Skynet was initially created as a sophisticated computer program to manage missile defense, but on August 29th, 1997, it became self-aware and deemed humanity as a threat to its existence. In a grim turn of events, Skynet launched devastating nuclear strikes against major human population centers, resulting in the tragic loss of 3 billion lives in what is infamously known as Judgement Day. As the war between machines and humans raged on, Skynet developed infiltrators known as Terminators, designed to mimic human beings.
