A series of increasingly aggressive border skirmishes leads to an invasion by the Texas State Guard.

The Texas militia sweeps aside the paltry resistance and occupies New Mexico. The conquered territory is renamed New Texas. The Military Governor exploits New Texas for its water while forcing it to pay for the cost of its own occupation.

Resistance to the Texas occupation begins in isolated pockets strung together by a pirate radio station. Censorship and brutality by Texas leads to violent reprisals by a growing insurgency. The rebellion burns in the city streets, on the internet and throughout the remote desert mountains.
