The Geth are a bipedal, humanoid race of networked Artificial Intelligence that reside in the Terminus Systems. The Geth were created nearly 300 years ago by the quarians as laborers and tools of war. When the geth began to question their masters, the quarians attempted to exterminate them. The geth won the resulting war and reduced the quarians to a race of nomads. The example of the geth has led to a legally enforced, systematic repression of artificial intelligences in galactic society.
