Terminator: Dark Fate

The Terminator RPG timeline

After Judgment Day, better known as "Lluvia de Fuego" in Mexico, most border towns were obliterated. Of the 29 border cities, only five escaped nuclear attack. Initially, Mexico took in American refugees, but as their numbers surged into the hundreds of thousands, the authorities tried to close the borders. However, the army wasn't ready, and the troops found themselves outnumbered. Conflict soon erupted, triggering the Second Mexican-American War.

This war led to the occupation of the Del Rio/Ciudad Acuña crossing. Roughly a million people became trapped in the fighting at the five remaining crossing points, turning them into prime targets for Skynet. When the Mexican army joined the battle and called for air support, Skynet responded by sending B-2 bombers to devastate ten major Mexican cities, including Monterrey and Guadalajara, with nuclear strikes. Mexico City was hit twice, killing millions and causing the government to collapse.

American refugees, under fractured leadership, fled south to San Miguel de Allende. In Sonora, some Arizonan refugees fortified Hermosillo but were quickly surrounded by Mexican forces. Skynet introduced its first HK-Tanks, disguised as American reinforcements, during the pivotal Battle of Hermosillo. The Hunter-Killers destroyed the city, crushing Mexican and American troops alike and extinguishing any hope of resistance. The remaining Americans regrouped in Cabo while the battered Mexican forces withdrew to the mountains. In the ensuing chaos, drug cartels rose to power, becoming feudal lords and possibly forming alliances with Skynet.

A year later, Nuclear Autumn brought widespread famine and death, as most of Mexico's food supplies had been destroyed. The rural South managed to survive, though at great cost and with the lingering threat of radiation. The cartels seized control of the remaining regions, enslaving survivors and monopolizing resources. Michoacán, the Pacific Coast, the Gulf Coast, and especially the Yucatán Peninsula would suffer greatly.

Skynet pressed on with its Mexican campaign, sending B-52 bombers to carpet-bomb Mexican cities once again. San Miguel and Cabo were among the targets, with Cabo suffering further destruction when a nuclear reactor aboard a nearby submarine was hit. The survivors fled into the mountains and San Miguel eventually fell to slavers like Yesenia Martinez, who captured the remaining inhabitants. A mysterious broadcast from Colonel Elijah Brown later called on American survivors to relocate to "New Cabo," though no one who ventured there returned.

Before Judgment Day, Mexico's population was over 126 million. After the Nuclear Autumn, only 40 to 60 million remained, with life expectancy drastically reduced. The Sierras became one of the few safe havens, while the cartels controlled the coasts, and much of the central lowlands remained irradiated. The southern highlands became lawless, overrun by cartels, guerrillas, poachers, and Skynet's Terminator units, making survival nearly impossible.
