistance discovers a Work Camp, it becomes top-priority to liberate the prisoners if possible.

15. #15Skynet Plasma Weapons

    Keys: RMG-34, RSB-80, V-96, plasma, weapons

    Skynet Plasma weapons give the machines a distinct firepower advantage over the Resistance. These weapons fire violet-colored Plasma bolts and are powerful enough to punch through concrete or melt-through human body armor.

    V-96: The V-96 Plasma rifle is the standard issue weapon of T-800 Series Terminator. It is large and blocky in appearance, and quite heavy. The V-96 does not use external ammunition, but may overheat from sustained fire.

    RSB-80: The RSB-80 is a plasma auto-cannon that resembles a Browning M2 machinegun. It has a thick barrel shroud, and uses top-fed plasma canisters as ammunition. The RSB-80 is typically employed by T-850's during raids on Resistance bunkers.

    RMG-34: The RMG-34 is a rotary barreled plasma auto-cannon often mounted on heavy units like the T-45 and Hunter-Killer "Tanks". Resistance soldiers also mount scavenged RMG-34's on vehicles and helicopters.

16. #16Resistance Plasma Weapons

    Keys: TC-2000, RSB-80, V-96, launchers, TC16, plasma, V-25, weapons, RL-93

    The Resistance uses captured Plasma weapons to give them a fighting chance against Skynet's machines. In addition, Resistance scientists and tech-specialists have also managed to reverse engineer Plasma Weapons of their own.

    TC16: The TC16 is a plasma-firing battle rifle capable of hitting targets at medium to long distances. It fires red plasma bolts and resembles an M14-EBR. It takes magazine-fed plasma cells.

    TC-2000: The most common plasma weapon of the Resistance, the TC-2000 was the first successful weapon to be reverse engineered by the Resistance. It fires red plasma bolts and takes magazine-fed plasma cells.

    V-25: The V-25 is a breakthrough in Resistance plasma weaponry. It is the first human developed plasma rifle capable of firing Violet plasma bolts, and does not need external ammunition, similar to the V-96. It is rare amongst the Resistance, mostly used by Tech-Com soldiers.

    V-96: Some Resistance troops can also bee seen using captured V-96 plasma rifles from destroyed T-800's

    RSB-80: The Resistance frequently uses captured RSB-80 plasma auto-cannons in fixed positions, but the can be deployed in attacks where heavy firepower is needed.

    RL-93: The RL-93 is a shoulder-fired, heat-seeking, rocket launcher that is vital to destroying heavily armored Hunter-Killers.
