Scavengers (Non-affiliated)

Overview
"'Three billion human lives ended on August 29th, 1997. The survivors of the nuclear fire called the war Judgement day. They lived only to face a new nightmare. The war against the machines.' - Sarah Connor"Several years after the nuclear war, several survivor groups began to spring up around the time the radiation levels had settled. The remaining population that was left, were designated "scavengers" by Tec-Com personnel. The purpose of said term was to differentiate normal survivors from soldiers serving under the remnants of the U.S. army. Today, scavengers make up the majority of the human population and is a catch all term used to refer to anyone who isn't a member of Tech-Com.

Organisation
Scavengers are essentially the largest group among the general populace. The name is usually used as a catch-all term to describe those who are normal survivors that aren't affiliated with any groups. Scavengers mostly act on their own behalf as opposed to a group. They have no definitive leader or set structure behind their ranks. In this regard, many consider Tech-Com to be the titular authority among them. However this alone is up for dispute.

Many smaller factions are usually categorised among them for their similar behaviour or non-militaristic tendencies. Generally, the term can be thrown around to anyone who is not a drone or TC infantryman.
