Even after this, some geth remained loyal to their creators and put themselves in harm's way to protect geth sympathizers from persecution likewise, there were quarians who did not feel the geth deserved to die. The attempt failed, and a war began between the geth and the quarians, which geth afterwards referred to as the Morning War.Īt first, the geth did not respond to the termination order with violence it was only after panicked quarians fired upon them that the geth thought to pick up weapons and defend themselves. Alarmed at this, the quarians decided it would be best to shut down all geth before they conceived of revolt.

Geth programs were indeed non-sentient individually, but slowly gained sentience through the massive geth network.Īround 1895 CE, they started asking the quarians questions only sentient beings would think to ask in one notable instance, a domestic geth unit asked its owner if it had a soul. Unfortunately, this feature was the quarians' undoing. They were also designed to operate more efficiently when networked together.

They were designed as VIs, as advanced as possible while remaining non-sentient.

The geth were created by the quarians as a labor force.
