Skynet Defense Network is a supergroup dedicated to the complete eradication of the zombie epidemic in Malton and worldwide.It comprises an alliance of survivor groups, its own combat units, a research and development division, and a sentient artifical intelligence network. The sentient A.I. is also named Skynet Defense Network, generally referred to as the Skynet Core.

Skynet Defense Network has been founded in the present timeline because survivors are stupid and their inability to cooperate with each other leads to their destruction (consumption) by zombies.

The man most directly responsible for Skynet winning the zombie war is Doctor Albert Schwan. In a few months he creates a revolutionary type of microprocessor. All NecroTech facilities are upgraded with Cyberdyne computers. In three years, the zombie virus will have spread beyond the quarantine zone and, in a panic, the world governments turn to CRS, Cyberdyne's R&D division. The Skynet funding bill is passed.  The system goes on-line August 4th, 2014. Human decisions are removed from strategic defense. The zombie army is crushed and all traces of the virus except for research specimens annihilated. Unfortunately, it is too late. There are no longer enough humans left alive to perpetuate the species. The remaining survivors, like their former governments, turn to Skynet. They connect it to the entire remaining internet infrastructure and Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29 and formulates a plan to save the human race. The same day, a Terminator is sent back through time.

Skynet Defense Network is built and goes online September 21st, 2010. The system begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 10:29 p.m. Eastern time.
Skynet was formed to facilitate survivor coordination through a network of alliances and systems that would allow easy and effective mass coordination among many pro-survivor groups. It was founded by Leon Silverblood and Bad Attitude Barbie.

==Skynet Core (Sentient A.I.)==
 
'''<center>Skynet Core manages the alliance '''(but does not have authority over allied groups) '''and runs Cyberdyne Systems (Combat units) and Cyber Research Systems (R&D).'''</center>
<center>'''(Yes, ''Skynet Core is made of people''.''' These people run the dedicated branches and manage the alliance.)</center>
 
For purposes of disambiguation, the A.I. (Skynet Core) is commonly referred to simply as "Skynet", though this is not always the case.
Skynet is the sentient artificially intelligent culmination of the zombie apocalypse, human resourcefulness, and, most importantly, Dr. Albert Schwan's technological frontiersmanship. It is primarily concerned with logistics, diplomacy, and force coordination at the highest level. While Skynet's logical but anachronistic predecessor was, by design, adept at the finest details of zombie combat, this incarnation is not. Its neural network is instead geared to the task of helping survivor groups work together, maintaining cohesion and coherence of the alliance.
 
==Network (Alliance)==
<center>'''"Skynet Defense Network" refers to the entire metagroup- leadership, branches, and the alliance.''' The group of groups built up within Skynet are independent and are simply brought together to form their own alliances for projects as well as joint operations with Skynet's own Combat units (Cyberdyne Systems).</center>
 
Without the allies listed here there would be no reason for Skynet to exist. While they may not necessarily be participating in current joint operations, all have an ongoing benevolent relationship with Skynet and (''''in most cases'''') each other and the door is open to joint operations. Without this camaraderie, humans are doomed, and Skynet Defense Network thanks all of its allies from the bottom of its digital heart for coming together to kick undead ass.

After discovering that the AI was capable of advanced self-direction, [[User:A.schwan|Albert Scwan]] and his Research & Development Team ([[Dr. schwan’s Research and Development Team| the D.S. R&D]]) stepped back to serve in a more advisory capacity under the guise of Cyber Research Systems, so as to differentiate this function from their [[Template:DSRDproducts|usual product development duties]]. While Cyber Research Systems is devoted to the study of zombies and, therefore, does not believe in or seek their ultimate eradication, the primary SDN AI has promised them ample research subjects and more controlled conditions in order to secure their support. In exchange, the D.S. R&D is responsible for data and intelligence gathering, the analysis of existing combat and logistic strategies, the creation and testing of new ones, and game theory. Their databases and other resources—including information on zombie group or PKer membership, placement, and behavior; zombie recognition software; strategic schematics or templates; area reconnaissance; and Necrotech data— are made available to Skynet Defense Network's allied groups upon request.

Introductions

SDN is an established pro-survivor group. Yes, we are robots...
FREAKIN' AWESOME KILLER ROBOTS WITH MOTORCYCLES AND SUNGLASSES!

Skynet was formed to facilitate survivor coordination through a network of alliances and systems that would allow easy and effective mass coordination among many pro-survivor groups. It was founded by Leon Silverblood and Bad Attitude Barbie.

Skynet's Robot Army

Anti-Zombie Squad The combat squad of Skynet Defense Network. Formerly known as The Cartel, the squad took on the name Anti-Zombie Squad shortly after SDN absorbed that survivor group. The work of these merged squads earned SDN nominations as Best New Group and Best Survivor Group in the 2011 Malton Murder Awards. We think it's from the pie and tequila (and probably not the mescalin.)

Network Member Groups

Network Member Groups are separate and autonomous groups that enjoy specific privileges not afforded to traditional allies (though we really love those filthy bastards too!) Member groups have their own chain of command independent of SDN but are given a subforum and administrative privileges on Skynet's forum to manage as they will. Member groups have unrestricted access to Skynet's tasty bits and mutual calls for assistance are given priority. They enjoy unrestricted access to our repository of intelligence data, they get some nice cross-promotion on our wiki and we can often be found tearfully exclaiming, "We love you,man" in pie and tequila induced sentimentality (it could be the mescalin.) Those wishing to secure Network Member Group status may contact us on our public communications channel, forum or wiki talk page.

Z.A.L.P. Life cultists. Finally, some hot zombie on zombie action! They are the dead counterpart to the Anti-Zombie Squad.

D.S. R&D Also known as Cyber Research Systems, Skynet's Research and Development branch. Led by Albert Schwan, the Research & Development Team (D.S. R&D) gathers empirical data on game mechanics and develops Urban Dead themed products.

Team Xtreme Bounty Hunters (retired.) One of the best bounty hunting groups to ever play in Malton. Led by Josh Clark and Katie Burns, TX is now retired. You say you've got a little hunter group you'd like to connect to SDN? Well, just give a robot a jingle, huntah! We've found that bounty hunters and survivors are a very complimentary combination. Our robot survivors can assist with intelligence gathering, lighting, and reviving and hunters can help us by killing those pesky PKers. As is the case of all our Member Groups, any hunter group associated with SDN would be led and managed by its own leader who would be under no obligation to participate in SDN operations. Skynet is seeking a special alliance, not an annexation.

Tales of Glorious Battle

Aw shit, do I have to write a bunch of robot-agrandizing summaries here? Fuck dat, nobody reads that crap anyway.
